This
exquisite 5BR, 5.5bth modern home on prestigious Further Lane
in East Hampton takes waterfront living to a whole new level.
Nearly every room in the recently redone, 4,700sf home boasts
magnificent Atlantic views. The tropically-inspired, much-coveted
property has been featured in House & Garden. A long private
driveway takes you through lushly treed grounds which open
out to your own secluded Shangri-la. In fact, says Sotheby’s
listing agent Marie Zazzi, the outdoor space is “like
a Caribbean resort… The surroundings are as stunning
as the house itself!” An outdoor living room with fireplace
overlooks the negative-edge pool (facing the sea), with enough
seating to throw completely fabulous summer soirées.
The luscious feasts you’ll share, inspired by the spectacular
gourmet kitchen (complete with Viking appliances), can be
easily worked off in the fully equipped, high-tech indoor
gym. Cutting-edge smart-house technology throughout means
lights, thermostats, the pool, and even music, can all be
controlled with the flick of a switch.
$18 million.

MINDING
YOUR MANOR
When
does a lovely old summer cottage become a grand English manor?
When the top-drawer team of Hollenbeck and Smith Architects
and interior designer Alexander Baer get into the act. They
have transformed this original East Hampton home into a 5BR,
5.5bth paradise that combines all the old-world charms with
modern-day amenities. The kitchen/den, in addition to having
a fireplace, boasts sleek stainless-steel appliances, granite
countertops and white bead-board cabinets. The living room
is dazzling, with double-height windows and an antique Murano
chandelier suspended from the beamed, 35ft peaked ceiling.
French doors on one side lead from both living room and kitchen
to a 46ft-long shingled, arched mahogany porch. Upstairs,
the master bedroom also has beamed ceilings, a fireplace,
and a porch with a beautiful view of the sweeping landscaped
lawn and pool. All this—complete with the most tasteful
finishes and furniture—is priced at $8.5 million.

FAMILY
STYLE
This
wonderful shingled home in Amagansett is one of those rare places
that’s brilliantly set-up to accommodate a big, noisy
family. Aside from the fact that it’s an easy walk to
the beach, its interior (with 4 BRs and 4.5 bths) has 4,000
sf of beautifully laid-out space. “The flowing floor plan
is such that each room on the main level melts into the next,”
says Kim Hovey, listing agent for the property and president
of The Lamb Agency. The kitchen looks over the breakfast room,
which is right next to the family room with a fireplace…
A great room with coffered ceilings leads to a mahogany screened
porch. The inviting gourmet kitchen, with marble countertops
and backsplashes, features two Bosch dishwashers and two sinks.
Making it all the more irresistible, the heated gunite pool
with pergola, terrace and brick fireplace, promises seasons
of pleasure for years to come. $3.65 million.

“It
seems that buyers are waiting a little longer to see if prices are
going to come down,” says Donna Oplinger, associate broker
for Allan Schneider Associates. “The Hamptons are still a
healthy market, but buyers are no longer offering asking price or
more. We anticipate that sellers will have to put appropriate prices
on their homes—and be willing to negotiate.” |
