Built in 2022, this multi-faceted contemporary chateau offers the privacy and glamor of estate living only minutes away from East Hampton.
Set on one acre, and offering six bedrooms and seven and half bathrooms in 8,000 square feet, the three-story home has unique, customized high-end finishes throughout. Oversized floor to ceiling windows on the first floor visually expand the space, emphasizing the ease of indoor/outdoor living this home offers with its multiple outdoor spaces for recreation and entertainment.
“The entire house was customized for the owners and is an extraordinary blend of interior and exterior living spaces,” says Martha Gundersen, the Douglas Elliman agent who is listing the property.
The front portico opens onto a grand foyer that leads into an expansive open-floor plan. Indeed, the only spaces on this level that are separate are a 170-square-foot home office, the 500-plus square foot wing housing the primary suite and a 300-square-foot ensuite guest room. The first level offers two living-room areas of nearly 700 square feet combined, and the listing notes describe that space as “inspired by London’s finest hotels,” featuring lacquered wood-paneled walls with architectural lighting, a wet bar with custom bronze glass, fireplace with Italian quartzite stone hearth and intuitive mood lighting.” The interior dining room features backlit Italian quartzite stone wall panels with floating glass shelves and a stone fireplace. The owners used a variety of high-end or custom materials for flooring: custom oak, Italian stone slab in the kitchen and baths, and Italian stone on all exterior terraces
The Italian craftsmanship continues in the nearly 400-square-foot kitchen with custom millwork and cabinetry by Varenna for Poliform, quartzite Italian stone backsplashes and countertop. It is fully equipped with Wolf and Miele appliances, and two integrated refrigerators and two dishwashers. The center island has a prep sink and seats five comfortably. A 50-square-foot pantry offers additional storage.
The main-floor primary suite includes a sitting area and private sculpture garden, its high-design bathroom features a Duravit soaking tub, radiant-heart floors, motion lighting sensors and two custom lit closets. The second floor is devoted to three ensuite guest rooms, one of which is a 292-square-foot primary suite.
The main feature of the third floor is a 850 square-foot media room projection screen theater, full bath, wet bar, motorized blackout shades for the skylights and custom millwork. There is also a generous attic space, a cedar closet and half bathroom. The finished basement is equally well appointed with a lounge, wine room, sauna, cedar closet and a double-appliance laundry room.
Very unique to this offering is what Gundersen calls an “impeccably curated modern art collection,” which is available upon request and transacted separately and, she notes “the unique furniture custom designed for the house is open to discussion.”
Smart technology is employed all throughout the home — from wifi/Smartphone-enabled systems, to security, custom interior and architectural lighting and automated window treatments. Additional amenities include central vacuum, Lutron lighting controls, custom audio inside and out a comprehensive audio/video surveillance, a 2.5-car heated garage and smart irrigation.
The exterior is as impressive as the interior, with three outdoor pavilions providing additional experiences. A heated glass roof atrium connects the main house and the outdoor dining pavilion. The entire covered outdoor living space is enclosed with motorized retractable screens. The expansive outdoor living pavilion has 14-foot ceilings, a 12-foot granite-clad kitchen with refrigerator, sink and grill station, and a 16-foot-wide custom wood-burning fireplace with floating hearth.
The 25-foot infinity gunite salt water pool includes a spa and is complemented by a 180-square-foot pool house with a full basement, full bath, and an outdoor shower.
The estate is set back from the road by a long gated driveway and is ringed with tall trees and privacy hedges. With multiple entertainment options, it is a self-sufficient property offering equal dashes of lifestyle and luxury.
“This is an extremely prestigious East Hampton Village south location in the estate section, on an incredibly beautiful tree-lined lane,” Gundersen says. “It’s a quiet, south of the highway lane, family friendly with joggers, bikes, dog walkers and baby carriages and literally almost no traffic.”
East Hampton village is 1.3 miles away and offers high-end dining and shopping. Also nearby are the Guild Hall arts center, East Hampton Village Nature Trail and Wildlife Sanctuary, Hook Pond, which has a public park, and the Maidstone Club. Nearby waterfront recreation includes the East Hampton public beach, and Wiborg, Egypt and Two Mile Hollow beaches.
