One of my favorite pastimes is to peruse the web and my design magazines. If I have a lucky day, I run across a home that just seems too good to be true and I end up 'storing" it away in my little black book of references for future work in clients' homes or in my own.

Resting on 1.2 acres on the coveted Highway Behind the Pond, this turn of the century East Hampton  estate is just a short walk from the beach and has views of Hook Pond and the Maidstone Club.

Fine millwork details, wide-plank wood floors and a clean, modern feel is evident throughout the six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, gourmet kitchen, master wing and guest cottage. 
The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with gleaming Viking appliances and a spacious island with a wine fridge tucked underneath. 
The master suite requires its own wing and comprises a fireplace (one of four in the home), private office, spa bath, powder room, pond-view balcony and gym. 
Outside these lavish walls you’ll find lush, rolling greens, a pool area and outdoor living room appointed with pillowy white couches, a fireplace, dining area and barbecue grill. 
With options such as these, deciding whether to spend the evening indoors or alfresco could be quite the task.
