17 Island Rd, East Hampton, NY 11937

Perched above the shoreline with sweeping panoramic views of Three Mile Harbor, this exceptional waterfront retreat occupies one of East Hampton's most coveted settings, one of the rare few where both breathtaking sunrises and unforgettable sunsets can be enjoyed from the same property. Set on 1.4 acres with approximately 110 feet of private beach frontage and just a couple hundred feet from the open harbor, the property offers an extraordinary combination of waterfront living, elevated positioning, and commanding, uninterrupted water views. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable surroundings, the approximately 2,300-square-foot home is filled with natural light through expansive windows that frame the harbor, a tranquil freshwater pond, and the abundant coastal wildlife. Exposed beams, a welcoming brick forecourt, multiple waterside decks, and a wood-burning brick fireplace create an atmosphere of timeless warmth and understated elegance. The residence includes four bedrooms and three full baths. On the first level, two guest bedrooms, a full bath, a spacious living room with fireplace, and a kitchen with adjoining dining area. Upstairs, nearly every room enjoys spectacular water views. The serene primary suite opens to an expansive harbor facing deck and features a spa-inspired bath with a luxurious steam shower. An additional guest bedroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Harbor and full bath complete the second floor. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Expansive decks invite dining, entertaining, or quiet moments overlooking the harbor, while a scenic path leads to a wide sandy beach. A bulkheaded shoreline provides direct boating access, and the nearby community day dock makes launching kayaks, paddleboards, and small boats effortless. Whether your passion is boating, swimming, fishing, clamming, paddleboarding, bird-watching, or simply relaxing by the water, this property offers an exceptional year-round waterfront lifestyle. Located within the coveted Hampton Waters Association, residents enjoy deeded rights of way to Three Mile Harbor, access to a community day dock, and exclusive use of a private white-sand cove, an idyllic setting for watching the sunrise, gathering with neighbors at sunset, or enjoying summer fireworks reflected across the harbor. An added distinction is the attached expansive two-story studio space, with two sets of French doors that offer exceptional potential for future customization. Despite its peaceful, nature-filled setting, the property is just six minutes from the boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and cultural attractions of East Hampton Village offering the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and refined coastal living. A truly rare offering where exceptional waterfront, extraordinary views, and an unparalleled lifestyle come together in one of East Hampton's most sought-after harborfront locations.
