House proud
Built in 1964, this one-story home has been renovated in a contemporary style that is in sync with its original mid-century aesthetics—sleek, unadorned and timelessly modern.
“You have to come on site to appreciate this incredible house in context,” says Diane Shifman, the Compass agent who is co-listing the property with Chris Coleman. “With the undeveloped adjacent lot, it’s an opportunity for someone to have a special property with a lot of future potential.”
What’s the plan?
The ground-floor level features a large open format living room, dining area and kitchen, with plenty of windows and sliding glass doors to let in the light. The common areas overlook the backyard. A second living room features an integrated gas-powered fireplace. The basement is unfinished, but clean, dry, and used for laundry and storage.
What’s cooking?
The chef’s kitchen features double height windows in a transom design, integrated shelving/storage has been completely renovated with Bosch and Miele appliances, sleek cabinetry and honed Caesarstone countertops. A waterfall island anchors the kitchen and seats three. There is a wine fridge.
What else?
The exterior has been carefully landscaped with numerous specimen and fruit trees, flowering hedges, a summer wildflower garden bed as well as a vegetable bed. There’s outdoor dining on the deck and a conversation area around a firepit. Adjacent to the primary lot is and additional half ace—currently a blank canvas that can be developed. It has “peek-a-boo” views of the water.

Agent’s callout
“Fireplace Road beach is around the corner with a Gardiner Island view, and the Driftwood Association offers private beach access. It’s a very old-farm, old Springs/Hampton v. new Hampton feel—relaxed, quiet,” says Shifman. “Stepping in this house is stepping into your own retreat away from the chaos.”
Location, location, location
The home is on the north end of the Springs neighborhood, 6.5 miles from the center of East Hampton and less than two miles from the Pollock-Krasner House, the former home and studio of artists Jackson Pollack and Lee Krasner. Nearby are Maidstone Park Beach, Sammy’s Beach, the Kaplan Meadows and Merrill Lake sanctuaries, Hog Creek, and two kayak launches off Gerard Drive.
