Would you like to spend Summer 2013 living here?

 

 

Like most Hamptonites, KDH loves to pour over pictures of haute Hamptons homes ~ whether it’s an mansion on Meadow Lane, a perfect Sag Harbor whaling cottage, or a Victorian farmhouse in Water Mill. By all insider accounts, the high end Hamptons market has rebounded with a boom, so if you happen to be on the hunt for a gaspworthy waterfront estate, check out this Southampton charmer that is creating quite a buzz…..

 

 

The entry foyer looks into the living room with fireplace, exposed ceiling beams, and tall windows out to a covered, water-facing patio.

 

 

The traditional Southampton estate sits on nearly five acres of sprawling property, bordering the 31-acre Ruth Wales DuPont Preserve. Channel Jay Gatsby as you pass through the private gated entrance and proceed down a long, serpentine drive past landscaped lawns and mature plantings. The residence has retained original details and patina, all indicative of the early 20th century, and boasts 293’ of waterfront on Heady Creek with unobstructed western views across Shinnecock Bay.

 

 

 

 

Senior Vice President, Associate Broker and top producer worldwide, Harald Grant, shares with KDH, “This property is very special, owing to it’s unique location. The estate is literally perched at the end of a peninsula in Southampton’s estate section, and has its own 300 feet of direct waterfront with tremendous West-facing views and stunning sunsets. The acreage borders the Ruth Wales DuPont reserve with 3000 contiguous feet of waterfront. Every component is in place – extensive gardens on almost five acres, a tennis court, pool – for a magnificent estate.”

 

 

 

 

Off the living room, the formal dining room with painted murals also opens to a four-season sunroom ideal for casual dining and spectacular sunsets [both, below].

 

 

 

 

 

 

This property is designed for the quintessential Hamptons hostess with two kitchens, one service, and one main, which include three refrigerators and two dishwashers, with an adjacent family room and fireplace . A rear staff area contains the laundry room, service entry and three staff bed/bath suites.

 

 

 

 

Love to fill your Hamptons home with family and friends? The estate has ten bedrooms, seven baths, a powder room, living room, den, formal dining room, sunroom, covered patio, chef’s and service kitchens, as well as staff quarters!

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of one hallway, past a powder room and guest suite, the ground-floor master suite with fireplace and two dressing closets has its own water view patio [below]. A staircase leads up to two bedrooms, one with a water-facing deck and fireplace, a bath that is reminiscent of a captain’s wood-paneled “head,” and an additional guest suite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two back staircases lead up to two bedrooms, a bath, a connecting sitting room with day bed, and a living room [below]. An additional bedroom and bath is located at the base of one of the back staircases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outdoor spaces of the estate are equally impressive, featuring: a free-form swimming pool and patio leading to the Jacuzzi spa, curated cutting gardens, and paths with a footbridge over a picturesque pond. A covered car port and caretaker sheds round out this storybook setting.
