19 Century Home Located In The Heart Of The Hamptons At 75 First Neck Lane

Some homes just make you feel like you are part of a story the moment you arrive. This ten bedroom villa at 75 First Neck Lane in the Hamptons is definitely that kind of place. Honestly I found myself pausing on the front path for a second just looking up at the turret and the shingle style roof with the sun coming through the trees. You get that old world feeling but it does not feel dated at all. The owners really looked after it. The renovations done in 2007 have kept all the important details like those arched pediments and historic touches but the whole place feels fresh and bright and welcoming. It is hard to imagine a better spot in New York's Hamptons if you want both space and that sense of classic comfort.

Walk through the gardens here and you notice how well kept everything is. Stepping stones lead to the wrap around porch and it just feels easy to picture yourself pulling up a chair out there with a coffee in the morning. I actually stood by the bay window a little longer than usual because the sun seems to find its way across the floor in the entry foyer making the hardwood just glow. French doors draw you into the formal living room and you might catch yourself gazing at the mahogany furniture and the wood burning fireplace. There is a black brick trim here that makes a simple white mantel stand out even more. Sometimes in the Hamptons you see show homes that feel too staged but this feels real. It feels lived in and you can imagine big gatherings in the living areas or quiet evenings with the fire on.

That room leads into a sunroom that has a kind of soft light in the afternoon. The crown moulding on the ceiling gives it a polished look but honestly it is the easy comfort of the furniture that stands out. You can just imagine someone with a book stretched out when the weather is warm or kids running in and out to the covered patio. There is even a second living room before you arrive in the panelled dining room which is where you'd want to host those long family dinners or maybe even a few new friends from the city. I watched the light catch on the candle chandelier above what could be an eight seater table and you can imagine the conversation just flowing into the evening. The kitchen is not just for show either. You have modern appliances tucked into white cabinetry and black granite worktops that feel sturdy and smart. There is enough space at the breakfast bar for a quick morning bite and a proper butlers pantry tucked away if entertaining is your thing. On the same floor you get a library for the quiet moments and a conservatory that feels almost hidden away like in those old movies. Three guest rooms with their own en-suite bathrooms make it easy to have people over without ever feeling crowded.

Upstairs the master suite just gives you a feeling of quiet privacy. The fireplace is still there if you want a cozy night and the bathroom has those separate marble vanities that make mornings really easy. I stopped to look out from the clawfoot tub because the view across the lush green outside makes you almost forget your phone for a minute. The terrace upstairs is wide and peaceful. Sometimes you just want to bring tea out and watch the trees move in the breeze. The plot here is huge and you really notice it when you wander outdoors. There is a full gym downstairs in the basement plus a wine cellar for evenings in and a staff suite for anyone who needs extra help with day to day life.

Outside you will find a backyard that stretches out in every direction. I really like how you have space for everything from sunrise yoga to afternoons by the extra large pool and even a tennis court tucked further back. The privacy feels real here. Kids could run around or you could just hide away from the city for as long as you need. You get the classic Hamptons lifestyle yet you are close enough to everything. Main Street is not far for coffee runs or evenings out and sometimes you see neighbors out walking or kids biking past at sunset.

This is a rare piece of Hamptons real estate that balances the best of traditional style and new comfort. No two homes feel exactly the same but I can honestly say this one feels special from the moment you walk through the door. The only way to know is to come and see it.
