Dutch Colonial Home In The Hampton 92 Coopers Neck Lane

Some homes just have a certain presence before you even cross the path to the front door. This Dutch Colonial villa at 92 Coopers Neck Lane in the Hamptons, honestly, it made me stop and look up at the old Doric columns for a bit thinking about all the stories these walls must have heard. The moment you step inside you get a real sense of lived in comfort and tradition that feels both easy going and grand at the same time. It is not the sort of place you breeze through. You want to wander and maybe even linger at the foyer, where the contrast of dark ebony hardwood and soft yellow and white walls makes the vintage fireplace really pop out. I noticed the light changes in here throughout the day. Sometimes it is bright and welcoming with big single hung windows letting in garden views and other times you get a kind of cozy old school feeling in the evenings.

You actually feel history here. The whole place was built back in the late nineteenth century by Judge Mason and has that classic Hamptons Dutch Colonial shingle style, though it has changed a bit through the years, thanks to owners like Joanne Guardiola the well known designer. The great room is probably where you will find everyone gathering. I think the ten foot ceilings make the whole area breathe a little bigger and there is this nice mix of shabby chic and traditional. The neutral colors help everything feel calm and grounded. There is even a bay window spot that looks made for flopping down with a book on lazy weekends. You see cardinals and robins sometimes too. Every window actually frames these wide open glimpses of a manicured garden that feels like the kind of place where kids and dogs can just run without care.

Coming around to the dining room you get this old world feeling that makes you want to plan long dinners and maybe noisy family events. The cherry wood table practically glows at sunset. Fourteen seats. I noticed how the fireplace and those unusual handmade lights make it inviting but not stiff. Plus, the kitchen is more than picture perfect. It is a spot meant for real life and real food. There is a traditional vibe here, but it feels flexible, with a butlers pantry, custom cabinets and clean marble counters. You could actually host a Thanksgiving or just lazy Sunday breakfast and it would not feel like too much work. Even the appliances do their job quietly in the background. Three guest bedrooms are right here on the main floor, so friends and family can drop in and feel right at home.

But wait until you see downstairs. There is a real wine cellar hidden away and the private movie theatre honestly surprised me. I do not know many places where you can gather twenty people to watch a film right at home and it still feels intimate. You start thinking of rainy days or football nights with everyone tucked in.

Upstairs is this, well it feels almost like its own world. The master suite is lined with vintage style design that does not try too hard. The bathroom though, wow. Two separate baths and dressing spaces. Even the light is just right for getting ready in peace. There are three more bedrooms and a den up here plus a media room and a study. I also liked the tiny family touches. There is a spot that would be perfect for working from home and if you go up again the third floor has the most peaceful office space. The view of the ocean from there is just what you need on a busy morning or whenever you want a quiet moment.

The estate sits on over four acres so there is no shortage of room for every kind of outdoor fun. The porch stretches out and the pool is almost calling out on those humid Hamptons afternoons. It is fifty feet long, heated and next to a paved deck that just invites you to put your feet up and watch the sun go down. All the way at the edge there is a proper tennis court. Honestly it feels like one of those places where weekends just slow down. You might spot kids racing bikes or hear nothing but leaves in the breeze. There is also a library for quiet days, an exercise room that works for all routines and a separate apartment for staff or extra guests, still kept private from the main home.

If you are searching for a Dutch Colonial estate in New York with a panoramic view and a place you can truly grow into, this villa in the Hamptons is worth seeing. The pictures only tell so much honestly. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it yourself. Walk around, listen to the quiet, maybe picture your next chapter here.
