A SPOT ON BILLIONAIRES’ ROW

Bragging rights are included in a special new listing on Meadow Lane. In Southampton’s estate section, Swans Crossing is a sprawling 5.6-acre property that includes 700 feet of frontage on Halsey Neck Pond and heart-stopping ocean views. Swans Crossing is listed for $25 million by Michaela Keszler of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The current house is in an 80s contemporary style, with 7,000 square feet of space. That means there’s room for everyone including staff, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. There are two garages, one of which includes full staff quarters and airconditioned storage for the owner’s treasures.

The estate is entered via a long-gated driveway, which leads to the serene grounds. Wildlife

(swans!) and both sunsets and sunrises are ready to delight both guests and family alike. There’s a tennis court with pavilion, a pool with spa, and a pool house with full kitchen, bath and two changing rooms with showers, for that Philadelphia Story touch.

The gambrel style house features many cedar shiplap walls and exposed beams, all of which the serial renovator redid to her own specifications.

3,500 square feet of living space includes four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths and there is also an attached garage. Out back is a pool and spa along with private bayfront beach, perfect for paddleboarding.

Bethenny has purchased two other Hamptons houses in recent memory. She purchased an attractive barn-style house on Lumber Lane in Bridgehampton back in 2013, along with an adjacent piece of land. This property is not on the open real estate market, so perhaps Frankel is keeping it as an investment. She also purchased Morning Glory House, also in Bridgehampton, and flipped it, although she may have lost money on the deal.

WAS IT SOMETHING WE SAID, DREW?

Drew Barrymore’s charming Sagaponack house is in contract after less than a month on the market.

Kathy Konzet of Sotheby’s International Realty listed the property for $8.45 million.

A converted 1920s barn, the house (fittingly located on Old Barn Lane) was purchased by Drew about five years ago, paying $5.5 million for the spread. The building retains charming original details including old beams and floors, along with plenty of glass for a bright interior. Seven bedrooms and six bathrooms are located in the 6,850-square-foot house.

Outside, on 1.7 acres, the property boasts a number

of details great for Drew’s little girls, including a bocce court, a long lawn, flowering gardens and specimen trees. Of course, the property includes a gunite pool and poolhouse. It will be interesting to see where Drew lands next.

POST-MODDY IN THE DUNES

Time was that a non-oceanfront Amagansett spread would never ask $19.5 million. But that was then, and this is now. A handsome postmodern house, with a direct path to the beach, has been listed for a shade under $20 million by Jackie Dunphy and Greg Schmidt at The Corcoran Group.

The listing notes that the property “combines coastal luxury with a whimsical twist on old colonial architecture, featuring modern geometric elements.” What kind of geometric elements? Glad you asked—”repeating triangles and rectangles,

create a visually appealing design.”

Built in 1994, the Mitchell Dunes house features a double-height living room with a fireplace for chilly evenings. On this level is also a den, dining room and kitchen, which lead to a covered porch and deck. A bedroom, bathroom and a laundry area can also be found nearby. The primary suite, on the opposite side of the house, opens to a patio with steps to the backyard.

Upstairs are five more bedrooms and two bathrooms on this level. There are two decks accessible from here, one being western facing for sunset cocktails.

Outside, the 1.05-acre property includes a gunite pool and spa heated by solar power. There is also an outdoor shower and a fire pit with seating as well as a detached garage. The property also includes rights to the nearby community tennis court.

LOTSA LAND FOR A REASONABLE ASK

The sprawling Southampton home of the late architect and designer Thierry Despont is in contract. The 34 acres on Majors Path was assembled by Despont over the years from various parcels. Following Despont’s death last summer, the property was listed by Paul Brennan, Michaela Keszler, and Martha Gundersen from Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Last ask was $18.4 million.

One of Despont’s most high-profile jobs was the stunning transformation of Bernie Madoff’s dated Montauk oceanfront house. The gorgeous results made the cover of Architectural Digest Other clients of Despont’s include Bill Gates, Calvin Klein, Annette and Oscar de la Renta ,

Given those credentials, the 5,536-square-foot converted barn turned out to be as gorgeous and wellthought-out as expected. Six bedrooms mean there’s room for everyone, and each overlooks the courtyard.

The huge acreage (which includes the original Southampton Riding & Hunt Club property, yes, where the very young Jacqueline Bouvier showed her pony), includes a guest house and pool house. There’s a path to the pool, along with a poolhouse converted from a stable. This building offers a lounge area, a workout room, a sauna and a steam shower. Walking paths with lovely gardens and

exotic specimen trees complete the spacious estate.

Headquartered in Douglas Elliman’s Sag Harbor office, the team will offer advisory and representation throughout the Hamptons — from Southampton to Montauk. “It is my great pleasure to reach this milestone in my pursuit of delivering client-first residential advisory services in the markets that are aligned with the needs and location preferences of our clients,” said Black. “The Hamptons represent a natural extension of our New York City business and a personal home for me for over a decade.

The expansion comes on the heels of the team’s record-breaking sale of The Claxton House, which was placed in contract in less than two weeks from its debut on the market. Designed and owned by renowned interior designer Bryan Graybill, this masterful Sag Harbor home, located at 8 John Street, was co-listed with Elliman’s Erica Grossman for $14,950,000.

“We are thrilled to officially welcome Noble Black & Partners to the Hamptons,” said Todd Bourgard, CEO of Brokerage, Long Island, Hamptons and North Fork Regions at Douglas Elliman. “This extraordinary team is made up of consummate professionals who are all deeply committed to exceptional service and consistently perform in the top echelon of the industry.”

HAMPTON HABITUÉS

Good News Gossip About Our Notable Friends and Neighbors.

BY DAWN WATSON

In celebration of summer, let’s give it up for our most famously popular award-winning neighbor — the ocean! This perennial favorite just won yet another award, as it does every year for the past three decades, thanks to Dr. Beach’s Best Beaches list.

Tops across the nation in 2024 are Coopers Beach in Southampton, which ranked as the second-best beach in America and Main Beach in East Hampton, which came in at number six. In descending order, the top five winning shorefronts this year include Duke Kananamoku Beach in Oahu; Wailea Beach in Maui; Caledesi Island State Park in Clearwater, Florida; and Beachwalker Park on Kiawah Island in South Carolina.

HERE COMES THE BRIDE

Congratulations to Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi, who recently tied the knot in May. Since the secret nuptials, the two have been spotted all over the East End, which makes sense as the groom’s parents, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Bongiovi, have a beautiful home on Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton.

The Stranger Things star has been busy filming season five — the final of the cult hit — which will stream on Netflix in 2025. Spoiler alert: here’s what we know about the last season, which has been kept mostly under wraps.

It’s going to be a rollercoaster of emotional plot points as the protagonists attempt to prevent the Upside Down and “normal” worlds from merging. There will be a significant time jump in “The Crawl,” the first of the eight-episode season. And even though the main series is ending, fans can expect at least one spinoff in the works. No word if Ms. Brown will be involved.

FAMILIAR FACES

We are super excited about Apple TV’s new series, Presumed Innocent, especially as it stars some East End regulars and big-time Hamptons International Film Festival past attendees. Headlined by Jake Gyllenhaal (HIFF 2018), who also earns a producer credit on this one, and Ruth Negga, who famously captivated South Fork audiences with her breakout role in “Loving,” which premiered at HIFF in 2016 and then again with “Passing” in 2021, the limited series also features Gyllenhaal’s brother-in-law, Peter Sarsgaard who has participated in too many HIFF-featured films to count.

