7 Sherrill Rd, East Hampton, NY 11937

There are Hamptons houses that require a plan.And then there is 7 Sherrill Road.Set in East Hampton Village, almost directly opposite the train station, this is the rare house that makes a different proposition: come out, get off the train and start your weekend.Hampton Chutney, Zakura, Villa Italian Specialties and The Sweet Spot are practically neighbors. Newtown Lane and Main Street are just beyond. The Jitney is close by. The beach is a bike ride away. You could arrive from Manhattan with an overnight bag and barely think about a car.The surprise is how much house comes with that convenience. There are four bedrooms, two and a half baths and approximately 2,500 square feet, including a finished lower level with room for guests, family and movie nights. The main floor is open and easy, with kitchen, dining and living spaces designed for the way a weekend house actually gets used.French doors on the ground floor open directly to greenery and a small garden, creating an easy connection between the house and outdoors. There is room for morning coffee, an afternoon with a book or drinks before dinner — a little green retreat in the middle of the Village.It is a particularly appealing combination: the ease and immediacy of a pied-à-terre, with the space and comfort of a real house.Think of it as a Hamptons pied-à-terre — only one where everyone gets a bedroom.
