The nuts and bolts

3 bedrooms

3.5 bathrooms 

3,500 square feet

.6 acres

House proud

Owned by a significant artist whose work hangs in museums worldwide, this circa 1978 home underwent a complete renovation from bed to bath in 2023 that refined and redefined the interior. The renovation kept the midcentury bones but added modern updates and lots of lightness, giving it a “stylish and restorative” character and seamless indoor-outdoor flow says Jackie Dunphy, the Corcoran listing agent representing the sale.

What’s the plan?

The three bedrooms wrap around the common areas on the ground-level floor, offering separation in between, and giving the ensuite primary bedroom its own wing with access to the patio. The spa-like bathroom is all marble with a separate room for the commode. The living room measures nearly 460 square feet with a vaulted ceiling, double-height windows overlooking the patio and pool, and a wood-burning fireplace. There’s a full bath and powder room on this level. The large attic, accessed by a pull-down ladder, features high ceilings and plenty of storage.

What’s cooking?

The combined galley kitchen and dining area are just over 300 square feet with marble countertops, updated stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry closet. There is multiple egress to the wrap-around patio. 

What else?

The finished lower level features a spacious walk-out art studio and additional full bathroom.

Amenities and more

• Heated 20 x 40 swimming pool
• Woodburning fireplace
• Finished walk-out lower-level studio

One cool thing (or two) 

This is an art lover’s home: Not only is there a studio on the lower level, but the walls have been reinforced with half-inch plywood behind the sheetrock to support heavy hangings.

Agent’s callout 

“It’s great for entertaining with double-height ceilings, a wall of windows that gives a great, light and bright feeling,” she says. “It’s a wonderful blend of mid-century aesthetic with a very Zen vibe.”

Location, location, location

“This is a quiet gem of a neighborhood  with no through traffic in the area, but offering access via the back roads to Sag Harbor and other locales,” says Dunphy. The home is about 4.5 miles from the village of East Hampton and eight miles from Sag Harbor. Waterfront attractions include Sammy’s and Maidstone Park beaches, Cedar Point County Park. Also nearby are Sag Harbor Golf Course and LongHouse Reserve.