Based on The New York Times bestseller by Scott Turow, the screener stays close to the source material as it takes the audience on a wild ride of crime, obsession, sex, politics, and love. We are binge-watching this one!

LABOR OF LOVE

Big ups to North Fork screenwriter and director Tony Spiridakis, whose film Ezra premiered at the North Fork Arts Center to rave reviews. Starring Montauk’s Robert DeNiro and Bobby Cannavale (fun fact: the actor starred in the movie Angry Neighbors, which was set in the Hamptons and based on the book Lapham Rising by Southampton’s Roger Rosenblatt) the movie pulls no punches as it explores the struggles of raising an autistic child.

Directed by Spiridakis’ longtime friend and collaborator Tony Goldwyn, the feature also stars William Fitzgerald, Rose Byrne, Vera Farmiga, Rainn Wilson and Whoopi Goldberg. Spiridakis, whose previous works include Queens Logic and If Lucy Fell, is the Founder and Executive Director of the NFAC. Cool.

Almost 50 years since her very first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue debut, Bridgehampton’s Christie Brinkley has graced the cover yet again. The supermodel stunner, who is also a successful entrepreneur and darn nice lady, has appeared on the Swimsuit edition on

multiple occasions. This time she joins other legends — Tyra Banks, Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen, plus East End stalwart Martha Stewart, Gayle King, and more — on the magazine’s special 60th anniversary cover.

Brinkley also just launched a new clothing line. Called Twrhill, after her eclectic home, Tower Hill, it is all about giving summery and carefree Hamptons vibes.

BIG TIME BABY

We are over the moon that Southampton’s Jason Nower is making his way in the movie world with his 3 Nuts Studios partners, John Sheridan and Mike Lavin Their most recent project, A Bronx Tale: The Original One Man Show, starring Chazz Palminteri and based on his hugely successful one-man show, premiered in June to much fanfare at the Tribeca Film Festival’s “De Niro Con” in celebration of that legendary actor’s 80th birthday.

Nower, who is the Chief Broadcast Engineer at LTV Studios in Wainscott, and his 3 Nuts partners produced the Netflix special, Speshy Weshy in 2022. They named their partnership in a special nod to DeNiro — who signed on as an executive producer to their Bronx Tale feature — who quipped, “You’re the three nuts?” when he met them at a screening for the film last September.

TASTY DISH

Well done to Montauk’s Hanna Haar, a contestant on the second season of Food Network’s Ciao House. The chef, who has worked at Amber Waves in Amagansett and The Montauk Beach House, competed against 11 other culinary talents in the reality show, which is hosted by Bridgehampton’s Alex Guarnaschelli — a formidable chef, restaurateur and multi-series Food Network star — and Chef Gabriele Bertaccini of Italy.

Set on location at a villa in Puglia, the entire process has been an unforgettable experience, says Haar, but “the competition is narrowing down and heating up,” she says. “One wrong move and you’re home.” Chefs kiss.

FINAL BOWS

Huzzahs to Westhampton’s Ann Liguori, a veteran golf journalist and broadcaster and Sag Harbor’s Keith Hernandez, a New York Mets legend, who were both inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame earlier this summer. Way to go!!

A fully retractable glass wall blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors allowing sea breezes and light to flood the home.

An interior designer decorates a Montauk beach house in a glorious setting with understated élan

BY NINA THOMSON

When Brooke Abrams undertook the interior decoration of an ultra-modern beach house designed by Bates Masi + Architects, she didn’t have to spend a lot of time getting to know the client. For not only had they worked together on the client’s other homes, but their friendship preceded their professional relationship. “She is one of my best friends,” says Abrams, “and we’ve known each other for almost twenty-five years.” The two had spent countless hours in each other’s homes and the client trusted Abrams’s judgement and discerning eye.

“I understand her family’s lifestyle,” says Abrams. “She and her husband love to cook and entertain and they’re amazing in the kitchen.” Design-wise, the couple “wanted everything very rich and luxurious.” And one more thing: a neutral color palate. This was extremely important to the couple, least of all because of the house’s privileged location (it’s nested into a scrubby hillside above the Atlantic Ocean). Abrams and her client were of one mind that the decoration should act as a foil for the natural beauty of the setting.

To make the most of that natural beauty, the architects inverted the traditional floor plan of the two-story house by situating the main living areas on the second floor. While Abrams says she’s not generally big on ‘upside-down configurations,’ “It’s a fantastic layout for them, since they have the entire top floor to themselves.” Guests have lots of privacy on the ground floor comprising guest bedrooms and a TV room, and, on a lower level, a gym and storage space.

A wood staircase leads to a large open-plan space where a retracting glass wall blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

“When the wall is fully retracted it’s like living in nature,” Abrams recalls. “You have the sea and the breeze and good smells and the sound of the water, plus amazing light,” notes Abrams. “It’s a very happy place.” A large skylight over the kitchen and dining areas are covered by a louvered system which both adds architectural interest and diffuses the sunlight that comes pouring in from the north and

south elevations.

In addition to unifying the interior space with the exterior space, Abrams sought to bring a sense of cohesiveness to the house. “It had a lot of beautiful pale woodwork in creams and beiges and greys,” she recalls. “Rather than introduce new colors, I felt it was important to stay within that neutral palate so that everything felt integrated.”

Abrams trained for years with the pre-eminent French architect, interior designer, and artist Thierry Despont and she is a dab hand at working with form and texture in interesting ways. For this project she layered wools, cashmeres, linens, silks, braided rugs, and sisal matting throughout. She also mixed hard-wearing modern classics such as a Restoration Hardware sofa with stand-out pieces such as the brass and leather light by Apparatus Studio that hangs over a cerused oak live-edge dining table in a charcoal finish. The table is bespoke, and Abrams matched it to a reproduction set of Pierre Jeanneret’s iconic dining chairs in pale-colored cane and bleached wood — all set against a neutral backdrop with minimal distractions. Where the dining area was concerned, the idea was to go for “something striking and elegant but not too heavy.” Abrams adds: “l loved the idea of

mixing the lighter chair with the darker table and then using a jewel-like light fixture as an accent. For me, wood elements are essential to adding warmth to a neutral environment. You elevate the design by adding interesting pieces.”

Abrams took a similarly cohesive approach elsewhere. Bedrooms feature blush tones, lots of soft furnishings in pale hues, alabaster table lamps, and warm beige throws, and painterly views of the silver-green hillside and the ocean beyond. In the living area, which adjoins the kitchen and dining areas, she mixed barrel-backed chairs upholstered in bouclé fabric with a black wooden surfboard-shaped coffee table. Neatly tucked behind the fireplace are a pair of sliding doors that conceal a television set and she arranged the furniture in such a way as to create two separate seating areas, one for sitting by the fire and reading or conversation and the other for watching TV.

In every room, the interiors enhance the scenery rather than overshadow it. “The style is a perfect reflection of the client’s way of life,” says Abrams. “The floor plan, the flow, the decoration, they all really work.”

Make your outdoor dinners better than ever this summer.

This summer, you can make your outdoor space a space to remember with a few simple upgrades. Investing in a few bespoke pieces — from furniture to accents to select hardscaping — can help improve the overall feel of your outdoor dining space. Here’s where to start.

