The Hamptons is widely known for its centuries-old estates and houses, rooted in history and tradition. Lately, gabled roofs and glass walls are a newer take on East End style, and this recently listed modern brings a refreshing twist on classic barn-style elements. Bordered by over 70 acres of preserved farmland and sitting in the heart of Bridgehampton, the home promises peace and privacy, but also some lively surprises.
Built in 2011, the 4,255-square-foot house was designed by KOSA Architects: A firm that often favors modern vernacular style along with traditional regional materials. This vision comes through in the exterior’s vertical wood cladding and clean lines. Stepping inside, a glassy open floor on the main level connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen for suave, 21st-century living.
But, everything isn’t modern, clean, and chill when it comes to the decor choices. The seller’s style brings much of the home’s playful energy, with wallpapers, light fixtures, and furnishings displaying artful, unabashed exuberance. You can see this throughout but there are also more subdued, calming hues. The top floor holds four of the five relaxing bedrooms, including the primary suite, which overlooks the reserve and leads to a swanky private deck. Parallel to the home, a heated gunite pool and pergola complete the luxurious feel.
Priced at just under $8 million, the listing is held by Erica Grossman of Douglas Elliman.
