Water Mill Modern With Pool & Tennis

Welcome ... this Midcentury-Modern style home can now be yours. Renovated in 2010, the residence sits on a deep .97 acre lot in a desirable south of the highway location. The power of the interior space, which features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, is intensified by soaring 15-foot ceilings in the living room and dining area that are enhanced by huge sliding glass doors (and 4-foot-high transom windows) that recall the indoor-outdoor relationship of midcentury Modernist California houses. The design vernacular’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor living is particularly well-suited to the summertime climate in the Hamptons. The open kitchen with its tiered center island and stainless appliances joins the dining/living area that look out to rear yard’s heated Gunite pool and all-weather tennis court. The large primary bedroom suite is graced by a floor-to-ceiling corner window and large sliding glass doors that are designed to let the outdoors in. Mature plantings, specimen trees and lush landscaping surround the pool and tennis court on this generous, shy acre property. This home also has an attached 2-car garage and a partially finished lower level. All of this just minutes to ocean beaches and in easy reach of Southampton Village and Bridgehampton.

The history of the Water Mill area begins with Edward Howell who came to Southampton, Long Island in 1640 with English colonists from Lynn, Massachusetts. Howell had owned a water mill on a pond in Lynn so it was not surprising that he settled on a 100-acre pond three miles from Southampton for his new venture. Howell – the wealthiest citizen of the new colony and its magistrate – got the town to give him 40 acres on the pond and to provide labor and money to support his project. The mill was built and millstones hewn from two boulders found in the moraine north of the site. Oral history places this first mill, which was probably grinding by 1644, several hundred yards north of its current site on Mill Creek.

Southampton Town is dedicated to its culture and history and various venues present a varied mix of cultural events year-round, including concerts, art exhibitions, theatrical productions and educational programs. Summer brings a popular series of free outdoor concerts at Agawam Park in the Village of Southampton and one of the oldest 4th of July Parades in the country. The village center is busy in summer, with a lively mix of restaurants ranging from relaxed takeout places to fine dining establishments and nightlife. A round of shopping followed by lunch or dinner at a sidewalk café is a favorite summertime activity.

Nearby are extraordinary golf courses including world-class Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, National Golf Links of America and Sebonac Golf Course, plus bountiful farmstands, wineries, and nature parks with miles of walking trails. There are quiet bay beaches, too, and the bays are popular for fishing, sailing and boating. Ice boating or Ice Sailing is a historical pastime of many locals in the Water Mill area.

For properties located outside of the incorporated villages, the Town of Southampton serves as the local government for zoning matters such as building permits, code enforcement, police / public safety, highway maintenance, parks and recreation. Southampton Fire District and Southampton Ambulance District provide coverage for Fire Protection and emergency medical services. A Town Supervisor and Town Council comprise the local governing body for the unincorporated areas of Southampton Town. Southampton Town Hall located at 116 Hampton Road, Southampton, NY 11968, approximately 5 miles from the hamlet center of Water Mill.
