House proud
Though brand-new, this home relies on old-school architectural references: classic Hamptons cottage with a little nod to the Dutch Gambrel style and even a bit of Arts and Crafts. But inside, it’s contemporary all the way, with high-quality, bespoke finishes at every turn. The team bringing it to market includes Vault Development Partners, architect Brian Glasser and local builder Phil Kouffman.
“This is a very meticulous third-generation builder who knows how to curate this kind of home,” says Martha Gundersen, the Douglas Elliman agent representing the listing with Paul Brennan, also of Elliman.
What’s the plan?
The grand foyer leads to the 236-square-foot great room, anchored by a gas fireplace (this and others can be converted to wood burning, Gundersen notes). It shares the open format with the 153-square-foot dining area—all adjacent to the main kitchen. To the right of the front entry foyer is an ensuite guest bedroom. Two ensuite guest rooms and the primary bedroom suite, with a gas fireplace and oversized bathroom, occupy the second level, but almost of equal priority are the three generous covered terraces, each offering privacy or convivial space, as you wish. The hallways provide separation and privacy between the sleeping quarters. The ground level has an flexible recreation space with built-in wine storage, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The patio area has been built out to accommodate a stone stairway to the pool area.
What’s cooking?
Take your pick where you want to prep! This home has two very detailed working kitchens by Henrybuilt: a 378-square-foot kitchen with all the trimmings, include Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a secondary 136-square-foot fully equipped chef’s prep kitchen. Such a layout, Gundersen says, allows for heavy lifting in the prep kitchen, freeing up the main kitchen for lighter prep and entertaining. Between the two, there are dual dishwashers and refrigeration units, and a ceiling to floor wine fridge. The kitchen offers a pass-through service window to the outdoor dining area.
What else?
The home features more than 1,500 square feet of covered terraces and balconies, one of which is the outdoor ground level living space with radiant heat floors, a fireplace, home theater set up and 38-foot accordion doors, that when open, provide a seamless transition between inside and out. The area has an automated screen system to enclose the entire porch.

Agent’s callout
“This home has an old-fashioned Hampton estate feel but with all the elements of modern living,” Gundersen says. “Nothing was spared in terms of picking out the best materials—even the bathrooms have been curated with custom stone.” She notes the white-oak floors and ceilings were also bespoke— hewn with no knots and custom colored.