Consider the lighting first. Although candlelight is a great way to dine, you may want to think through

a more permanent structure, particularly if you have a long table beneath a pergola, awning, or deck. Edison string bulbs are one way to go, but you can also install an outdoor chandelier with the help of an electrician, which adds sophistication and whimsy to any outdoor dining area (for outdoor-appropriate lighting options, check out Visual Comfort & Co., which has a Southampton showroom; the retailer also sells products online, like the midcentury-style Hilo outdoor chandelier, and the farmhouse-style Allier outdoor chandelier).

Although you may not want a firepit within the actual confines of your dining or seating area, new-and-improved tabletop fire features can bring warmth — and warm vibes — to any dinner party. Solo Stove makes several small sizes of tabletop stove, and they are even available in different colorways, allowing you to match the stove to your outdoor décor. Heat diffusers, which are sold separately, can be used to help warm up an entire dining area. And, at the end of a meal, you can even invite guests to toast marshmallows over them, right at the table.

Add the feeling of indoors to your outdoor dining scene with a cozy rug. West Elm’s indoor/outdoor rugs come in a variety of colors and sizes (the bright blue or bright yellow Marimekko Papajo indoor/ outdoor rug, available in sizes up to 9 x 12, is a

stunning example) and can make your dining space outside feel just as cozy and intimate as your indoor dining room. To add to the coziness and intimacy of the space, consider matching the linens of your dining space to your chosen rug. Throw pillows, blankets, and even linen outdoor napkins can bring the entire look together.

Shade your outdoor dining area — and make it more private — with the addition of an umbrella or pergola. A large umbrella with an adjustable stand can provide screening from the rest of the yard and can section off the space so that it feels like its own serene dining area. Patio.com, in Southampton, offers a wide array of high-quality umbrella options for in-person shopping.

Or, if you have the space, opt for a pergola, where you can train vines up the sides for added shade (and a touch of floral décor). Those interested in building a pergola may want to consider working with a specialist like Walpole Outdoors. Their expert staff can transform professional drawings, simple sketches, or ideas into custom structures that perfectly complement your taste, needs, and the architecture of your space. Additionally, Walpole offers complimentary design services, ensuring that every detail aligns with your vision for a seamless integration into your outdoor environment.

The East End Is The Perfect Location For Creating These Cherished Gardens.

BY MILA EVERHART

Cottage gardens possess an undeniable charm, exuding a lively and colorful blend of old-fashioned plants that epitomize informality. These gardens flourish in a joyful, unrestrained manner, spilling onto pathways, leaning on fences, and creating an exuberant atmosphere. Their relaxed spirit perfectly complements the easygoing vibe of summer by the sea on the East End. Even within a formal landscape, there is room for a cottage garden, enclosed and gated as a small, selfcontained world.

The origins of cottage gardens trace back to England and Europe, where the “cottagers” who worked on grand estates grew their own food and medicinal herbs in small plots. When settlers brought this tradition to America, they cultivated vegetables, herbs, and flowers used for dyes and medicines in dooryard plots enclosed by picket fences.

Today's cottage gardens have evolved but remain rooted in regional and old-fashioned plants. These gardens typically include a diverse array

of plants — perennials, annuals, bulbs, herbs, vines, and even shrubs — all growing together harmoniously. Fragrant plants are particularly cherished in a cottage garden.

When selecting plants for your East End cottage garden, consider including those that hold special meanings or associations for you. A cottage garden is also an ideal place for plants given as gifts for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions. Plants that self-sow, such as forgetme-nots and Johnny jump-ups, add a delightful touch of serendipity, sprouting up wherever they please. Choose plants based on their individual qualities rather than their contribution to an overall design, aiming for a pleasing mix of colors without being constrained by a strict color scheme. Include tall and large plants to avoid a collection of only small ones. Grouping plants in small clumps of three or five can prevent the garden from looking entirely random.

Antique and heritage roses, such as damasks and cabbage roses, are perfect for a cottage garden. Alternatively, David Austin roses, available in

many garden centers and nurseries on the East End, combine the fragrance and color range of heritage roses with the hardiness and disease resistance of modern varieties.

In selecting plants for your cottage garden, prioritize heirloom and old-fashioned varieties over modern hybrids. Older varieties, such as heliotrope and sweet peas, often offer more fragrance than newer cultivars bred for large size or unusual color. On the East End, a cottage garden could feature regional specialties like Montauk daisy and plants adapted to seashore conditions, such as bayberry, sea pink, sea lavender, fragrant rugosa roses, New England aster, butterfly bush, Russian sage, black-eyed Susan, perennial salvias, and even prickly pear cactus.

Don't hesitate to experiment in your garden; if you are unsatisfied with the results, you can always make changes the following year. This season, embrace the joy and spontaneity of creating your cottage garden, and above all, have a little fun with it.

Host an Outdoor Event

This July 4th with These Entertaining Tips

BY HANNAH SELINGER

Do your summer plans involve entertaining outside? If you’re hosting — and planning on doing it the right way — we have tips to make your outdoor event the best one possible. Read on for our tips and tricks for summer 2024.

If you don’t have a pergola or a retractable shade, you can keep guests cool during a midday party by installing a shade sail. You can purchase sails online and install beautiful panels yourself — or even call professionals to put up these relatively inexpensive and streamlined looking — and durable — pieces of material, which will keep out sun, wind, and rain.

Looking to maximize the flow of your party? Set up a beverage station on a table or outdoor bar cart. This will help direct the traffic away from congested areas and will help guests navigate their way to the most important hub of your party: the drinks. Your drinks station should have an ice bucket, mixers, drinks, garnishes, glassware, and everything else your guests may need in order to serve themselves (assuming you don’t have a bartender working your party).

You can also create a signature cocktail for your event, which will help streamline the bar and will make it easier for guests to retrieve drinks at their leisure. Have some batched drinks poured and ready when guests arrive. The remaining cocktail can lie in wait at the bar, in pitchers or a punchbowl, along with instructions for service. It’s a great way to highlight your talents as a mixologist, add a little pep to your party, and keep the lines to the bar short and sweet.

When it comes time for guests to gather, arrange furniture to help facilitate their needs. Group chairs, couches, and side tables together to promote easy

conversation. If you need to, bring in extra hightop tables or patio chairs (you may want to consider renting a few extras, if you’re expecting a large crowd). Spreading out furniture around your patio and lawn areas will make it easier for guests to congregate in small groups.

You can also up the comfort quotient by accenting seating areas with extra pillows, throws, and Turkish towels — anything that is outdoor-friendly and dries quickly when wet. Then, dress up common areas with candles for when it gets dark. Old and unused brass, silver-plated, and pewter candlesticks that have been sitting at the back of a storage closet make for excellent eclectic outdoor décor. Mix them onto your tablescape and pepper them around common areas for a touch of warmth that will help set the mood for your soiree. Bistro lights — these days, you can even buy solar-powered ones, which require no plugs — add an extra-warm touch.

In the weeks leading up to your party, make sure your garden is in bloom. Weed out your garden beds, apply mulch where needed, and, if necessary, plant new and mature plantings for a backdrop that will make all your guests stare. And finally, don’t forget the entertainment. Although music is always great, there’s nothing more fun than a party with games. For outdoor entertaining, consider lightening the mood with something fun: bocce, horseshoes, and croquet are all great ways to get your guests in on the party.

