House proud

Sited at the end of a long driveway and a grand circular entrance, this home underwent a complete renovation that updated the traditional cedar cottage style without losing its classic character.  

The house is on a flag lot, with a generous back yard ringed by hedges, canopy trees and flowering hedges, which Lori Schiaffino, the Compass agent representing the listing, calls a “magical setting.”

“It really is a hidden gem just minutes from the village, but with mature trees all around. It’s like a park,” she says. 

What’s the plan?

The main floor includes an open format kitchen and dining area, family room and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Glass doors in the living room and dining room provide access to the large deck, where there’s additional dining space and a pergola. There’s also a ground-floor primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet and private deck. A hallway off the kitchen leads to the pantry, laundry, a powder room, the outdoor shower and access to the two-car garage. 

The second floor has three more ensuite bedrooms—one of which has a balcony overlooking the back yard—and a second primary suite with balcony. In another wing, over the garage, is a bedroom suite with a full bathroom and sitting room. The finished lower level has numerous flexible spaces including a media room, game room, an office and a full bathroom.

What’s cooking?

The kitchen is equipped with a Wolf double cooktop and double wall ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher. A large center island anchors the room, with a convenience sink, a beverage fridge, storage and counter seating. The white counter top provides a contrast to the black counters on the cabinets. There’s a barbecue terrace off the kitchen. 

What else?

Wide-plank hardwood floors are the unifying theme and tie together other natural-wood elements such as the beamed ceilings and finishes. 

Amenities and more

  • Swimming pool
  • Outdoor shower
  • Separate guest quarters
  • Radiant heat floors in the kitchen and two primary-suite bathrooms

One cool thing  

A large shed on the property has potential for conversion to a studio, office or recreational use. 

Agent’s callout 

“This home is ‘village fringe,’ but it’s really all about having a lot of open space among acres of protected lands and agricultural reserves,” Schiaffino says. “It’s unique to get almost two acres so close to the village.”

 

Location, location, location

The home is approximately 2.3 miles from the center of East Hampton village, the East Hampton Village Nature Trail and Wildlife Sanctuary and Duck Pond park. Also of interest is the Long Island Center for Conservation, a 130-year-old farmhouse protected by the Nature Conservancy and re-adapted as a center for education and native plat gardens; and LongHouse Reserve, a 16-acre reserve founded by artist Jack Lenor Larsen. The grounds are open to the public and feature a sculpture garden, walking paths, gardens and the artist’s home modeled after a 7th-century Shinto shrine. It offers public programming around art, nature and wellness.
