This custom-built post-and-beam home offers 5,187 +/- SF of living space across three levels. High-end finishes, spacious rooms, a resort-style backyard, and a convenient location, combined with a competitive price, make this property a rare opportunity. Finished in June 2024 and barely lived in, this home stands out from most new construction thanks to upgrades like window treatments, specimen landscaping, custom built-ins, a whole-home generator, and solar power. When you enter the graciously sized foyer, you are immediately struck by the light radiating throughout the house from its oversized windows and soaring two-story living room. The imported Douglas Fir Beams are spectacular and add an authentic modern barn feel. The stunning, expansive kitchen features ample custom cabinetry, sleek quartz counters, a professional 6-burner Natural Gas Wolf range, Miele appliances, and a wine fridge. Gather around the center island or in the great-room-style seating area, where everyone can spend time with the chef. This home has four large bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a dining room, a spacious first-floor primary suite (about 630 +/- SF), a large second-floor primary suite, several walk-in closets, a loft office, and a finished lower level with a full bath. The main floor also has a combined mudroom and laundry room. The two-car garage can be used as is or easily converted into a single garage and a pool cabana with a few small changes. The finished lower level features a full bath and versatile spaces, offering the potential for a fifth and sixth bedroom. With eight-and-a-half-foot ceilings, the area feels just as comfortable and inviting as the main living spaces. Impeccable landscaping enhances the entire property. The backyard is a true oasis, featuring a heated 20'x40' saltwater gunite pool, generous seating and lounging areas, a sweeping lawn, vibrant shrubs, and flowering plants. Every day here feels like a private retreat. Additional highlights include energy-efficient solar panels, a whole-home Generac generator, a comprehensive security system with cameras, full-property irrigation, and a flourishing raised garden currently producing tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupes, and herbs. Crafted by Gerard Mingino in partnership with Yankee Barn Homes, this residence showcases exceptional structural integrity and meticulous attention to detail. It was never a spec build, and the quality is unmistakable. Situated South of the Highway, this home is just three miles from Southampton Village, with its charming shops, restaurants, and the world-famous Cooper's Beach. Nestled in a peaceful, accessible neighborhood, it is ideal for dog owners, joggers, cyclists, and anyone who enjoys a stroll and the unique light that has inspired artists for generations. As a bonus, Shinnecock Bay is moments away.