SUSTAINABILITY AND COLLABORATION

Trends on display at the 2024 International Contemporary Furniture Fair

BY HEATHER SENISON

In the week before Memorial Day weekend, Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Convention Center was filled to the brim with leather, wood, stone and wool. It was the 2024 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and the 250,000-square-foot lower exhibition hall teemed with designers, dressed in their favorite fashions, scuttling around to admire each other’s designs.

The energy was palpable, noted Ann Petersen, senior director of brand and trade marketing for Lumens. The lighting retailer featured items from several brands including the Wallace Sofa from Gus* Modern and the Seal lounge chair from Audo Copenhagen. “The design industry was out in force – from emerging designers and brands to the icons of the industry, everyone was walking the fair and engaging,” she said.

We caught up with a few of this year’s ICFF designers to chat about what they saw at the show.

SUSTAINABILITY

Among the trends at the fair this year, sustainability was the most prevalent. From 3D printing on recycled

plastics to light fixtures fashioned out of sugar cane, the furniture industry is collectively taking a step toward saving the planet.

“The balance of tradition and innovation underscores a commitment to mixing ecological integrity with personalized design,” said Evelin Portillo, founder and creative director at Southampton-based St. Étienne Design. At its booth, her studio presented a collection featuring fabrics that are hand-woven using an ancient Mayan pedal loom technique. They are then dyed and stitched by master craftsmen, Portillo explained. “Designers are leaning into organic forms and natural textures, utilizing healthier materials, stone, and sustainable fabrics,” she said.

Designer Ian Love, based in the Hamptons and Brooklyn, saw a shift away from mass-produced products, “and a focus on sustainable design that is transparent about where and how it’s made,” he said. Love presented a collection of tables, seating, a mirror and wall art. “My booth was all handmade sculptural furniture and art all made with local trees that were taken down and salvaged before being thrown away,” he said.

ORIGINALITY

Instead of fretting about furnishings looking perfect and uniform, designers are embracing Mother Nature’s blemishes.

“Emphasis is now on authenticity and the tactile qualities of natural materials, celebrating their unique

imperfections and the craftsmanship involved,” Portillo explained. This was evident in the troves of stone, wood and other organic elements on the ICFF floor this year. “These materials are crafted into pieces that highlight environmental responsibility and timeless beauty, reflecting a deep appreciation for both nature and artisan skills,” she added.

Drawn to the natural world, Love said he succumbed to temptation and bought himself a mycelium lamp from the MushLume Lighting booth. “I also really loved [designer] Simon Johns’ clay side tables and light sculptures,” he said.

COLLABORATION

Throughout the show, it was clear that designers were working together. Numerous booths showcased not just the sponsors’ work but other artists as well. In the back, students from Parsons School of Design unveiled their innovations, including a Shoji screen illuminated with blue lightbulbs and a wood-like material made with mycelium byproducts.

“I felt strong community in the room, which will inspire the industry to keep creating and moving forward,” said Peterson, of Lumens.

At the St. Étienne display, the studio showcased sculptural art made together with embroidery artist Sarah Esmoingt to illuminate the power of women, Portillo noted. “These designs reflect a dedication to sustainability, the beauty of natural materials, and the collaborative spirit in the design industry,” she said.

CHRIS BURNSIDE OF BROWN HARRIS STEVENS

Chris Burnside of Brown Harris Stevens is set to host the 2024 Holiday House Hamptons Designer Showhouse at his newest construction project in Bridgehampton. This summer event will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. HRES spoke with Chris about the property and his involvement with the BCRF Designer Showhouse.

HRES: Could you share your decision-making process behind hosting the annual designer event, Holiday House Hamptons?

Chris Burnside: The decision-making process was challenging, primarily due to the constraints of a tight schedule and the extensive coordination required among various designers. Despite these pressures, the project represents an extraordinary cause that benefits The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I’m filled with enthusiasm and pride to be involved and honored that Holiday House Hamptons and their Designer Showhouse as well as the presenting sponsor Brown Harris Stevens chose my property for this event. It’ll be exciting to see how these top designers will envision each space of the home. This house is not just a structure; it’s a labor of love and a testament to innovative design, making it truly exceptional and a delight to hand over to someone who will appreciate its unique qualities. For more info on this benefit visit holidayhousehamptons.com and definitely follow @holidayhousedesigns on instagram.

HRES: What inspired the design and architectural elements for 4 Windy Hill Lane?

CB: The architectural design began as a minimalist farmhouse vision, inspired by a curated collection of photographs depicting residences that resonated with my personal taste. The unique characteristics of the site itself played a pivotal role in shaping the design as well. It’s the incorporation of modern features that truly distinguishes this home, infusing it with a distinctive character. The expansive glass walls blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, creating an immersive experience that makes one feel as though they are part of the natural landscape.

HRES: Can you provide more details about the property's layout and amenities?

CB: The property is incredible, inside and out, featuring everything you’d want in a premier resort and more. A sprawling 10,000+ sf home on 1.16 perfectly manicured acres with rows of elegantly planted specimen trees and ornamental

plantings. It’s further enhanced by a sunken tennis/pickleball court, seamlessly integrated into the meticulously landscaped grounds, waterfall pool and spa, 2,500+/- square foot Turkish marble terrace (it’s truly stunning) with a covered, stateof-the-art outdoor kitchen and lounging area. The outdoor amenities are matched by the interior’s grandeur, which showcases a striking three-sided glass fireplace, walls of glass, and a sleek metal floating staircase (a touch of industrial chic). The design is a testament to modern architecture.

HRES: Are there any unique features that this property offers?

CB: 4 Windy Hill Lane is one of the first of only seven new luxury estates in the private community of Windy Hill. The community is surrounded by reserve, open space, and have an equestrian theme. It is truly an amazing property with complete privacy priced below everything else available.

HRES: Are there any unique or innovative design choices that differentiate it from similar properties in Bridgehampton?

CB: 4 Windy Hill Lane (and the other homes in this community) stands out due to its exceptional quality and distinctive design, setting a new benchmark for residential architecture in the Hamptons. It features a tennis or pickleball court, a luxury amenity that has become increasingly hard to find. The apple and pear orchard are also an amenity one would have a difficult time finding anywhere else. The combination of thoughtful design, high-quality construction, and its sought-after features contribute to its uniqueness, making it a coveted choice for those seeking a blend of elegance and an active lifestyle.

HRES: In terms of sustainability and energy efficiency, what measures were incorporated into the construction of this home?

CB: In addition to the solar panels, which are a cornerstone of the home’s sustainability features, generating ample electricity to power the entire residence, the house is designed with meticulous attention to energy efficiency. The interior walls are fully insulated, for thermal retention, and soundproofing, creating a serene and quiet environment. The use of high-efficiency boilers, state-of-the-art radiant heating, and LED lighting further enhances its eco-friendly credentials. These elements work in concert to ensure that the home is not only comfortable but also operates with a reduced environmental footprint, making it a model of modern efficiency.

Every day is Adopt a Shelter Pet Day in Southampton.

On April 30, 2024, the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) hosted Adopt a Shelter Pet Day for the entire community. The event presented: Meet the Animals, Shelter Tours, Puppy Yoga, Training Tips, Cat Q&A, Bunny Basics, and Kids Crafts. National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, celebrated annually on April 30, got a boost this year when the Town of Southampton adopted a resolution that designates April 30 as Adopt a Shelter Pet Day within the Town of Southampton. Councilmember Michael Iasilli sponsored the resolution with the support of Councilmember Bill Pell, both animal welfare advocates.

