Inside a Sleek Hamptons New Build on 4.8 Acres that You Can Still Customize

Lying just beyond the bustle of New York City, the charming Long Island enclave of Sag Harbor has enjoyed a reputation as "the un-Hamptons" by retaining its small-town character, or as Town & Country once put it, "a real place where people live and work not just in the summer months."

It's this idyllic, down-to-earth seaside setting where a modern new construction masterpiece has recently sprung up. Listed for $7,495,000 by Louis Bougatsos, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist with Coldwell Banker Reliable Real Estate in Southampton, the move-in-ready residence promises "the epitome of luxury living with 4.8 acres of privacy," says Bougatsos.

Standing at over 8,600 square feet, the residence offers a contemporary twist on New England style. An elegant foyer introduces the home's striking open floor plan, perfect for entertaining guests and hosting lavish gatherings. A total of eight bedrooms, seven full baths, and three half baths are more than suitable for accommodating family members and visitors. Light-filled, expansive spaces feel gallery-like – a blank canvas for displaying art.

In the designer kitchen, slatted-wood-lined walls, timeless white cabinetry, dual sinks, and a large center island with counter seating set a casual yet sophisticated tone.

The kitchen overlooks the backyard and unfolds into a bar/lounge area, great room, living room, and dining room.

These entertaining spaces flow seamlessly into each other and maintain a calming visual connection to the outdoors. In the case of the great room, wide-open glass doors slide open to the backyard and pool area. "It's the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living," says Bougatsos. "You'll relish the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors all year round."

A theater, recreation room, and gym complete the room offerings in this thoughtfully designed sanctuary.

Beyond the house itself, there are extensive covered patios, an outdoor fireplace, a saltwater Gunite pool, and spa – perfect for entertaining outdoors in a private, tree-lined ambiance.

A unique feature of the property, shares Bougatsos, is that early homebuyers still have an opportunity to customize it to their lifestyle so they can curate "a truly one-of-a-kind living experience" in the Hamptons.
