Noted publishing and design-world stars Pilar Guzm\u00e1n and Chris Mitchell outlined their widely admired sense of style In 2022\u2019s Patina Modern\u2014now practically a de rigueur primer for the rustic-chic approach to d\u00e9cor. In the handful of East Coast residences they\u2019ve renovated in recent years, they implemented that singular aesthetic\u2014which blends modern and vintage elements while focusing on warmth, comfort, and timelessness\u2014demonstrating that older homes can retain classic character while also feeling fresh and current. In the case of this residence, a carriage house in East Hampton\u2019s coveted Georgica estate section\u2014expanded and rebuilt to span some 4,860 square feet\u2014they pay homage to tradition, putting an emphasis on preservation while applying subtle modern flair and adding 21st-century comforts and conveniences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enveloped by curtains of mature greenery, the home exhibits many of the hallmarks of a 19th-century Hampton\u2019s retreat: a handsome shingled fa\u00e7ade, a mansard roof, a cupola, a breezy covered porch, and abundant exceptionally beautiful windows. The reverence for tradition continues indoors, where beadboard, shiplap, exposed original ceiling beams, coffering, paneling, a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, and wainscoting hold sway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"open<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The foyer opens to a sophisticated living room, which in turn gives way through French doors to a sunroom-cum-billiards room, but the heart of the home is the magnificently inviting great room, an expansive space that includes a dining area with warm, honey-toned walls and floors; an open kitchen with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, built-in seating in a windowed bay, and full wine chiller; and a comfortable den tucked between the two, gazing through a bank of tall casement windows toward the enchanting backyard and swimming pool. Little luxuries make appearances even in the laundry room, which features stately stone countertops and eye-catching brass fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of three owner\u2019s suites is located on the main level and enjoys a spacious bath and access to a quiet terrace. The two additional suites\u2014both with soaking tubs, showers, and thoughtful closet space\u2014are secluded on the upper level, where one also benefits from a private balcony overlooking the idyllic backyard. Sharing the second floor are two guest suites and a sunny sitting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pool<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In its south-of-the-highway location, the home is minutes from East Hampton\u2019s Main Street as well as dreamy Atlantic beaches. But the remarkably lush 1.4-acre grounds are alluring in their own right. Behind and beside the home are swaths of lush gardens, a heated swimming pool, a pool house with a picnic terrace and an open-air shower, a freestanding gym, an alfresco dining area tucked among a verdant all\u00e9e, and a poolside pergola with a grilling area and pizza oven just steps away. Embracing it all are vibrant hydrangeas and flowering trees, reinforcing the sense that this is a true turnkey oasis, a place where time seems to stand still and the style seems destined to endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
