Awaiting you is a rarely available opportunity to own a fabulous Alfred A. Scheffer compound, sited on a lushly-landscaped oversized lot with a main cottage, guest cottage, and oversized 2-car garage on Hampton and Maidstone Lanes in Amagansett Dunes! Few homes compare to the location, lifestyle, and architectural prestige of these Cape Cod gems in one of the most sought-after beach communities.
Well-known as “The Dean of East Hampton Architects,” Scheffer masterfully designed this beautiful oasis, one of his original compounds, as a weekend beach retreat inviting comfort and enjoyment. The property is enveloped by enchanted old growth trees, and impressive wisteria trellises for the ultimate setting of privacy and serenity. The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom main cottage is light and bright with an informal ease that feels right at home amidst the property’s prime position nestled within the Dunes.
Inside a story of relaxed coastal luxury unfolds. Exposed vaulted and beamed ceilings, walls of picture windows, and intimate spaces to unwind define the interiors with an open, effortless feel. In the jewel box living space, a stately fireplace anchors the room met by natural wood paneling, sun-drenched sitting areas, and casual dining. Nearby, a lovingly maintained bright galley kitchen keeps the chef organized with easy access outdoors.
Nothing is more inviting however than alfresco dining and entertaining beneath the covered pergola patio while savoring the trademark ocean breezes. The bonus guest cottage is equally lovely, affording ample space for an art studio, home office, and cozy quarters for extended-stay guests.
Amagansett is regarded as a quaint, historic hamlet of East Hampton and is known for its natural beauty, pristine sand beaches and down-to-earth appeal. Living here is further enhanced by the exceptional ocean-side experience and outdoor pleasures of clamming, golfing, biking, and surfing right outside your door. Amagansett also boasts a lovely village square with shopping, art galleries, coffee shops and great restaurants. It is home to the world-famous hot spot Stephen’s Talkhouse, where you might just catch locals, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett or Jon Bon Jovi jamming among so many other talented artists. For the epitome of refined living, these beach cottages are idyllic, offering an incredible retreat and piece of Hamptons history!