Councilmember Iasilli says, “It was great to sponsor the first Adopt a Shelter Pet Day in the Town of Southampton. Raising awareness of the importance of adoption is critical to the wellbeing of our shelter pets. Additionally, underscoring the affordable veterinary care and amazing work of the Shelter’s volunteers and staff enhances our partnership and encourages residents to benefit from the services provided by the Shelter. I’m now looking forward to celebrating Adopt a Shelter Pet Day every year in our town!”

Beatrix Parash, Director of Operations at SASF from 2021 to the present (and from 2016-2019), a fierce advocate of responsible pet ownership, educates, counsels, and raises awareness about the crisis affecting animal shelters all over the country. As Parash describes, “SASF is a very

unique animal shelter on Long Island. It is the ONLY Open Admission Shelter in Suffolk County and a no-kill shelter that will take in any animal regardless of any behavioral, medical or age-related issues, unlike the many Restricted Shelters on Long Island.”

SASF is one of New York’s leading private non-profit shelters for all companion animals. The Shelter rescues dogs from kill shelters and dire situations across the country as well as overcrowded municipal shelters on Long Island and NYC. Their program socializes, integrates, and enriches the lives of shelter dogs and for many challenging canines, it is their last resort. The Shelter also has many wonderful cats in their open cat areas and two “Catios” where felines enjoy free roaming and playing. And

they welcome domestic bunnies, the third most abandoned animal. They have a low-cost Wellness Clinic that will spay/neuter, vaccinate and give a wellness exam to your pet and a Pet Pantry for the elderly and those on a fixed income, helping them keep their animals.

Tracy McLaren, Coordinator of the AdvoCats TNR Program at SASF helps humanely trap feral cats and their kittens in the Town of Southampton. The mother cats are caught and spayed and are returned to their neighborhood, while the kittens are neutered/spayed, vaccinated, fed and cared for at the Shelter, ready for adoption. As a result, the cat population in Southampton is more controlled and everyone, especially the cats are better off for it.

On Saturday, July 20, 2024, at 6 p.m., the 15th Annual Unconditional Love Gala, the signature gala for SASF, will be held under the tents at Wickapogue and Old Town Roads in Southampton. Supporting the gala directly supports the Shelter in saving hundreds of lives every year through rescue, medical services, training, adoption and foster programs. This year’s honorees include Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, who will be receiving an Animal Welfare award, and his rescue pup, Miss Peaches, who will receive an SASF Paws of Purpose award. Cathy Bissell, founder of the Bissell Pet Foundation will also be honored with a lifetime achievement award. For tickets and sponsorship opportunities, go to the SASF website at sasf.org.

Adopt a shelter pet today and give a warm, furry friend a loving home forever!

Gurney’s Resort & Seawater Spa

The season is in full swing in Montauk. Surf’s up and waves of wellness are washing over the hotels and restaurants. There’s enough crudo to sink a fishing boat, but not to worry about a shortage of burgers and fries or the iconic lobster rolls. Some very high-end chefs are on the scene and more keep coming. They only add to the allure of the world class surfing and fishing that define “The End.”

“Montauk draws outdoor enthusiasts,” says Corcoran’s Helen Stubbmann. “It’s the fishing capital of the world and has one of the best surf breaks on the East Coast. The views, the beauty, the water are everywhere.”

The Montauk Yacht Club, originally built in 1928, has reopened this season after a multimillion-dollar renovation. It is now managed by Proper Hospitality which is making

its East Coast debut, but ownership remains in the hands of Safe Harbor Marinas. It boasts the largest marina in the Hamptons with 200 wet slips that can accommodate everything from small day cruisers to 300-foot super yachts.

The Ditch Plains beach famous for surfing is less than three miles away. Tennis courts were upgraded, and pickle ball courts added. There are elevated wellness offerings, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a spa opening this month. A new Ocean Club Montauk restaurant is helmed by Chef Jared McCarroll who is envisioning an East Coast version of his Ocean Club St. Barth’s.

No doubt he will be welcoming customers who frequent his island location in the winter.

“You’re kind of at the top of your game and you’re part of an exclusive club when you’re here already,” McCarroll says in a podcast interview. Expect red snapper tartare and wood-roasted beef with smoked beetroot ketchup.

More international flair is on offer at Mostrador at the newish Marram resort where a chef and restaurateur behind popular restaurants in Uruguay and Argentina hold sway. Their newest offering is a sizable paella. Marram, named for the beach grass that grows on the dunes, sits right on the ocean in the middle of an $11 million beach restoration project that stretches from Montauk to Fire Island.

It was recently purchased by KSL Capital for $78.5 million. Surf lessons are given here as well as yoga, guided meditation sessions, crystal

workshops, tarot card readings and s’mores at duneside fire pits.

If you never made it to Noma in Copenhagen, cofounder Mads Refslund, now of Ilis in Brooklyn, will be featured at a pop-up orchestrated by Brooklyn’s Fulgurances in collaboration with sustainable seafood wholesaler Dock to Dish, at Inlet Seafood Restaurant. Other top chefs in the four-dinner series from this month to August 26th include Nicholas Tamburo (Claud), Victoria Blamey (Blanca), and Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson (Frenchette). The Mads Refslund dinner is July 29

Ever popular Duryea’s is adding four standalone Sunset Cottages this month and doubling the size of its boutique. “There are very few offerings that combine good food and beverage hospitality with quality lodging,” says managing director Steven Jauffrineau. “There’s a clear shift toward wellness happening and we also notice it on the restaurant side with more demand for mocktails.”

Corporate chef Philippe Corbet oversees all the food operations in Montauk as well as at the Orient Point location and LuLu in Sag Harbor. The generous lobster roll will always be a best seller but there are clams and oysters and a soaring seafood tower.

Chef Dean Sayles and Piero Zangarini have opened a dock and dine spot called N’Amo (Italian for fishhook) in the former Le Fin space.

A new spot called Placebo, which highlights Puerto Rican flavors, is now open at Ruschmeyer’s Hotel, a lively part of the party scene.

Casa Serena will feed the Page Six celebs, political progeny and other party goers at the Surf Lodge where Chef Robert Sieber rides the range. Caviar, crudo, and grilled sea bass are on the menu.

A new live music schedule announced for Navy Beach restaurant includes CK Beats, Lina Maxine, and DJ Scotty. The restaurant is known for prime sunset views and one of the largest selections of rosé wines in the Hamptons. The restaurant’s philanthropic efforts center around its support of the Navy SEAL Foundation, for which Navy Beach has raised over $175,000 since 2013.

Solé East is emerging from a winter refresh/ redesign. The restaurant now includes a warm and summery feel with natural colors of white and dark wood accented with new furniture indoors and outdoors, seagrass chairs, and ambient lighting. There are pop up wellness programs and pool parties on weekends as well

as pop up retail shows. Yoga is offered to hotel guests on weekend through Yoga Lila.

The Montauk Beach House Bar & Grill now has a Greek accent with Molyvos alum Andres Zeron. Menu items such as lamb burgers with goat’s milk feta and cumin aioli, beef kebabs and dill-accented Greek salad will be served on the lawn with produce infused drinks from Mikola Jablanovic formerly of the Surf Lodge. A Melon Picante made with ghost pepper tequila and watermelon juice is hot stuff.

