House proud
Built in 1981, this home — under one family ownership since its construction — has been meticulously cared for and updated, including an expanded chef’s kitchen with vaulted ceilings, access to the deck and top-notch features.
Nestled among mature trees, the property offers a private respite, yet is easily accessible to the conveniences and attractions of East Hampton and Sag Harbor.
“The home sits on a shy half acre and it is thoughtfully landscaped, providing effective screening from the neighbors and giving the feel of a much larger lot,” says Peter Moore, the Corcoran listing agent representing the property. “This property is a rare find, offering a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living in a serene setting.”
What’s the plan?
The ground level floor is largely dedicated to the 590-square-foot great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, and the kitchen. There’s a separate sitting room/den with built-in shelving, accessed through the dining area. Three egresses to porches or patios provide easy access to the outdoors, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. An ensuite bedroom on this floor includes access to a private deck. The upper floor is dedicated to two bathrooms of near equal size—about 145 square feet—that share a bathroom. The lower level is finished with an office, a large flexible living/recreation space of 275 square feet, two cedar closets, storage and a utility room. A glass door leads to stairs and Bilco doors that have been fitted with glass to optimize the natural light.
What’s cooking?
Moore calls the 272-square-foot eat-in chef’s kitchen “pretty action packed with elite appliances.” The kitchen addition created vaulted ceilings, and the owner equipped it with a Wolf stove and double oven, glass-fronted Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, and two dishwashers. The custom cabinetry and center island are topped with granite. There is a walk-in pantry and sliding doors leading to the pool area. The dining area on the deck has an automated awning.

Agent’s callout
