Inside an Unparalleled Hamptons Haven

June 10, 2025

A standout amid the traditional homes of the Hamptons, this peerless contemporary home features sleek clean lines, a generous sense of volume, a dynamic link with its lush green surroundings, and finishes and fixtures of the very finest quality

“In a world full of copies, be an original,” a popular maxim recommends, and this unparalleled 8,000-square-foot residence designed by noted architect Thomas Zung seems to have attained that goal. Approaching the rarefied designation of “the Hamptons at its very best,” it exemplifies self-assured but unshowy sophistication on a placid lane just blocks from the sea. A subtly luxurious contemporary getaway, it defies the architectural traditions of its exclusive coastal village, displaying its sleek, clean lines; lofty, airy ceilings and spaces; abundant windows, glass doors, and light; and a dedication to featuring the finest of every fixture and finish without a whiff of ostentation.

The palette throughout is serenely organic, and crisp lines subtly echo the ocean horizon in the distance, offering a grounding contrast to nature’s soft leaves and petals. Walnut and terrazzo floors carry the rich tones of woods and stone throughout, with accents provided by leather-wrapped teak stairs and other wood details. Venetian plaster walls impart a natural softness, and three fireplaces create a welcoming warmth. Extensive use of glass—in pervasive NanaWall windows and glass doors—blurs the lines between indoors and out, creating a dynamic interplay of the soigné interiors with the stunning, soothing surroundings.

The home includes a variety of spaces for entertaining: an inviting family room or library, a theater, a game and billiards room, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with stainless-steel appliances that transforms into a virtual covered patio with the opening of multiple wide NanaWall glass doors.

The seven bedrooms provide private places for peaceful, quiet—yet utterly stylish—solitude. Each of the nine baths is outfitted with fixtures and fittings from Lefroy Brooks, often referred to as the Rolls Royce of its realm. Stone and wood reappear in spaces dedicated to wellness: a teak-walled sauna and a marble-clad steam room. Lutron and Savant home automation systems further the sense of utmost ease.

Throughout the property, the natural and the manmade are in harmony and in active interplay. The outlook from nearly every vantage is one of enchanting enveloping greenery. Most rooms open to a breezy terrace or balcony, beyond which are luxuriously landscaped grounds and an enviable collection of alfresco spaces, including a dining area, a cozy fire pit set in an idyllic grove of trees, and a vast terrace surrounding the shimmering heated swimming pool and spa. The sound and feel of water are prevalent poolside and at nearly every other turn, as sea breezes waft by and ocean waves crash on sunny sandy shores just blocks away.
