Summer is here and, for many, there’s nothing better than spending it in the Hamptons. Buyers in the market for a summer getaway just in time to use it this year may swoon over a charming Southampton home that just listed. It checks off the major boxes: South of the Highway, shingle-style exterior, swimming pool, and close to town.
What’s more, Southampton Village has been home to a variety of people—from celebrities like George Stephanopoulos and Rachael Ray to architects and artists—all while boasting historical properties (like this 200-year-old windmill) and record-breaking real estate (last year, a non-waterfront property went for $70 million). With so many high-profile residents and real estate happenings, there is always something abuzz in the tony town.
This listing, less than a mile to Southampton’s luxury shops and boutiques, is quintessential and timeless. The home’s interiors total 3,000 square feet, including a finished basement. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, there’s ample space for weekend visitors. A back porch overlooking the pool seems like an ideal place to spend sunny afternoons, but the beach is just two miles away.
Airy and bright interiors exude a coastal vibe throughout the circa-1995 home. Angela Boyer-Stump of Sotheby’s International Realty – Bridgehampton Brokerage holds the $6.5 million listing.
