    Top-of-the-line appliancesDirect private water accessBreathtaking sunsets year-roundExpansive rear deckWalk-in closetQuiet sitting area
    Montauk waterfront living at its finest, offering approximately 110A± feet of private waterfront and a rare opportunity to own approximately 3/4 of an acre of Lake Montauk itself, capturing breathtaking sunsets year-round. Positioned on one of the highest lots on East Lake, this .70-acre property presents a unique opportunity with room to expand, add a pool, and further enhance the already exceptional setting. The lake itself features over 6ft. of depth, placing it among the deepest areas, with the potential to add a mooring and enjoy seamless boating access to the Montauk Inlet and open ocean. Spanning approximately 2,448 square feet, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is thoughtfully designed to maximize its surroundings, capturing sweeping water views throughout while filling the interiors with natural light. Just 0.2 miles from Montauk Lake Club, the location offers both privacy and proximity. Upon entry, the main level immediately opens to panoramic water vistas, with sunlight pouring through sliding glass doors that lead to an expansive rear deck. The living room, anchored by a fireplace, flows effortlessly into an open kitchen with countertop seating and top-of-the-line appliances, alongside a dining area that connects directly to the outdoors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience overlooking the water. A quiet sitting area provides an additional space to unwind, while the primary suite is privately positioned on this level, offering exceptional water views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub, all oriented toward the water. The lower level includes two guest bedrooms, enhanced by a pocket door for added privacy, a full bathroom, and a dedicated office, all with direct access to the landscaped grounds. Completing this level is an indoor Endless Pool, extending the usability of the home year-round. The grounds are equally compelling, featuring direct private water access, multiple areas to take in both sunrise mornings and sunset evenings, and a detached garage with a connected greenhouse designed with dual garage-style doors, allowing full access and flow between both spaces. A rare offering, this property embodies the essence of Montauk waterfront living, where elevation, light, privacy, and setting come together effortlessly.Some images have been digitally altered.
