One of the most prestigious addresses in the East Hampton Estate Section, this eight bedroom residence redefines historic Hamptons style, elevated for modern luxury living. Around the corner from Main Beach, the property’s parklike grounds boast 200 year old London Plane trees, towering hedges, and unique privacy. Designed and built in 1900 by Thomas Nash, Esq. as part of the original Summer Colony, the home, listed on the Historic Register, exemplifies classic Hamptons Shingle architecture that remains extremely popular among those who appreciate the area’s long history. The house was repositioned for optimal aesthetics and function in a complete renovation, to retain and restore, or professionally replicate all original details, while adding up to date amenities, systems, and designer finishes throughout.The layout has been reimagined with reverence to the home’s original character and to maximize an ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A soaring double-height center-hall with a fireplace and large sitting area introduces gorgeous casement windows, dazzling designer lighting, handsome millwork, radiant-heat stone floors and hand scraped herringbone floors, to be found throughout. To the right, a beautiful formal dining room flows to an extraordinary gourmet kitchen with a sun-splashed breakfast room. This exceptional space features a commanding, original brick fireplace, beamed ceilings, a custom white glass island, and sleek stone counters, surrounding a fleet of upscale stainless steel appliances. A butler’s pantry with a soapstone cutting sink, a mudroom with lockers, and a powder room complete the charming space. To the left of the center-hall, discover an expansive sunken living room with a stately, marble fireplace flanked by built in bookcases and original divided light windows, a spacious den with an onyx fireplace, an all-season sunroom with built in ceiling heaters overlooking the spa and pool, and a second elegant powder room for entertaining.

A large balcony off of the bedroom welcomes morning coffee overlooking the verdant oasis.
