House proud
Built in 2022, this home, was recognized by the American Institute of Architects for its design that Compass listing agent Jennifer Friedberg says “brings together architecture, light and exceptional indoor-outdoor living.”
“It all comes together in a rare turn-key opportunity,” she says, noting that purchase of the home’s furnishings may be negotiated in a separate transaction.
What’s the plan?
The one-story home features 21-foot-high ceilings in the 1,008-square-foot great room anchored by a two-sided gas fireplace. There is egress to the covered back deck, which, in turn leads to a series of outdoor dedicated entertaining spaces. To the left of the entry foyer is a 20 x 14 primary bedroom suite with its own covered deck; to the right and down a hallway is a wing housing three other ensuite bedrooms, a 91-square-foot office with built-in desk and shelves, and a flexible den space of 169 square feet.
Says Friedberg, “It’s an expansive space with very nice separation in between the bedrooms.”
A long hallway connects the house to the garage and features an artfully designed mudroom/storage space—what Friedberg (rightfully) calls “an elegant and highly functional arrival experience.” The finished lower level has nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings, a recreation room of just over 1,000 square feet and another 10 x 12 space for a gym.
What’s cooking?
The 288-square-foot kitchen is equipped with integrated Wolf appliances and warm-toned sleek cabinetry with stone countertops. Floating shelves keep the room feeling uncluttered and the overall effect is a minimalist Scandinavian vibe. The center island seats five and there’s an integrated wine fridge.
What else?
The bathrooms feature spa-inspired designs, using natural materials to evoke a serene space. Some of the finer architectural and finish details in the home include white-oak flooring and Venetian plaster behind the kitchen stove and fireplace.

One cool thing
Each of the covered decks offer separation via slatted walls, as well as access to the communal sitting area with fireplace, deck and pool area.
Agent’s callout
“The grounds are beautifully landscaped to enhance both privacy and the home’s architectural presence,” Friedberg says, adding that the plantings and expansive lawn areas “create a serene, layered setting that feels private and exceptionally peaceful throughout the property.”
Location, location, location
The agent says known for its “uniquely relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle defined by privacy, natural beauty and beaches,” Shelter Island also offers “an increasingly exciting culinary and design scene.
“The island provides a rare sense of escape while remaining easily accessible,” she says.
Margarets Drive is on the west side of the island, just 3.2 miles from South Ferry. Nearby are Mashomack Preserve, Wades Beach, and Sylvester Manor Educational Farm and farm stand.
