Through masterfully executed architecture and exquisite interior design, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty’s latest waterfront listing in Bellport Village ushers in the outdoors.
A flood of natural light brightens the sunroom while providing impeccable bay views.
Welcome to The Point, a Bellport Village estate sprawling with serene living spaces, ultraluxe amenities, and a chic, coastal ambiance that can only be found on the East End. Listed by Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, the waterfront abode’s winding stone driveway opens to over 3 acres of enviable terrain, manicured gardens and, of course, the elegant ranch-style home. “The simplicity of the architecture and how the home is sited on the point makes it a standout from what we typically see on the market,” says listing agent Deborah Pirro. “The reverse gabling along the length of the structure and the simplicity of construction materials enables the residence to rest and appear very organic among the landscape. It is surrounded on two sides by the Great South Bay, which refracts sunlight into the home from sunrise to sunset.”
Inside, five bedrooms and bathrooms are meticulously spread throughout the one-story home, while standout spaces (think a grand living room, sunroom, gym, office and a lavish TV room) effortlessly flow from one room to another. With no detail overlooked, the living room puts a fresh spin on the property’s 1920s architecture through high vaulted ceilings, original beams and paneled archways. As if that’s not enough, the room provides ample room for gathering with a generous fireplace, an array of seating options and bird’s-eye views of the Great South Bay.
Submerged by enviable landscaping and a bouldered sea wall, the home is both posh and private.
Along the south elevation, the sunroom features radiant floor heating and is illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows and a skylight—all overlooking the back lawn and beach. If you wander east, you’ll be greeted by the stunning dining room (complete with built-in window seating along its length), a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen and a cozy breakfast nook serving breathtaking sky and water views.
And for those wondering about the bedrooms, expect nothing short of spectacular. The primary bedroom is a luxurious retreat in its own right, boasting blissful waterfront views; a spacious walk-in closet; and a lustworthy en suite bath filled with an oversize soaker tub, stunning shower and radiant-heat stone flooring. “Beyond its private waterfront location,” adds Pirro, “the simplicity of the architecture, the open yet private spaces within the home and the natural light throughout—even on the cloudiest days—provide this incredible sensation of peace. You truly feel as if you are in another world. Coupled with the property’s amenities, it is a true vacation 365 days a year.”
Flirting with the coastline, this estate proves to be the ultimate outdoor oasis with a secluded lawn, Har-Tru tennis court, grand gunite pool (tucked away by hedges and white picket gates), artistic sculptures and a pristine stretch of sandy beach. At the northern tip of the property, a deep-water dock and outbuildings await, perfect for boating and a bevy of water sports.
The primary bathroom features a soaking tub, shower, radiant-heat stone flooring and more.
And while its bouldered sea wall certainly provides a respite from the Hamptons hustle and bustle, the Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty team assures us that surrounding areas are not to be overlooked. “Bellport Village may not remain a best-kept secret for much longer,” Pirro teases. “The area leading to The Point is truly an enchanting little village, timeless yet offering today’s wish list of necessities: shopping, dining, the arts, a golf and tennis club, and the ferry to Bellport Village’s Ho-Hum ocean beach.” $16.5 million, 16 Point Road, Bellport Village, 516.637.5786,[email protected]
