When viewed from afar, across the dunes, seagrass, and the waters of Sagaponack Pond, this quintessential Hamptons home recalls a postcard from a coastal vacation destination, emblazoned with the sentiment “Wish You Were Here.” Up close and in person, the scene is equally picturesque, with seaside blooms, wood walkways, numerous windows, abundant breezy outdoor spaces, and the shingled façade that is a paradigm of Long Island’s East End aesthetic.

Spanning some 6,000 square feet, the interiors display a reverence for New England seaside classicism, with richly hued wide-plank hardwood floors, crisp white millwork, five well-placed fireplaces, and plentiful windows filling nearly every space with the glorious natural light of the Hamptons. The heart of the home is a comfortable, inviting great room that includes a spacious cook’s kitchen with an island and top-caliber appliances, a welcoming casual dining area, and a family room area with a fireplace—all wrapped in windows and giving way to a lightly shaded deck space with a grill, a bar, and a fireplace. Fluid formal dining and living spaces accommodate more dignified moments. A sunroom-like den or study with its own fireplace is wrapped in windows. Throughout, sets of French doors provide wonderful light and effortless access to the outdoors, and the palette is serenely organic and fitting for the beachy locale.
The owner’s suite is a peaceful retreat with an airy tray ceiling, a cozy fireplace, a windowed sitting room, and French doors to an exceptional deck with a dazzling view of the water, sky, and sunsets. The light-flooded bath features classical fittings, a soaking tub, an oversized shower, and ocean-appropriate hues. A generous “junior” bedroom suite also enjoys the warmth of a fireplace, enviable views, deck access, and a similarly luxurious bath. One of the four guest bedrooms enjoys access to a private balcony. Above the two-car garage, an aerie with a bath and steamshower easily serves as a discreet gym.
On the main level is a delightful screened porch ideal for height-of-summer dining and lounging. A classic covered side porch is a perfect picturesque perch for daydreaming and reveling in an outlook that features a lush lawn, native coastal flora, and the water as it stretches toward the horizon. The refreshing swimming pool is surrounded by a wood sundeck wrapped in built-in seating; a soothing spa; a skylit pool cabana with a bath, changing rooms, and a sauna; and an arbored sitting area with a rugged stone fireplace, a built-in grill, and an alfresco bar. From many vantage points, the water view stretches across the pool toward the tides of the pond and the ocean beyond. Natural lawn rolls toward a long private dock that extends into the pond encouraging kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, sailing, and all manner of other seaside pursuits. A sandy beach is just a short distance away.
