As you cross the small bridge over Sagg Pond, you enter into the timeless world of Sagaponack. Not far down the lane, and set across from a 30-acre reserve, this gracious home retains all the character and charm of old Sagaponack. It's not your cookie cutter McMansion, typical of new construction in recent years.The living room, originally a boathouse circa 1900, has beamed cathedral 14 foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead to a delightful screen porch, which faces a large lawn surrounded by 15-foot privets. Two wings were added in 2005. The west wing has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths downstairs, and a master suite with a sitting room upstairs. The east wing has a dining room with stonewalls, a large chef's kitchen with a separate pantry and laundry room. The kitchen has a 10-burner Wolf range with a double oven, large Sub-Zero refrigerator, a wine cooler, dishwasher and a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs is a large bedroom, full bath and a media room. Mature hydrangeas and rhododendrons surround the property. There is a 16-by-50-foot saltwater pool, a standby generator, 4-zone HVAC system and radiant heated floors in the kitchen. There are 2 parking areas, 1 for guests and 1 for family. A historic "Foster"cottage in the backyard, now used for storage, could be converted to a studio or a playhouse. The house is set on a very private and lush .924 acres. It has a total of 5,112 square feet, but feels much more cozy.The house with 9 foot ceilings in most rooms and custom doors of 8 foot height is only .25 of a mile (as the crow flies) from the ocean. There is often a wonderful ocean breeze and the distant sound of the surf. It is only .8 of a mile to Sagg Main Beach. If you are looking for something original, authentic, unique and charming in the Hamptons, this is your house!
