With its quintessential wood shingles, pitched rooflines, white-trimmed windows, inviting modern interiors, and generous outdoor living spaces, this five-bedroom Amagansett residence stands as a shining example of the enduring allure of the Hamptons. 

Near what is known today as Indian Wells Beach, the Montaukett people found a spot they named the “place of good water”; their word for that site lent itself to the moniker Amagansett, an enchanting hamlet that is now a desirable destination with a relaxed atmosphere, historic homes and landmarks, and captivating beaches. At the end of a long secluded drive near the town’s idyllic Fresh Pond Park and Nepeague Bay, this five-bedroom retreat epitomizes the style and serenity of the Hamptons.

With its quintessential façade of classic wood shingles, pitched rooflines, white-trimmed windows, and generous outdoor living spaces, the residence stands as a shining example of enduring Hamptons style. The interiors, however, exhibit sleek lines, minimal flourishes, a subdued organic palette, and an aura of quiet luxury that make it unquestionably modern. In its delightful collection of inviting living spaces, glorious sunlight floods in through plentiful windows, clerestories, and French doors. Cooks of all skill levels will appreciate the kitchen’s stone-wrapped island with counter seating, streamlined cabinetry, and top-tier stainless-steel appliances. From its location on the lowest level, a scullery or catering kitchen facilitates festive gatherings or allows for easy snacking in the nearby media and game room.

Chief among the home’s five generous bedrooms is a primary suite serenely secluded on the upper level, where it enjoys views of the treetops. On the main level is an auxiliary suite, equally stylish and offering a similar sense of sophisticated comfort. Each of the seven chic baths has a distinctive palette and aesthetic that is decidedly contemporary. Fitness and self-care are effortless thanks to a dedicated gym and an indoor sauna. 

The interiors open to thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including areas for lounging, celebrating, grilling, or dining beneath colorful vining wisteria. A refreshing gunite swimming pool is surrounded by handsome bluestone and emerald lawn; not far off is an enviable open-air shower. On any evening and fall’s cooler days, built-in seating encourages gathering around the warming fire pit. Enveloping it all are green groves of mature trees and other lush, flourishing flora, creating a natural curtain of privacy and a sense of being at one with the surroundings. Nevertheless, the shops and restaurants of Amagansett’s historic Main Street, charming farm stands, and the undeniably “good water” of the area’s alluring ocean and bay beaches are all moments away.
