Welcome to the March issue of Hamptons Real Estate Showcase. Spring has always been one of my favorite seasons, because it means that summer is not too far of. Even with the mild winter we’ve enjoyed this year, I’m always ready for summer.

Featured on this month’s front cover, Lori Schiafno of Compass presents a timeless Hamptons beauty on Main Street in Wainscott. Custom crafed by master designbuilder Jefery Collé, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece features bespoke items sourced from travels of Collé throughout Europe. Designed for entertaining, this home includes fve bedrooms and generously oversized formal rooms, each with access to sundecks and terraces bringing the natural sunlight throughout. All of this just a mile from the beach and minutes to the best in local dining and entertaining.

Technology has given us the freedom to maintain our homes from anywhere in the world. Tis being our tech issue, we asked Annie Sisk to fnd us a few of the latest trends in smart home technology. For more on tech, check out Kelli Delaney Kot’s At Home, for the latest and greatest in gadgets, gifs and gizmos.

Also in the issue, designer Alec Holland gets a special request to transform a client’s lower Manhattan lof into a traditional Paris fat. Te fnal look is nothing short of parfait. Be sure to check out Alice Phillips’ Marketwatch for a look on what’s really going on in the Hamptons real estate market. Something most of us don’t think of when it comes to home design are light switches. Hannah Selinger’s “Consider the Light Switch,” tells us why it’s a design feature we really shouldn’t ignore. Regarding light, Beverly Stephen takes us shopping for some beautifully designed cordless lamps...no more looking for the nearest outlet! Also, don’t miss Karen Dash’s Realty Check, for hot new listings and a look at several recently sold properties, and Dawn Watson’s Hampton Habitués, for some good news gossip about our notable East End friends and neighbors.

Enjoy
