163 Atlantic Avenue, East Hampton (Amagansett), NY, 11930 | $4,995,000

Nestled only a simply moment from the Atlantic Ocean, amidst the serene Amagansett Dunes, stands a Modern Beach Cottage that is the epitome of coastal elegance and contemporary luxury. Crafted by the renowned architect Francois de Menil, whose design prowess has garnered accolades, this home is a testament to turnkey perfection. It offers a rare chance to inhabit the dunes with unparalleled style, comfort, and luxury. In addition to everything that makes this property so special, it has now been granted approval for a swimming pool. This feat took the current owners nearly two years and means that after purchasing the property the new owners will have an option to install an 8' by 30' gunite saltwater pool. In a locale where such approvals are notoriously difficult to secure, this pre-approved amenity is a significant boon, potentially sparing years of bureaucratic navigation for the new owner. Drawing inspiration from its coastal environs and flanked by protected lands on three sides, this refined abode is a harmonious blend with nature, fostering an effortless flow between its indoor and outdoor havens. Constructed with integrity, utilizing reinforced steel, high-density concrete, and Alaskan yellow cedar for its cladding, the home is a fortress of sustainability and comfort. Stainless steel fixtures and eco-friendly materials further enhance its durability and environmental consciousness. The interior of the residence is a celebration of open space and light, featuring a grand room that encompasses a living and dining area, crowned by a chef's kitchen that was meticulously rebuilt in 2023. Expansive 14' south-facing Duratherm sliding doors invite the southern sun, while three cozy bedrooms, two full baths, and a sun-drenched enclosed sunroom complete the intimate quarters. Outside, the property boasts a custom outdoor shower and a sprawling sun deck-both perfect for social gatherings or tranquil solitude in the sea air. The home's luxuries extend to polished Portland cement floors with radiant heating, elegant honed marble vanities, a deep soaking tub, and discreet pocket doors. The bespoke beechwood cabinetry, automated Lutron shades, and floor-to-ceiling natural fiber draperies add a touch of sophistication. Modern conveniences are not overlooked, with a stainless-steel Miele washer and dryer, an eco-friendly coconut fiber water filtration system, a comprehensive alarm system, and a robust 48 KW natural gas generator ensuring uninterrupted comfort. This Modern Beach Cottage is more than a home; it's a sensory experience. The gentle ocean breezes, the rhythmic lull of the waves, and the legendary Hamptons luminance that has stirred the souls of artists for ages-all these elements are seamlessly woven into the fabric of this Amagansett Dunes jewel, making it a living masterpiece that awaits its next discerning steward.
