House proud
The sellers, working in the creative fields, put their stamp on the design during their decade-long ownership of this post-modern home, which has been gradually updated and upgraded into a jewel box hideaway in North Sea near Big Fresh Pond.
“This was their getaway from the city,” says Daniel Kandinov the Corcoran listing agent representing the property, new to the market just this week. Now, he says, it’s a stunning turnkey residence resulting from an architect’s dream and an artist’s eye.
“When you drive in, you’re surrounded by lush trees and nature,” he says, “and you feel like you’re in a storybook home perfect for an artist or writer.”
What’s the plan?
The one-story home is anchored by the open format dining, living room and kitchen area featuring wrap-around glass walls that bathe the interior with light. “You get tons of natural sunlight splashing through every angle of every room,” Kandinov says.
There are multiple entry points to a wrap-around deck from the common area side of the home. The non-deck side contains the three bedrooms and shared full bathroom. The primary bedroom is 166 square feet and the other two are respectively 138 and 93 square feet, each with a closet and windows.
What’s cooking?
The kitchen has been outfitted with sleek stainless-steel cabinets and quartz countertops, and equally sleek appliances by the German appliance company Liebherr. A long island separates the kitchen from the living and dining room area and provides additional counter seating. There are closets for both pantry and laundry.
What else?
In addition to the design and appliance upgrades, the sellers have replaced the HVAC system and flooring. The bathroom feature mother of pearl accents in the tile.
One cool thing
The home borders Big Fresh Pond, and a nature preserve, but you don’t have to leave the grounds to feel like you’re in your own park. Mature trees and meandering paths with stepping stones lined with shrubbery give the yard and surrounds the feel of a private park.
Agent’s callout
“There’s something incredibly special about this home. It offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hamptons, yet just minutes from Southampton Village and the bay beaches,” says Kandinov. “It’s the perfect balance of serenity and convenience. Thoughtfully renovated and completely turnkey, the home offers an effortless, low-maintenance lifestyle with the added appeal of modest carrying costs — a compelling combination in today’s Hamptons market.”
Location, location, location
The studio retreat in the woods is about 4.5 miles from the center of Southampton Village. It is surrounded by natural preserves: Wolf Swamp Sanctuary and Preserve to the immediate west, Scallop Pond Preserve1.8 miles north, and Tuckahoe Woods Preserve about two miles south, with walking trails open to the public (there’s a scheduled public hike, Nov. 10 from 2 – 3:30p.m.).
