57 Lee Avenue, East Hampton, New York 11937

Seize a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent property on East Hampton’s fabled Lee Avenue. Tucked away amidst a collection of prestigious homes in the heart of the Village Estate Section, this prized location offers easy access to two world-class beaches while sitting just moments from the bustle of Main Street. This classic cottage has been expanded and modernized, but never at the expense of its century-old charm. The long flag drive stretches from the southern side of the street and is bounded by mature landscaping, affording the .63+/- acre property a level of privacy usually reserved for much larger parcels. Beyond the gate, the grounds reveal themselves, opening to a large swath of flat lawn bordered by bountiful plantings. The walkway winds to the front door and enters into a bright, airy living space centered around a large wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent dining area and eat-in kitchen enjoy vaulted ceilings and are flooded with natural light, while a charming sunroom sits at the rear of the home, taking advantage of the southern exposure. The home’s five bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully spaced from one another. The first-floor primary suite features a sitting area and French doors that lead out to the pool patio, while upstairs, the junior primary occupies its own private wing of the second floor. Out back, a bluestone patio lies beneath a pergola draped in wisteria - the perfect shady escape on a summer afternoon. The heated pool sits centered within its own patio, flanked by lush garden beds that separate it from the rest of the rear yard. Enjoy this special sanctuary just as it is, re-envision and expand it, or start from scratch on this premier parcel - there are no wrong answers on Lee Avenue.
