COVER FEATURE
ere are extra rooms that await discovery in
addition to a completely outfitted guesthouse,
sunken Deco Turf tennis court with lattice
covered viewing area, and custom Gunite
pool with an oversized spa, as well as a sunken
sitting area with a fire pit that juts out in a
most interesting way into the pool itself.
e manicured meticulously landscaped space,
bordered by a traditional privet hedge, frames
the 60-foot custom pool. A veritable tapestry
of garden beds and open lawn lead to the
tennis area that is additionally complemented
by a sun pavilion. e mature, specimen-trees
around the periphery maintain privacy as well
as bountiful views of nature for this sanctuary
of a home. e grounds include automated
security gates that open to reveal a large motor
court with garage space for three or more
vehicles.
Wide, shady porches encourage lazy afternoons
in rocking chairs perhaps staring out to
ocean, pool, or grounds. Casting a spell of
enchantment between the classic and modern
necessities, the talented builder connected each
to each and quite naturally, this becomes the
sincerest form of flattery to those builders of
old manor homes; perhaps the past does belong
to the present, after all. Undeniable dignity is
maintained, albeit in the proximity of what we
today consider a world-class resort area in the
Hamptons.