The queen of the wellness trend is still renovated Gurney’s Resort and Seawater Spa, the luxury resort right on a spectacular Atlantic beach. It’s 30,000 square foot Seawater Spa and Bathhouse features an indoor saltwater pool and a full menu of wellness amenities and spa treatments such as thalassotherapy. Even super fit guests get hungry.

Scarpetta at the Beach helmed by chef Jorge Espinoza is ready to indulge them with a modern Italian menu featuring half a dozen crudi, pastas such as short rib and bone marrow agnolotti, and a selection of fresh fish.

Between all the surfing and dining, be sure not to miss the Montauk Point Lighthouse commissioned by George Washington in 1792.

Beverly Stephen writes about design, food, travel, and lifestyle. She is the former executive editor of Food Arts magazine, and now the co-owner of Flavor Forays, a culinary travel company.

After weathering several severe storms that hit downtown Montauk this winter, nearly wiping out its shoreline, with high tides, flooding rain, and damaging winds, the beautiful beaches are back again with newly replenished sand, thanks to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District. According to their website, “The $11.7 million project placed 500,000 cubic yards of sand along 4,100 feet of coastline in downtown Montauk and also refurbished dunes,” in the ever eroding, always rejuvenating oasis known as The End.

Sunny Melet, owner of Pre Loved MTK, a small, chic vintage clothing shop she opened in 2021, is nestled in the courtyard at 805 Montauk Highway, adjacent to Martell’s Stationary Store on Main Street. Sunny, a native of Montauk, learned about the fashion industry from her parents, who are in the business. From her world travels, she is always discovering unique gems to enhance her collection. On her recent trip this spring, she stopped at a small surfing and fishing town, a bit like Montauk in its essence, Essaouria, Morocco, where she was inspired by the Medina.

by curator, Khalid, with the free-spirited lifestyle motifs craftily embroidered by local artisans. You can find Sunny at Pre Loved MTK daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., when she’s not on her surfboard shooting the curl at Ditch Plains beach.

Montauk has some of the best waves on the east coast, attracting surfers from around the world. Ditch Plains, a popular surfing spot, offers longboard friendly waves. Legendary longboarder Tony Villar, has been surfing Montauk since the ’60s, performing accelerated drop-knee turns and side-slip 360s. Montauk Point offers the more advanced surfer steep takeoffs and long fast walls at Turtles, Alamo and Avalanche, located to the right and beneath the Montauk Point Lighthouse. It is the oldest lighthouse in New York State, built in 1796, and sits atop a 68foot high bluff, overlooking the ocean.

The Montauk Canyon Challenge, sponsored by SI Yachts and hosted by the Montauk Yacht Club, is an annual event, run by Richard Lucas and Chris Squeri, begun in 2011 to restore Montauk as the Northeast Premier Offshore Fishing Destination. The tournament has the largest money payout and number of boats on Long Island. It is a great opportunity to catch offshore tuna in the deep waters off Montauk Point. A portion of the proceeds go to Maggie’s Mission, a charity dedicated to fighting childhood cancer and supporting families affected, in honor of Maggie Schmidt of Long Island, who in 2017, lost her life to cancer at age 17. The tournament begins on Friday, July 12 at 7 p.m. and ends Saturday, July 20 at 3 p.m., followed by an Awards Dinner and Party at the Montauk Yacht Club.

Whatever activities you choose to enjoy in Montauk, always respect the environment, especially the ocean. Montauk’s fragile coastline, frequently battered by storms, needs continual protection and preservation to ensure this idyllic paradise will never end.

The First Literature Project at Guild Hall BY

Before texting, before penned letters, before even stone carvings and painted cave walls there was the word, the spoken word. The power of oral storytelling and its connection to the native Shinnecock land and its people is vividly on display at Guild Hall’s First Literature Project. Artists-in-Residence Wunetu Wequai Tarrant and Christian Scheider collaborated on bringing an ancient tradition alive in a very modern setting with advanced Virtual Reality 3D technology using the newly released Apple Vision Pro headset. Viewers are treated to the storytelling of Padawe originally written in English by Elizabeth Chee Chee Thunderbird Haile and newly translated and narrated in the Shinnecock language by Tarrant, Haile’s granddaughter.

Tarrant who grew up on the reservation and has devoted her studies to the reconstruction and revitalization of the Shinnecock dialect says of the exhibition, “We wanted to create an environment that was inviting and warm, the feeling of a lodge without being claustrophobic. We used the circle of storytelling log seats for viewers on a woven pine bough floor.” Once viewers look through the high-tech lenses they are transported as if the storytellers are sitting with them in the circle.

Scheider, who is an independent filmmaker and theater maker, knew Tarrant and proposed doing

a VR film about one of her grandmother’s stories. “I can’t stand modern technology most of the time,” says Scheider, “But here we could use new technology as a means of achieving an old kind of focus and way of listening.” Both were highly influenced by philosopher N. Scott Momaday who said, “The oral tradition is inestimably older than writing and it requires that we take words more seriously. One must not waste words. One must speak responsibly, one must listen carefully, and one must remember what is said.” They worked with Khora, a leading Virtual and Augmented Reality Production studio to produce the experience.

For those afraid of motion sickness or with an aversion to video games, fear not. Scheider specifically chose to create an atmosphere of natural beauty and serenity with only a few shots even using motion. Instead, the visuals focus on the storytellers and the pre-colonization purity of the coastal Shinnecock land. “As a filmmaker I wanted to strip away all of the gimmickry to have you really sit in the land which goes back thousands of years,” he explains.

Anthony Madonna, Guild Hall’s Patti Kenner Director of Learning and New Works who worked with both Tarrant and Scheider over two years to bring the exhibition to life comments, “You are immersed in an environment as opposed to an interactive space. Christian matched

beautifully the visual cadence to a vocal cadence. You are given time to absorb what you hear and what you see.” It is seeing life (pun intended) through a different headset.

The exhibit in partnership with the Padoquohan Medicine Lodge also includes hours of interviews with members of the Shinnecock Nation. The preservation of their stories and history is considered a sacred trust. An interesting concept of the language is that it is essential to speak the truth. In an era of misinformation and viral falsehoods, the first person veracity feels incredibly reassuring. Tarrant says, “The language is a gift from our ancestors and it encapsulates their world view. It is built into the grammar and based on their relationship with each other so why would you lie?” With respect for the land and animals such as the whales they hunted (a far cry from the bloody tales of Sag Harbor whalers) there is “no need to take more than what you need.”

Another important part of the project is working with local school students to video first hand stories. “We are showing them they don’t have to be just consumers of information,” says Tarrant, “They can be producers.”

The invitation is to take a step forward to step back in time to rediscover meaning. No emojis required.

Delray Beach Offers Great Dining and Entertainment in a Charming Beachside Setting.

BY MARIETTE WILLIAMS

Photo: Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority

Positioned between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Delray Beach has undergone a decades-long transformation, turning the once sleepy beachside town into a covetable vacation spot for locals and visitors. Delray Beach has long been known for its eclectic arts scene, but the addition of several new restaurants and a sleek new hotel has elevated Delray’s reputation. If you’re looking for a beachside vacation in a charming beach town, here’s what to do for your next visit to Delray Beach.

