Although Long Island is largely known today as the epitome of halcyon coastal getaways, its globally renowned villages trace their history to the 17th and 18th centuries, when they were small charming towns surrounded by pastureland. An ambience of that period suffuses this peaceful property\u2014four verdant acres near the villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor that have at their heart a quintessential Shingle-style residence with 5,300 square feet above ground and a 2,200-square-foot lower level. Its classic character and craftsmanship\u2014readily apparent in wide-plank hardwood floors, handsome stone tile, graceful arches, beamed ceilings, vintage-inspired fixtures and finishes, and hand-painted tiles\u2014harmonize with consummate contemporary comforts and conveniences, while the acreage includes a heated pool and spa, a secluded sauna, and mature flora. The result is an undeniably idyllic retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foyer introduces the timeless style that pervades the home and leads to the formal living and entertaining spaces. A wood-burning fireplace with a striking marble mantel anchors the living room, an elegant space where inviting natural light floods in through French doors. Through archways is the dining room, whose walls are handpainted in a lively pastoral pattern that echoes the greenery surrounding the residence. Windows and French doors overlook and open to the verdant backyard. An ambience of the Old World countryside animates the chef\u2019s kitchen, custom-designed by deVOL and boasting appliances from Sub-Zero and Wolf, an oversized island with counter seating, a butler\u2019s pantry\u2014finished in a captivating red\u2014with two wine chillers, and eye-catching tiles painted in a bucolic theme by Pennsylvania-based artisan Tyler Hays. Other highlights include a library with walls of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a stone-tiled mudroom, a custom-outfitted laundry room, a full bath with terra-cotta Tabarka Studio tiles and a heritage-inspired marble sink from Drummonds, and the two-car garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Chief among the private spaces is a main-level owner\u2019s suite with French doors giving way to a patio, ample closet space, an adjoining office ringed with windows, and an elegant bath with a claw-foot tub and a marble shower. An auxiliary owner\u2019s suite enjoys the seclusion of the upper level. It features a tray ceiling, a bank of bright windows, and a delightful bath with a soaking tub tucked into a whimsically tiled alcove. Sharing this floor are three guest suites and a landing with built-in seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Modern relaxation is the order of the day on the lowest level, which features a spacious media and game room accompanied by a casual dining area with built-in shelves and wine storage, a kitchenette, and a well-equipped cocktail bar. A sixth bedroom and bath and a roomy gym are hidden here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The enchanting grounds were designed by beloved local horticulturalist and \u201ctree whisperer\u201d Charlie Marder. Mature cedars, pines, gingkos, crepe myrtles, boxwoods, wisteria, and stone fruit trees create a colorful natural curtain of privacy for a generous patio and a heated gunite swimming pool and spa. Paths meander through the acreage, leading to an enviable outdoor shower and, further afield, a secret serene sauna. A separate adjoining lot with a letter of buildability furthers the options for expansion, the addition of another residence or tennis court, and the creation of a truly impressive compound. The conveniences of East Hampton and Sag Harbor villages are easily accessible, and when the siren song of sunny ocean beaches beckons, they are only moments away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
