House proud
Part of Bayberry Close, an enclave of 10 cottages on 2.49 acres in East Hampton, this bungalow has been carefully renovated, with top finishes and custom details. Built in 1960, it is being sold outside the family for the first time.
With an on-site manager and year-round management company, “the property is meticulously cared for,” says Charles Warren, the Engel & Völkers agent representing the property. “There is basically no work for the owners.” Warren, who has a design background, oversaw the renovation of the cottage, noting “everything is brand new—from the cedar-shingled roof right down to the sheetrock and wiring.”
What’s the plan?
The floor plan is sweet and simple: the front door opens into the 179-square-foot living room anchored by the original decorative fireplace mantle. To the left is the 152-square-foot bedroom, with a skylight, bay window with a built-in seat, and double closets. On the other side of the living room and fireplace wall is the kitchen, bathroom and egress to the back brick patio. The space is made to feel larger with high ceilings—more than 12 feet in the living room—and skylights; a front-facing bay window lets in generous light.
What’s cooking?
The compact kitchen has been renovated with white Shaker-style cabinets and the stainless-steel appliances include Bosch dishwasher, cooktop and microwave. The counters are quartz, patterned after Italian Calacatta marble.
What else?
The bathroom has been finished in three patterns of Carrara marble, including the double sink vanity. The house is offered with professionally styled interiors and furnishings available in a separate purchase.

One cool thing
The back yard is a small European-style refuge, with flowering shrubs planted up against the cedar privacy fence. The cottage faces south and Warren says, with three skylights, the home is illuminated all day long, even in the off season.
Agent’s callout
“This is a generational property, now available for the first time outside the family, offered turnkey,” Warren says. “The proximity to the beach and the entry into the desirable locale between Main Beach and Lily Pond Lane, at this price point, makes this an extremely appealing offer.”
Location, location, location
The bungalow enclave is situated between Lily Pond Lane and East Hampton’s Main Beach. It’s 1.8 miles from the village, 2.2 miles to Georgica Pond and less than a mile to Hook Pond. LongHouse Reserve, the 16-acre sculpture garden and cultural space, is 3.5 miles from the home.