WHERE TO STAY

Visitors to Delray Beach have a mix of established resorts and newer properties to choose from. The Ray Hotel is a newer edition, and its rooftop pool deck, Rosewater Rooftop, is a popular weekend and happy hour hangout. The hotel opened in 2021 with 141 modern guest rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, and a sleek lobby bar. Head to the hotel’s Asian restaurant, Akira Back, for Koren/Japaneseinfluenced bites like steamed octopus sashimi and wagyu short rib. The Ray Hotel is less than a mile from the beach, and the property’s many sculptures and art installations are a nod to Delray’s art community.

The Seagate Hotel & Spa is a long-standing

property with a classic Florida vibe. The hotel was established in the 1930s and has a private beach with a beach club just steps from the property. The hotel also boasts 154 guest rooms, each decorated with dark wood furniture and plantation shutters that open to floor-to-

ceiling windows overlooking Atlantic Avenue. Other amenities include an award-winning spa, a private beach club, and an exclusive golf club.

For a small, intimate stay, consider Crane’s Beach House. The boutique hotel is conventionally located just a block from Atlantic Avenue, but the lush landscaping makes it feel secluded. Each of the 28 guest rooms and villas has a full kitchen and living room, and guests can access two serene pools.

WHERE TO EAT

Visitors to Delray Beach choose from a mix of fine dining to more casual hangout spots like The Hampton Social, Thrōw Social, or Bounce Delray. Both Thrōw Social and Bounce Delray offer lively weekend brunches with DJs and often host weekly social events.

For a quieter meal, Delray Beach offers a few options. Downtown Delray boasts fine dining like Cut 432, a sophisticated steakhouse, and 50 Ocean, a second-story restaurant with views of the water and double-stuffed Maine lobster rolls on the menu.

Delray Beach is also home to a few spots

Hampton Social

beloved by locals. DADA is an eclectic garden restaurant where people-watching rivals the uniquely named cocktails (try the tequila and prickly pear-infused Frida Khalo). El Camino also deserves a mention — the restaurant is packed nearly every night, and the shrimp tacos are some of the best in town.

WHAT TO DO

Just west of the beaches, Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens is one of Delray Beach’s most unique attractions. The property opened in 1977 and offers guests a museum with over 7,000 Japanese artifacts, beautifully manicured grounds, and annual special events. The museum and gardens honor Delray’s early Japanese community, and the peaceful grounds are a perfect afternoon activity.

You could also check out Delray Beach’s art scene. The Pineapple Grove Arts District has murals, galleries, and outdoor art installations, and The Arts Garage hosts several live music and theater events each month, along with an

arts education program for adults and children. For more live music, stop by Tin Roof, a bar on Atlantic Avenue that comes alive with local bands and an enthusiastic crowd looking for a good time. The bar proves that as much as

Delray has transformed, the beach town remains true to its free-spirited, eclectic roots.

Buyers

continue to flock to the lifestyle and low taxes of the Sunshine State.

BY JAXON WILDE

With the recent sale of Palm Beach’s Tarpon Island for an astounding $150 million, it’s clear that the South Florida market is thriving. Palm Beach now boasts more listings over $50 million than any other “trophy” market in the U.S., outpacing even the Hamptons, Malibu, and Aspen. This trend is fueling a sustained boom in South Florida’s highend luxury market, spanning from Miami to Palm Beach. HRES consulted leading brokers Dana and Paulette Koch of Corcoran, John and Lisa Cregan of Sotheby’s International Realty, and Elizabeth DeWoody of Compass for their expert insights into the current market dynamics.

DANA & PAULETTE KOCH — CORCORAN

Where are most of your buyers coming from?

Our buyers tend to come from New York, New

Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington DC, Illinois, and California. We have a combination of tax refugees and political refugees from those states so that they can take advantage of the Palm Beach lifestyle! Lately, many of our buyers have been local. They made initial buys which I refer to as “placeholders” while they searched for another property. Now that our market has more of a sense of normalcy, we have been able to continue to educate our clients and they are able to move swiftly when the right property comes onto the market. Real Estate has always been a sport in Palm Beach.

Have higher interest rates had an effect on South Florida’s luxury real estate market?

Absolutely! Higher interest rates have slowed down the market here. That is part of the reason why there are fewer sales. It’s not that buyers can’t afford

to pay an extra point or two, it’s the fact that money was so cheap for so long that it has had an effect on buyers psyches. In addition, the rise in rates has kept potential sellers in their current homes because it doesn’t make financial sense for them as they are locked in at such low rates. Not only do we have fewer buyers, but we have fewer sellers.

JOHN & LISA CREGAN — SOTHEBY’S

What are some of the trends you’re seeing in South Florida’s luxury real estate market? Are there any specific areas in high demand now?

We’re seeing a barbell. At the super high-end, price does not seem to be any impediment to demand. And anything at the low-end that’s priced reasonably goes very quickly. It’s the buyer in the middle who seems hesitant right now. Plenty of showings, fewer contracts. They seem to be worried

Represented by Dana & Paulette Koch of Corcoran

they’ll top-tick the market and regret their purchase. The pending election is the current excuse to sit tight. Inventory has risen as a consequence and there are some very nice homes to choose from. It’s a real opportunity. We like to remind people it’s not like buying a stock — Nvidia is never going to pay you the dividend of a warm winter in Palm Beach.

What’s the quirkiest request you’ve ever received from a luxury homebuyer?

Maybe more fun than quirky, we have a client whose primary home is a town an hour north of here, but she really wanted to play in the terrific women’s tennis league at Palm Beach’s Seaview Park. Being a town resident nicely bumps your eligibility, so she and her husband bought a beautiful two-bedroom apartment in an oceanfront building just for the tennis league. She’s had a blast.

ELIZABETH DEWOODY — COMPASS

Are there any emerging areas that you believe offer significant growth opportunities?

The coastal West Palm Beach neighborhoods South of Southern, El Cid and the Northwood, are huge up and coming areas with significant growth opportunities. The West Palm Beach downtown development is on fire. West Palm Beach dubbed “Wall Street of the South” is booming with commercial buildings filled with top New York City finance firms — Goldman Sachs and Elliot Management to name a few. These companies are calling West Palm Beach home, and their employees are excited to relocate to South Florida.

Have you ever encountered any surprising or unexpected amenities in the homes you’ve listed...like a secret room? Basements are far and few between in Florida as we are at sea level. However, surprisingly, the closer you are to the ocean the higher the elevation. So, some homes on the Ocean have tunnels under the road to the beach and basements!

In conclusion, the South Florida market remains a haven for an ideal lifestyle, characterized by warm weather, low taxes, and a wealth of recreational opportunities. As noted earlier, the influx of financial firms has aptly earned the region the moniker “Wall Street South.” With its diversifying economy, South Florida continues to solidify its status as one of the nation’s most coveted real estate markets, showing no signs of slowing down in the near future.

Cove Club

Society staples like the Sailfish Club, Everglades Club, and Bath & Tennis Club will never go out of style, but their solitary reign is over as additional private clubs pop up all over Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. Access will cost you — if you can get in — but the (selective, sophisticated) crowd waiting on the other side of these unmarked doors is worth the price.

CARRIAGE HOUSE

The newest private establishment to hit the Palm Beach social scene, Carriage House opened in 2022 in renovated landmarked buildings on South County Road, in the heart of town but a stratosphere of its own. Rumors say membership began at $250,000 but is now somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000. Interiors are closely held — the club has a strict no-photos rule and will cover your iPhone camera with a chic sticker upon arrival — but provide a stylish wonderland for members to gather, drink, and dine.

