Unmatched privacy and designer style await in this gorgeous eight-bedroom showplace on nearly 8 acres in East Hampton's ultra-desirable Northwest Woods. Masterfully crafted in 2004 by architect Katherine Fee and builder George Lombardi, this expansive 9,112-square-foot home is a beautiful interpretation of traditional shingle style and contemporary elegance. A gracious foyer, flanked by a coat closet and powder room, introduces hardwood floors, tall ceilings and designer lighting. Ahead, extraordinary living spaces feature walls of windows and three fireplaces. Relax in the living room, entertain in the dining room or retreat to the spacious den. Each room opens to the long covered porch where ceiling fans and integrated sound enhance the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. An expansive paved patio is equipped with an authentic brick pizza oven and an outdoor kitchen. Designed by Sweet Bay, the surrounding resort-like grounds are anchored by a 50-foot by 26-foot heated gunite saltwater pool and spa. The adjacent pool house puts a kitchenette, half-bathroom and outdoor shower within easy reach. Improve your swing on the private putting green, and enjoy plenty of room for the addition of a tennis or basketball court. The open chef's kitchen impresses with abundant cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, a breakfast nook and two large islands, one with a breakfast bar. Test your culinary skill with a fleet of upscale stainless steel appliances, including a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, gas cooktop, wall ovens, built-in microwave and wine refrigerator. Beyond the kitchen, a mudroom area offers storage, a half-bathroom and a laundry room. In the main floor's west wing, discover a palatial owner's retreat featuring a sitting room and a king-size bedroom that opens to two patios. Two walk-in closets attend to wardrobe needs, and the en suite bathroom boasts a decadent rain shower, freestanding soaking tub, water closet, double vanity and an adjoining powder room that connects to the den. An adjacent home office completes the level. Head up the front or rear stairs to the second floor, featuring a large upper living room that flows to a wide balcony overlooking the patio below. Two secondary suites surround a sitting room, and a third suite sits across from another large office with a kitchenette and dumbwaiter - the perfect destination for work or study. Two more bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom alongside a playroom. Tons of storage space and a second laundry room add effortless ease. On the finished lower level, you enjoy 10-foot-tall ceilings, a massive rec room with a wet bar and adjacent wine room, plus a large home gym with a sauna and full bathroom. With a private entrance, the bedroom suite on this level is ideal for staff or guests. A long gated drive leads to a circular motor court and three-car attached garage, ensuring plenty of parking for friends and family. This home's numerous upgrades and conveniences include a generator, alarm system, 6-zoned central HVAC and Lutron lighting. The furnishings are available for sale under a separate agreement. Though this secluded and serene compound seems worlds away, it's less than 15 minutes from the amenities and attractions of East Hampton and Sag Harbor.
