4 Bedroom Charming 300 Murray Place Summer Cottage in Southampton, NY

There are some homes that just help you breathe out a little as soon as you walk up the path. Honestly I got that feeling right away at this four bedroom summer cottage at 300 Murray Place in Southampton. The approach is lovely on its own with this classic arched gate set into a white picket fence then the lawn is trimmed soft underfoot if you take your shoes off. You follow the paved path and already you can smell the nearby beach air if the wind is right and sometimes all you really hear are birds and the distant hum of summer.

The cottage itself sits right in the heart of the Murray Compound in the Hamptons. It is not an old house really it was finished only about 25 years ago but it feels rooted because of the way they built it. The place has those traditional shingle cottage vibes the ones you see in old photos around Southampton Village and honestly it almost reminds you of visiting a friend's house when you were younger. The whole plot is a full acre which is rare for the area. There is this big sweep of lawn and the landscaping feels like someone really cared about getting every piece in the right spot not too fussy at all.

As you step inside everything is kind of divided into two sides joined by this central entry and the first thing you notice is how much relaxing light comes in. The great room is on one side and it feels like a proper gathering space. I actually sat on the sofa for a bit and just watched how the sun came through those big single hung windows. There is a fireplace ready for a late autumn evening and the whole space is finished in these soft pastel shades with Victorian style armchairs and floral pillows that break it up without trying too hard. It is one of those rooms where you can put your feet up and read for a few hours or maybe doze off to the sound of the wind in the trees.

There is a second living area too. Also full of light and similar old school decor with its own fireplace. When you walk through those French doors you get to a dining area set inside what's really a solarium. The roof feels far above you with vaulted ceilings and wooden beams that are almost like an art piece on their own. It would be an amazing spot for slow weekend breakfasts while you look out over the yard. Maybe someone is starting up the tennis court for a morning rally just beyond the glass.

The kitchen surprised me. You walk in expecting more country styling but it is super clean white everywhere on the cupboards and counters with just the stainless steel of the stove and dishwasher to set things off. Appliances are all basically brand new so you get this quiet modern confidence without taking away from the feeling of the cottage. The kitchen is big enough to cook a full meal for a group and even has the laundry sorted in a way that is tucked in not taking over the space. When you open the back door you come right out onto the patio and it feels effortless going from inside coffee to outside sunshine.

Each of the four bedrooms carries that soft traditional mood but nothing feels heavy or cluttered. Quiet fabrics low key color here and there and sunlight everywhere you look. When you wake up here you almost forget your phone just listening to the breeze. There is plenty of space for family or friends on summer weekends. The way the property is set up people can spend time together or just find their own corner to relax if it has been a long day.

Stepping out back I probably spent more time than I meant to just walking around. The backyard is huge compared to most around Southampton. There is a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by these gardens that make you want to pick up a book and stay for hours. Further out you will find a tennis court with real space to play and sometimes you can hear the laughter echoing well after sunset. It is a kind of place where you start to imagine lazy barbecues by the water outdoor dinners at golden hour and late evening swims under the stars.

Plus the location is just easy. You are close to the water and not far from coffee or a casual stroll through the village. Sometimes you see neighbors waving as they walk their dog or kids on their bikes. It is friendly but you also feel like you have your own private corner of the Hamptons to enjoy every season.

It is almost impossible to get the feeling of this Southampton cottage just through words. The only way to know if it fits your life is to come see it for yourself. Reach out anytime or just say hi if you want to walk through. At LuxuryProperty.com we want your next move to feel easy and real.
