In the heart of Southampton’s Art Village enclave, 9 Briar Lane presents a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury. Originally designed by architect Stanford White in 1910, this shingle-style residence harkens back to the area’s turn-of-the-century “artist colony” era largely funded by NYC high society, imbuing the property with a distinct character that has been carefully preserved.
“This home comes with a rich history,” says the listing agent, Adam Hofer. “It exemplifies a traditional Hamptons estate look and feel. The house is rich in architectural details, but it has also been renovated and updated for today’s modern buyer without losing the charm.”
Tucked behind gates and bordered by lush hedges, the estate spans two beautifully landscaped acres while being minutes from Southampton’s beaches and vibrant Main Street. With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, the home features five bedrooms and five full bathrooms. It boasts high ceilings, grand rooms, and original details. Every corner echoes the refined craftsmanship of the era, from intricate woodwork to the classic destinations for entertaining.
The property underwent a recent renovation in 2021 that ensures modern comfort and a crisp, bright appeal. With the new changes, the house exudes livability and even hints of playfulness with pops of blue nodding to its position near the coast. Step outside and the experience extends to a sunlit backyard with a heated pool, spa, covered porch, and lawn providing space for a potential pool house or tennis court.
Art Village was founded in the early 20th century as a creative enclave, and this home remains one of its architectural treasures. As Hofer notes, “This house presents itself as an amazing opportunity to own a substantial home and property and still be very close to ocean beaches and Southampton village — a rare combination at this price point.”
