Every inch of this East Hampton estate takes full advantage of the sweeping ocean views just steps from the house. “When you enter the home, the first thing you see is the ocean,” says Justin Agnello, real estate salesperson with Douglas Elliman Real Estate in East Hampton. Built in 1970, the home has unobstructed views of the Atlantic and 171 feet of private ocean frontage, while still being protected by the dunes. A tennis court with professional lighting is the only one of its kind in East Hampton due to changes in zoning since its construction. “The ability to have 1.8 acres with a guest house, pool and tennis court in such close proximity to the ocean is incredibly rare,” says Agnello.
A classically coastal shingle exterior and contemporary interiors combine much of what buyers out here are looking for, particularly since the current homeowners made some updates a year ago. Bright interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and dining room and vaulted ceilings ensure the view is always the focal point. On cool days, working fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom provide a place to cozy up. The modern kitchen has a breakfast nook flooded with natural light, and top-of-the-line appliances including a double Thermador refrigerator and freezer.
The primary bedroom also has a full wall of windows looking out over the beach. The home currently has six bedrooms but there are plans in place to expand the current house to have four more ocean-view bedrooms. “The plans have all been done and approved, which makes it easy for a new buyer that would want to take advantage of that potential to expand,” says Agnello.
The community of East Hampton has long been a top destination for its beaches, a vibrant downtown, world-class dining, shopping and cultural institutions, says Agnello. “You really get the best of both worlds,” he adds. “The town of East Hampton and all it has to offer is just a five-minute drive from the house, yet when you come home, you immediately feel the privacy and peacefulness of the location. The house is tucked away down a long driveway, and the beach is also extremely private, so it feels as if you are on the ocean by yourself.”
The entire property is professionally landscaped with mature trees. A heated gunite pool and outdoor jacuzzi are surrounding by patio for lounging with family and friends. A separate guest house has a billiards room and sauna as well as its own private patio. Off the main house, a patio for dining and outdoor entertaining steps down to a lounge deck right off the beach with an outdoor shower to quickly rinse off after a dip in the ocean.
Buyers interested in the property are looking for exclusivity. The ideal buyer, says Agnello, is “someone who wants their own personal oceanfront resort and is going to live here and enjoy it for years and years, then pass it down generationally through their family. There is a reason that properties like this don’t come on the market often. People cherish them and hold onto them for so long because they are truly one-of-a-kind.”
