Hanging on at the very end of the East End, Montauk has long been a locale that attracted high-profile figures. Maybe it’s the area’s remote location, rugged coastal landscape, or exclusive social scene that lured big names like Andy Warhol, Dick Cavett, and playwright Edward Albee to establish residences here during their lifetimes. A Montauk home close to the water just listed for $7.495 million and it has just the right allure to reel in another celebrity buyer. Delivering relaxed luxury that doesn’t scream but coolly whispers, the wood-clad pad easily catches the eye.
Listed with Jenny Landey and Rylan Jacka of Sotheby’s International Realty, this property just minutes from the beach by foot is being touted as the “Montauk Modern Tree House”. And, it’s easy to see why. While ocean views are blissfully in sight from the open spaces with ample floor-to-ceiling glass, it has a wood exterior that blends in with the trees around it. Not to mention, the cover of leafy foliage gives the 4,000-square-foot haven plenty of privacy.
Built in 1980, it’s clear the home has seen a renovation or two to give it a laidback, fashionable aesthetic that suavely embraces Montauk’s vibe. The kitchen, with a fluted island and textured blue tiles, is especially a bright spot for those who crave contemporary yet original interiors.
Not too big, not too small—this luxury listing has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. Visitors can stay with ease, but it won’t get overcrowded. When entertaining, the rooftop deck or tree-enclosed pool both offer great destinations for lounging and unwinding far from prying eyes.
For those with the cash to spend, January is the right time to secure an East End home. Could this be someone’s “new year, new me” home sweet home?
