Georgian Grandeur
August 11, 2011
Resting on 1.2 acres on the coveted Highway Behind the Pond, this turn of the century East Hampton estate is just a short walk from the beach and has views of Hook Pond and the Maidstone Club. Formerly the home of Britain’s Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the home’s Georgian-style architecture has been beautifully preserved and the interiors are newly renovated. Fine millwork details, wide-plank wood floors and a clean, modern feel is evident throughout the six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, gourmet kitchen, master wing and guest cottage. The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with gleaming Viking appliances and a spacious island with a wine fridge tucked underneath. The master suite requires its own wing and comprises a fireplace (one of four in the home), private office, spa bath, powder room, pond-view balcony and gym. Outside these lavish walls you’ll find lush, rolling greens, a pool area and outdoor living room appointed with pillowy white couches, a fireplace, dining area and barbecue grill. With options such as these, deciding whether to spend the evening indoors or alfresco could be quite the task. Listed at $18.5 million by Michael Schultz and Susan Ryan, The Corcoran Group, 245-3343, Easthampton; corcoran.com
