Marvelous Six Bedroom Home at 12 Boyesen Road, Southampton

Sometimes you come across a place that feels just right as soon as you pull up the driveway and 12 Boyesen Road in Southampton does that in its own calm way. I still remember just standing outside for a minute and letting the bay breeze hit my face while all you can really hear is the quiet and maybe the call of a sea bird somewhere. Everything feels a bit slower here. Honestly it is one of those homes where you start thinking about long summer days before you have even stepped inside.

You have this huge plot to play with out here almost one and a half acres surrounded by hedges and greenery that makes you feel like you have your own private world especially with that view out toward the Atlantic. And you are still so close to Shinnecock Bay and Taylor Creek and some of the best beaches in the Hamptons like private Southampton Coopers Beach which a lot of locals say is a favorite walk at sunset. The drive up to the house is easy with a private lane that wraps around to space where you and your guests can park right out in the open airy and no fuss. The outside shows off that classic Hamptons style. The white clapboard just pops against the dark roof and those brick chimneys look cozy even before you see the fireplaces inside.

Step through the doors and honestly you feel the light everywhere. The foyer stretches up and you cannot help but look up at the height. It gives the place this welcoming feeling that is neither too formal nor too cold. The main living spaces just pull you in. The double living room gets all this sunlight through big shuttered windows and you have views over the trees and even a peek at the water depending on the season. Sometimes with the right afternoon light everything in the room kind of glows. The dining room is formal but not fussy so you actually imagine real family dinners there or maybe some friends over for a long weekend lunch. The family or lounge area is just off to the side and it is got these wood floors with enough space for everyone to really stretch out.

The kitchen is honestly unexpected in the best way. You have got retro diner touches so it feels fun but it is serious about cooking. I love the color bursts with the orange counters and yellow accents mornings here feel cheerful even before the coffee. Real appliances too not just for show so you would actually want to cook a meal from scratch that is something I always look for. The informal dining area is right there in the kitchen and it is bright kids doing homework or friends just picking at snacks it all works.

Walk up to the bedrooms and there is a simple kind of elegance but not at the expense of comfort. Each room has its own color personality sometimes just a pop of blue or green but it keeps things interesting and homey at the same time. The big shuttered windows mean every bedroom wakes up to the light and most of them open right out onto those wide terraces. Mornings here you will catch sight of the trees moving or sometimes even a deer on the far side of the garden. If you are looking for flexible work or play spaces you will find a media room for movie nights that actually feels cozy and separate home office and gym both of which get natural light and do not feel tucked away.

Head outside and you probably will not want to leave. The paved porch leads straight to a pool in the back. It is in ground which just feels more permanent not some summer add on. Lawns stretch out from there and are edged by proper landscaping and a tall hedge so you have real privacy if you want it with just the sound of water or a few distant voices in summer. You can see the effort in the way the grounds have been set up. They are not overdone just enough to feel tidy but still green and natural.

You are in the Hamptons here but honestly it still feels simple and grounded. Coffee shops and bakeries are an easy drive and neighbors wave when you walk by. Sometimes you see kids riding bikes or people walking their dogs right after dinner.

If any of this sounds like a fit the best thing is really just to come see it for yourself because no amount of reading or talking really gets at the feeling here.
