House proud
Designed by architect Greg Zwirko and built in 2006 by Pat Trunzo, this meticulously maintained home is packed with fine finishes and details on a nearly 2.5-acre lot landscaped by Edmund Hollander.
“This was built by an expert legacy builder, now retired, but known for being the most meticulous builder right from the start,” says Martha Gundersen, the Douglas Elliman agent who is listing the property with her colleague, Paul Brennan. “It’s a real classic — done with architectural character and all the references for East Hampton, with modern comforts and all the bells and whistles.”
What’s the plan?
The home’s porch wraps around three-quarters of the footprint, with a 1,150-square-foot covered patio in the back. A significant feature is the porte-cochere between the home and the garage. The first floor features a classic design: entry though the 309-square-foot foyer, which leads directly in the nearly 600-square-foot great room with its fieldstone chimney — one of two in the home. To the left of the foyer, a hallway leads to the kitchen and dining room and a family room of about 700 square feet with a double-sided fireplace that also serves the enclosed porch.
The wing to the right of the foyer houses a guest suite with an office, walk-in closet and access to the porch. Bedrooms on the second floor are organized in two wings that offer separation and privacy, with two bedrooms in the center hallway that share a bathroom. The wing to the left houses the 510-square-foot primary bedroom suite with a sitting room, oversized bathroom, walk-in closet and private balcony overlooking the back yard. The wing to the right features a 360-square-foot family room and terrace, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The unfinished basement has high ceilings and offers nearly 3,000 square feet of space.
What’s cooking?
Comprising 265 square feet, the French country chef’s kitchen is equipped with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, cabinetry topped with custom granite and a large pantry. The carved wood center island includes a prep sink, seats two and is topped with marble.
What else?
This section East Hampton is known for its large lots and celebrity residents. Sited on a dead-end road, this home overlooks Georgica Cove and is surrounded by protected reserve land. The house has pretty details such as leaded windows, a hand-carved fireplace mantle in the great room and a custom staircase with ornate balusters.

One cool thing
The pool area is designed like a country resort with stacked-stone walls and waterfall, fieldstone pavers around the curvy pool and a shingled pool house outfitted with a kitchenette.
Agent’s callout
“This is a great place to entertain with the oversized kitchen and all the amenities, and resort-like landscaping, but it’s also a comfortable place,” Gundersen says. “It’s a large home but not overdone — a good architect does that.”
