House proud
Originally built in 1925, this home underwent a complete renovation in 2022, including new wiring, Lutron lighting and other smart technology. The owners uncovered and restored some of the original details such as exposed beams and restored the brick wood-burning fireplace.
“It was a thoughtful renovation and they were careful to not rip out all the original charm,” said Jason Schommer, the Corcoran agent representing the listing. “It’s modern, but not so overdone that it feels sterile.” And he adda, the smart technology is an unobtrusive convenience that “allows you to control the whole house from your phone.”
What’s the plan?
The home opens into a small foyer that leads into the living room with its original wood-burning fireplace, which in turn, leads to the open kitchen, a dining area and, to the back, a sitting area with windows on all sides, skylights and French doors to the patio. On the first level, the ceilings are vaulted in places and newly refurbished with exposed wood beams. A hallway from the kitchen leads to a bathroom and another guest bedroom. To the left of the front entry and at is an ensuite guest bedroom. The second floor houses two ensuite bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with a walk in closet. The unfinished basement hold the laundry facilities, mechanicals and storage: it has an outside egress.
What’s cooking?
The kitchen has been outfitted with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, Prussian blue lower cabinets topped with Caesarstone, white glass-paned upper cabinets, and a tiled backsplash.
What else?
The second floor landing features a sitting area/reading nook and access to a balcony.

Agent’s callout
This the quintessential Hamptons cottage—what people have in their head when they want a cottage,” says Schommer. “It’s not a huge house, but it has four real bedrooms and that additional flex space in the pool house doing double duty.” He added, “accessory space has have become a thing buyers are looking for and they did a really nice job with this one.”
Location, location, location
Schommer says the house, located on the corner of Audubon Avenue and Pine Street, is “technically on a corner lot,” but with only a couple of houses on the short, unpaved Pine Street, he says it really is almost like a private flag lot in a private little enclave with a lot of distance from your neighbors.” It is .7 miles from the center of Bridgehampton, passing the historic Beebe Windmill (circa 1820) on the way. Of local interest are Dia Bridgehampton / The Dan Flavin Art Institute, the grounds for the Hampton Classic Horse Show (Aug. 24-31 this year) and the Bridgehampton Golf Club.
