Nestled in a copse of trees, this fabulous home packs on the wow factor with striking good looks and a bold all-white interior. Just a short drive from Bridgehampton and the pristine Atlantic beaches, it's the ideal country retreat if you enjoy the finer things in life. Take a morning dip in the pool, or just relax with a coffee on the expansive deck, while those with a musical gift can sit down at the piano in the living space. Nearby, explore historic museums in Water Mill, and return home with local produce from the market for an evening barbecue. With your holiday soundtrack on the Sonos speakers, grab a bottle from the wine cooler and settle down on the lounge chairs outside to admire a perfect Hamptons sunset.
