20 Hook Pond Lane, East Hampton, NY | Agent: Debbie Brennaman Team
Down a private lane in the Hook Pond estate area in the heart of East Hampton village is a new home that masterfully blends a Hamptons traditional with modern sensibilities. Designed and built by Abstract Builders, LLC, the 10,000 sq ft ( on 3 levels) home is perfectly sited on this 1.6-acre lot to take full advantage of the sweeping upper floor views of Hook Pond and the Atlantic Ocean. Open and light-filled interiors are enhanced by white oak floors and the expansive use of glass-including panoramic glass sliding doors imported from Greece-allowing for seamless transitions between indoors and out. The main entrance to the home is through a sleek industrial, steel-and-glass wall that opens to a double-height entry with an adjoining oak-paneled library/den. But the hub of any home today is the kitchen/living area. Here, an open kitchen with a dramatic island of a single slab of luminous Zimbabwe granite-flows into a dining area and generous gathering room with a glamorous smoked-mirrored wet bar, all open to the outside through glass door walls. On the other side of the shared fireplace is a more intimate, formal living room. A junior master suite with direct access to the outside completes the first floor. Ascend the gracious stairway, or take the elevator, to the second floor and to the master bedroom which includes two full baths (one with a soaking tub and vanity), a windowed closet room with custom high-gloss enamel cabinetry with inset lighting, a fireplace of Arabescato marble (which matches the marble in the bathrooms), plus its very own secluded deck where you can sip your coffee and watch the swans glide on Hook Pond. Time to sit back and enjoy the view and listen to the sound of the ocean.

236 Quimby Lane, Bridgehampton, NY 11932 | Agent: Deborah Srb
A rare opportunity to own waterfront on prestigious Quimby Lane, this just shy of 4-acre property with 300' of frontage has had only 2 owners since 1917. This spectacular offering on Sagg Pond has commanding 180-degree views north to the bridge and to the south with views of the sparkling ocean very close by. A small sandy beach presents itself according to the water level, but there is no history of flooding as it sits in the best non-flood zone, out of harm's way. The Nantucket-style traditional with pool, tennis, 5 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and 2 half baths, boasts grand salon-style entertaining rooms which catered to the many important friends of the present owner, a world-famous ballerina who debuted with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as a young girl. Though not recently updated, the opportunity to renovate or start afresh are both options for this expansive one of a kind property that offers privacy and a chance to create an exciting estate-like setting nestled among famous neighbors who also crave all the fun waterfront activities enjoyed on this equally famous pond. Boat to the beach, paddle board, sail, kayak or just soak up the beautiful light reflected from all the water around you!
