474 Water Mill Towd Road

This peaceful property lives like a country estate: open sky, space to wander, picture-perfect for entertaining, and room to breathe in every direction. Beyond the white gate, a sprawling green lawn rolls up to the main house, set on a gentle rise and framed by mature trees, with nothing crowding in. The extensive, sunlit backyard, with its heated pool and exceptional pool house with its own stone-pillared driveway, continues the estate feel.

A large, open foyer with a vaulted ceiling greets you as you set foot in this expanded classic Hamptons home. The long and soaring formal dining room, with windows down one side and French doors across the end, invites large, unforgettable dinner parties with ease. On summer nights, the doors open and the evening spills onto the brick terrace.

The elegant dining room flows into the great room, where whitewashed beams cross the cathedral ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace anchors one wall, and an arched window over French doors fills the room with light and views of the grounds. The kitchen is bright and sunlit, with a skylight overhead, a window over the sink looking out to the garden, a stainless gas range, slate floor, glass-front cabinets, and plentiful storage. It opens onto a wooden deck, ideal for grilling, relaxed outdoor dining, and lounging overlooking the pool area.

Easy single-story living continues down a quiet hallway to the bedrooms. The primary has a beamed, vaulted ceiling, whitewashed paneled walls, an original stone fireplace, and an en-suite bath. Two guest bedrooms share a bath, plus there is a laundry room off the primary and additional laundry in the unfinished basement.

The airy pool house, fronted by a wisteria-covered pergola, has 520+/- square feet with wide-plank pine floors, carriage doors, a kitchenette, a full bath, a loft, and its own central air conditioning and heat. With abundant space, it also works as an artist's studio, an office, and a place for guests to settle in. The heated pool is made for long summer afternoons, while the shed with a cupola and the outdoor shower with changing room complete the picture with vintage beach club charm.

The generous backyard is fully fenced, the house has a full-house generator, and the home has a strong rental history. The substantial acreage, with grandfathered clearing in place and a thoughtful layout, allows for expansion, up or out.

Set in Southampton on sought-after Water Mill Towd Road, the property is just a short drive by scenic back roads from bay and ocean beaches, farm stands, and neighboring villages.
