Tour a Minimalist Modern Sagaponack Home

Ross Bleckner stands outside the airy studio he shares with painter/designer Eric Freeman.

His dreamy canvases line the walls of their workspace, which is tucked away in a corner of the five-acre property.

Freeman designed the main stairway, which is made from reclaimed wood. Photographs of Truman Capote, the house’s former owner, sit below, flanking a work by Bill Armstrong.

Akari pendant lamps by Isamu Noguchi hang above the lofty living room, where a Christian Liaigre mirror reflects abundant light. The sofa is from Restoration Hardware; the vintage leather chairs are by Poul Kjaerholm.

A pendant lamp from Tech Lighting hangs above a BDDW table and chairs in the dining room; the porcelain bowl is by Muriel Grateau.

The walnut island and cabinetry in the kitchen were custom designed by Bakes and Company. The mirror is from BDDW

The bed, runner, and night tables in Freeman’s first-floor bedroom are by BDDW; the birch lamp is from Santa & Cole.

The armchair is from Mecox. His en suite bath includes a Wetstyle tub and Watermark fixtures.

The tub in the adjoining bath is by Boffi. Bleckner’s bedroom features a peekaboo view of the ocean and rustic shelves made from reclaimed wood.

When rebuilding the house, Freeman and Bleckner aimed for a more “unified” year-round structure by enclosing two porches and adding a bedroom suite, as well as solar and geothermal heating and cooling systems.

Though he has no formal training, Eric Freeman designed the exterior and interiors himself.
