The unmistakable fragrance of salt air and expansive water views over Shinnecock Bay, all the way to the ocean, make this newly constructed home a rare find. It is situated on Aqua Drive, a very quiet, little-known street where multi-million dollar homes sit high on a bluff overlooking the sea. Custom designed by Jeffrey Rosen for Yankee Barn Homes and built by the highly regarded Gerard Mingino, this post and beam home is crafted with Douglas fir timbers in a hybrid design that incorporates authentic barn building elements and contemporary details. At nearly 4,700 sq. ft. on three levels, it features five bedrooms, five full and two half baths - ample space for hosting guests or entertaining - as well as access to the bay. On the upper level find an open concept great room that maximizes the water views and integrates the living room with gas fireplace, the large dining area and eat-in chef's kitchen with island seating, Crowne Point custom cabinetry, soapstone and Imperial Danby marble countertops, Viking range and refrigerator, 2 Bosch dishwashers, a microwave drawer and pantry closet. A mahogany deck off the kitchen is equipped with a natural gas line for your outdoor grill. The master suite with its own deck is also on this level, separated from the other bedrooms and affording privacy. In the master bath is an oversized spa shower with multiple shower heads and body sprays. On the first floor is a central family room with wet bar, and three en-suite bedrooms. Outdoors enjoy the heated gunite pool, hot and cold outdoor shower, a south-facing bluestone patio and a covered bluestone patio with ceiling fan. The finished lower level includes a media room, gym, large recreational room, bedroom and full bath. Additional amenities include an elevator serving all levels, a two-car garage, wired for sound and media in all rooms, designer lighting throughout, imported hardware and 7.5 inch French Oak Floors. Located just a few minutes to the heart of Southampton Village yet close enough to the main access road, you will be enjoying cocktails on your deck while other weekenders will be sitting in traffic. Available for two weeks in August 2024. Added bonus paddle boards and kayak are included. RP240541
