83 Sandpiper Ln, Bridgehampton, NY 11932

On a quiet lane in one of Bridgehampton South's most desirable beach neighborhoods, this Richard Gluckman-designed modern combines impressive architecture with an easy Hamptons way of living. Set on a beautifully landscaped, south-facing acre just a block and a half from the ocean, the house is seriously stylish and equally comfortable. Clad in Alaskan yellow cedar, the home features a translucent channel-glass wall that filters soft light into the interiors. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows across the rear of the house and thoughtfully placed skylights bring in natural light throughout the day. The main living and dining spaces are open and beautifully proportioned, with white oak floors and a soaring oak ceiling adding warmth to the modern interiors. A Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau and Bosch appliances is seamlessly integrated into the living space. Ample room for art is fitting, given Gluckman's reputation as one of the foremost architects of museum and gallery spaces. With four bedrooms and four and a half baths, the house is intimate rather than oversized, with every space considered. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a series of terraces leading to a rooftop deck with ocean views. An office/den off the primary offers a private place to work or relax. Outside, the heated gunite pool, outdoor shower, covered decks and landscaped grounds feel like a natural extension of the house. 83 Sandpiper Lane has the clarity of a truly architect-designed home without ever feeling precious. Distinctive, relaxed and exceptionally close to the beach, it's a rare offering in a location where the ocean is part of everyday life.
