Architecture Wednesday: Two Holes of Water Road Compound

This East Hampton Compound sits at the end of a white pebble driveway amid beautifully manicured grounds where a covered porch opens to a gracious foyer, introducing interiors that balance sophistication with exceptional craftsmanship. An additional adjoining lot with a letter of buildability can support a substantial home, pool, tennis, and garage, completing this four-acre compound situated between East Hampton and Sag Harbor Villages and just moments from beautiful ocean beaches.

The home features six Bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread out over 5,300 square feet. The main level features a spacious living room with two French doors, a marble-mantel wood-burning fireplace, and an effortless sense of light and scale. The eat-in chef's kitchen by showcases high end appliances, a generous center island with seating, and a walk-in butler's pantry with two wine cellars … one can never have enough wine … and a pantry painted head-to-toe in carmine red.

The dining room, with arched doorways, hand-painted walls and ceilings, and an abundance of windows and French doors, is just off the kitchen while the library is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves providing a sophisticated, cozy retreat. The first-floor primary suite features French doors opening to a private patio, beamed ceilings, built-in closets, a glass-enclosed office, and an elegant bath with a pedestal tub and marble shower.

Additional highlights on this level include a stone-tiled mudroom connecting to the two-car garage, a custom laundry room, and a full bath with custom tiles and a marble sink. A spindle staircase leads to the second floor, which offers a second primary suite with beamed tray ceilings, six windows, and an en suite bath with an alcove soaking tub and custom vanity. Three additional en suite guest rooms and a landing area with built-in seating complete this level.

The 2,200 square foot basement level continues the home's sense of luxury with a large media room, dining area lined with bookshelves, kitchenette with stone counters, and a second laundry room. A sixth bedroom, seventh bathroom, gym, custom built-in seating, and a linear wet bar complete the space.

The landscape surrounds the property in natural beauty with hundreds of trees, including 30-foot Lebanese cedars, Asian pines, and gingkoes. A heated Gunite pool and spa are bordered by crepe myrtles, boxwoods, wisteria, and stone fruit trees and the patio offers multiple areas for entertaining, while a hidden path leads to an outdoor shower and a separate outbuilding housing a large sauna.

All for just a smidge under ten million!
