If you’re looking for all the charm of a country cottage with the space and grandeur of a manor house, this is the spot for you. It’s a four-minute stroll to the vast stretch of sand at Long Beach and a six-minute drive sees you in the heart of the pretty village of Sag Harbor. Or, you could while away the days in the privacy of the leafy-green backyard. Out here, you’ve got a pristine swimming pool set in the wooden deck and a shower to wash sandy feet after a trip to the beach.

Inside, it’s a mix of crisp white walls and ink-black accents. Gabled, white-wash ceilings give that country cottage aesthetic and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the place with sunlight. Boho beanbag chairs and pot plants add a rustic touch to the living room and the sleek, modern kitchen is fit for gourmet meals. Underfloor heating in the plush bathrooms is another nice touch.
