Shinnecock Hills .89 Ac South Facing Ranch Bay Views, E/O Canal
Sited on a high, private 0.89-acre hillside, this sprawling 2,540-square-foot coastal residence flawlessly blends structural innovation with effortless living. Professionally engineered to adapt to the natural topography of the hill, this estate features a recessed main entrance, flowing seamlessly into 2540 sq ft of single-level living space with dual-wing privacy. Just one block from deeded private beach access, this property perfectly positions you to enjoy the premier dining, shopping, ocean beaches, golf, and marinas of both Southampton and Hampton Bays. The home was remodeled and mechanically updated between 2000-2006, a new kitchen installed in 2006, new roof 2014, new HVAC 2017 and new pool mechanicals in 2024.
By utilizing the natural slope of the land, the home's design incorporates a lower-level oversized 2-car garage and walkout basement, both leading out to a spacious paved circular driveway with room for additional parking. This brilliant layout elevates the primary living tier and the owner's suite with private terrace entirely above the landscape, maximizing your privacy and unlocking water vistas that typically require a second-story to achieve. After you enter the house there are no main staircases to navigate daily to use all 2,540 sq feet of the main living space. The private guest wing is situated on the completely opposite side of the home. This architectural separation ensures amazing acoustic and physical privacy for visitors or extended family, allowing guests to enjoy the house on their own schedule without disturbing the primary suite.
At the heart of the residence sits a centralized flow-through kitchen and a dining area. This culinary space serves as a junction for entertaining while acting as privacy barrier, strategically separating the primary suite and living-room from the guest wing. The house features a living room with natural-stone fireplace and picture window, a light and bright sunroom, two full baths on main level, central air, dual source heating, crown moldings and hardwood floors. The walkout lower level has a full bathroom, laundry area and there is a separate workshop/storage space adjacent to the garage.
Step out into a gently sloping backyard oasis offering a sun-drenched deck with a cabana with half-bath, next to an oversized custom heated salt water pool with patio, capturing cool bay breezes and views of watercraft cruising the bay. Enjoy all day sunlight in an estate-like setting perfect for large-scale summer gatherings, al fresco dining, or quiet morning coffee next to the custom stone waterfall. The expansive backyard is enclosed by a fully fenced and a cleverly curated botanical border offering a perpetual four-season privacy sanctuary. A lush combination of mature evergreens, towering natural pines and dense native vegetation creates an all-season living privacy wall, carefully designed around the topography. This natural screen creatively shields the pool deck entertainment area from neighboring views while intentionally preserving the all-season bay vistas from the entire resort-style pool area.
Nestled within a serene and private neighborhood, this property promises a tranquil living experience!
