Bright interiors, beachfront property, Hamptons zip code, and for sale N O W! Stumbled on this Southampton estate on my low-key Sunday afternoon and Had to share. BFF AM has a home in the Hamptons which I love and will visit for as many years as she let’s me claim that adorable guest bedroom…but if I’m ever in a place to buy my own home in the Hamptons, this one wouldn’t be a bad option right? You know it’s bad when Sotheby’s won’t even list the price…they just say ‘Price on Request’ and you know that’s code for ‘Let’s see how high we can get someone to bid’.
Here’s what Sotheby’s had to say about this 22,000 sq. ft., nearly 4 acre estate:
Regarded by many as the finest oceanfront estate in all of the Hamptons, the iconic “La Dune,” with links to architect Stanford White offers two extraordinary residences on almost four acres, with over 400 ft. of bulkhead beach front, gorgeous hedged lawns, two custom Gunite pools, and sunken all-weather tennis on Gin Lane. Security gates and hedging open to a wide gravel drive, with the main four-story residence rising majestically from its front parking court. Constructed in the early 1900s, the classic shingle-sided presides over rosa rugosa dunes that slope down to the wide sandy beach. A ground floor, brick-floor entry hall with full bath opens the main residence, and a grand staircase rises to the main level with great, living, sun, formal dining, and morning rooms, family kitchen with fireplace, and a sitting room with powder room. The third level features the master wing with sitting room, two over-sized baths, and large dressing room/closet. The top level includes four bedrooms and three baths. Located back at ground level, are a full service kitchen, gym area, laundry facility, and staff suite. The guest residence opens with a long entry hall, off of which are a parlor, great room, and dining room that all open onto a covered deck. Opposite is a library with bath, kitchen, and a guest/staff wing with powder room and two bedroom suites. The second story features four generous guest suites, and the finished lower level includes a billiards and bar room, a gym with steam, sauna and massage room, theater, additional staff suites and laundry. The extensive grounds include two covered pavilions at either end, two swimming pools, and a tennis court.
