Summer days south of the highway may have come to a close for 2023, but fall is still just as beautiful in the Hamptons. A new listing with historic prestige has made its way to the market in time to make the most of the season. But, it is for an elite pool of buyers as it’s asking just under $17 million.
Dressed in quintessential shingle style, the home dubbed ‘Winnecoma’ sits on almost three acres with the nearby beach always beckoning. It was one of Sagaponack’s first summer residences, designed in 1899 by acclaimed Manhattan architect James E. Ware & Sons. Today, there is certainly a turn-of-the-century, ‘old money’ feel throughout.
Stepping from the covered porch into the foyer, navy and white checkered floors are anchored around the original wood-burning fireplace. Moving through the rest of the main house, there are many pretty corners and spacious rooms to be enjoyed. Whether you’re into entertaining guests or curling up in the sunroom with a good book, it’s easy to find space to do both. A total of 7,400 square feet come together between the main house, guest house and carriage house, creating an ultimate family compound. Nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms are soaked in light, where character details like lattice windows and original shutters carry throughout.
When the warmer weather comes out, a new owner can definitely maximize the outdoor potential. With an additional acre and a half of unused space, someone can opt to add a tennis court, pool, or impressive gardens.
Marilyn Clark and Ginger Thoerner of Sotheby’s International Realy share the listing.