COVE CLUB

With the only “beach” in West Palm Beach, Cove Club brings European beach-club vibes to northern West Palm Beach at the base of the new Icon Marina Village luxury apartment complex. For an initiation fee plus annual dues that will set you back about twenty grand upon acceptance, members can arrive by boat or car and enjoy a restaurant and bar that’s poolside, beachfront, and waterfront — the only space of its kind in the city — as well as regular parties and programming.

Coming in 2026, Bellini Rooftop Club at the soon-to-be-built 25-story Mr. C Hotel & Residences — a Coconut Grove transplant in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach — promises an elevated space for dining, live music, and entertainment, plus access to the hotel’s fitness facilities and resort-style pool. (The building will also house luxury condominium units and a hotel.) Membership fees are expected to be about $6,000, a much more affordable alternative to the area’s other clubs, but the application and approval process is expected to be arduous.

With no name announced yet, the social club coming to the under-construction $1 billion Nora dining and entertainment district will further elevate the long-awaited revitalization of the northern end of downtown West Palm Beach. The membership fee likely will cost around $5,000, an accessible price point for the intended patrons of the neighborhood’s trendy boutique gyms, office space, hotel, and apartments.

Where The South Florida Set Escapes The Heat

BY SKYE SHERMAN

It’s summertime and snowbirds have officially flown the South Florida coop. But where, exactly? Warmer (and cooler) climes await at these high-end destinations where you’ll find South Florida’s winter set beating the heat in style.

THE HAMPTONS

Few places make a perfect pair quite like Palm Beach and the Hamptons. Both exclusive enclaves of the wealthy and A-listed, one shines with glorious weather in the winter, with the other taking over for the summer. Expect sun, sand, and surf in both, as well as ritzy stores and in-demand restaurant reservations.

ASPEN

Après-ski in Aspen is one of winter’s best places to see and be seen, but it’s not a bad place to be caught come summertime, either. Sunny and warm with fields of flowers in full bloom, it’s an idyllic setting for hiking, mountain biking, and festivals like the popular Food and Wine Classic. Plus, you can get out on the water at Roaring Fork River via paddleboarding, kayaking, or even fly fishing.

NANTUCKET

No place screams summer quite like this tiny island off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Nantucket is insulated from the real world with shingled architecture, dune-lined beaches, charming wharves, cobblestone streets, and centuries of history. Still, even the most discerning visitors will find the restaurants and high-end boutiques up to their standards.

Those with transportation means of their own and a desire to be hidden away amongst the world’s elite head for Monaco. Plan to arrive by yacht, private plane, or helicopter to fit in with the jet set. This microstate on the French Riviera is a beautiful spot to summer, complete with events, festivals, and plenty of excuses to dress up in your finest frock. No yacht of your own yet? Try your luck at the famous Monte Carlo Casino and cross your fingers.

AMALFI COAST

It’s not summer without at least a week on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, eating your fill of fresh pasta and pizza and sipping on sweet limoncello. Village-hop between Positano, Salerno, and Sorrento for the full experience, and make sure your Prada shades won’t darken the view of the area’s gorgeous pastel-colored cliffside homes and rugged Mediterranean Sea beaches.

6 Wellness Trends to Embrace in Home Design.

In recent years, the concept of wellness has transcended traditional notions of health and fitness to encompass a holistic approach to living that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. As people increasingly prioritize wellness in their lives, this trend is also influencing home design. From incorporating natural elements to embracing technology for relaxation and mindfulness, here are some of the latest wellness trends in home design.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN

Biophilic design is all about bringing nature indoors. This trend emphasizes the use of natural materials, such as wood, stone, and plants, to create a sense of connection to the natural world. Biophilic design can include features like living green walls, indoor gardens, and large windows that offer views of nature. These elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home but also promote a sense of calm and well-being.

MINDFUL SPACES

Creating spaces that promote mindfulness and relaxation is another key trend in wellness-focused home design. This can include dedicated meditation rooms, yoga studios, or simply cozy nooks where homeowners can unwind and de-stress. Design

elements like soft lighting, comfortable seating, and soothing colors can help create a tranquil atmosphere conducive to relaxation and reflection.

SMART TECHNOLOGY FOR WELLNESS

Technology is increasingly being used to enhance wellness in the home. Smart lighting systems that mimic natural daylight patterns can help regulate circadian rhythms and improve sleep quality. Similarly, smart thermostats can create optimal indoor environments for comfort and well-being. Apps and devices that promote mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation are also becoming more popular, allowing homeowners to easily incorporate wellness practices into their daily routines.

AIR AND WATER QUALITY

Improving indoor air and water quality is a growing concern for many homeowners, especially those with allergies or respiratory issues. Design features like air purifiers, water filtration systems, and natural ventilation can help create a healthier indoor environment. Additionally, incorporating plants into the home can help improve air quality and add a touch of nature to indoor spaces.

ERGONOMIC AND ECO-FRIENDLY DESIGN

Wellness-focused design also encompasses

considerations for ergonomics and sustainability. Ergonomic furniture and layouts can help reduce physical strain and promote better posture and comfort. Eco-friendly materials and energyefficient appliances can reduce the home’s environmental impact and create a healthier living space for occupants.

PERSONALIZED WELLNESS SPACES

As wellness becomes increasingly personalized, homeowners are seeking ways to customize their living spaces to meet their specific needs and preferences. This can include features like adjustable lighting, sound systems, and temperature controls that can be tailored to individual preferences. Creating personalized wellness spaces allows homeowners to create environments that support their unique wellness goals and lifestyles.

Overall, the latest wellness trends in home design reflect a growing awareness of the importance of creating spaces that promote health, happiness, and well-being. By incorporating natural elements, embracing smart technology, and prioritizing comfort and sustainability, homeowners can create living spaces that not only look beautiful but also support their overall wellness goals.

Extensively rebuilt in 2012-13 by master builders John Hummel & Associates with design by David Netto, the beach-casual traditional home totals 8,600 sf of living space. The essence of the home begins upstairs where a generous primary suite features 270-degree views from ocean-to-bay, with sitting area, a large dressing room, and private covered balcony is found. Next there are separate library and office - one with ocean views, the other overlooking the bay. Beyond that a fantastic great room with vaulted ceilings invites one to a casual yet elegant entertaining space, all the while surrounded by spectacular water views in both directions. A formal dining room including fireplace and butler pantry with wet bar are to your left, followed by a casual family room for enjoying sunsets with a porch overlooking the bay. A true ocean-to-bay kitchen has everything a chef could want, with light and views to match. Outside an extensive deck brings you even more entertaining space with unmatched views. On the first level are six en-suite bedrooms, classic entry foyer with fireplace, gym, pool cabana, wrap-around porch, staff quarters and laundry center. An oceanside pool and spa are at ground level, with lovely gardens beyond. A private boardwalk leads you across double dunes which offer extensive protection from the seas, and out to one of the most coveted stretch of beach found anywhere in the world. On the front side of the home a regulation north/ south Har-Tru tennis court beckons for the sports enthusiast. Truly turnkey, this home is for those who appreciate only the finest in life.

Whether relaxing in a chair or planning a picnic, it’s handy to have good looking accessories that are easy to carry. You don’t want schlepping to destroy your carefree mood.
