In the Southampton Historic District, a storied home is on the market with charm, amenities, lush landscaping, the works. The circa-1923 construction underwent a handsome renovation in 2012 and sits behind a polished row of hedges and a sleek wrought iron gate. Once past these impeccable promisers of privacy, the half-acre lot boasts nothing but spaciousness and beauty. Asking $7.1 million, the Southampton haven is a swanky Hamptons retreat.
A marriage of historic sensibilities and modern ease creates an atmosphere of classic Hamptons charm without sacrificing comfort. From the dark-washed cedar shingles and white trim outside to the whimsical use of patterns inside, light-hearted elegance is everywhere.
Spread across three levels, the main house offers six bedrooms and five full bathrooms. If that still isn’t enough space for summer visitors, additional accommodations lie across the gravel driveway in the guest/pool house. With its vaulted ceilings and bright spaces, this structure could just as easily make a studio or office when not in use for summer fun.
The property is fully outfitted for entertaining, though. The gourmet kitchen with Caesarstone countertops, wine room, and wet bar seem ripped from an entertainer’s most vivid dreams. The saltwater pool ensures an easy time in the water when the beach feels too far away, and the home even has two outdoor showers for rinsing off.
Matt Breitenbach and Mollie Scruggs of Compass hold the listing at 263 Little Plains Road.
