The Residence

Where Heritage Meets Hamptons Living

Built in 1920 and thoughtfully reimagined, this quintessential Hamptons cottage on East Gate Road offers a rare blend of period charm and contemporary luxury. Step through the screened porch into an expansive den with soaring vaulted ceilings, where an oversized wood-burning fireplace anchors a living space flooded with natural light from skylights and French doors.

The first floor flows effortlessly from a formal dining room with a farmhouse table to a designer kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a center island with bar seating. Upstairs, the primary suite and two additional guest rooms provide serene retreats with curated wallpapers and bespoke furnishings. Outside, a heated gunite pool, stone patio, and charming red pool house set the stage for summer entertaining on nearly half an acre of private, tree-lined grounds.
