A newly built East Hampton estate on the village fringe with both an outdoor and an indoor pool recently sold for $9.25 million — which was $255,000 above the asking price.
A custom stone and steel entry gate accesses the 10-acre property at 176 Two Holes of Water Road. A long tree-lined driveway leads to a formal motor court and a 12,267-square-foot residence with traditional details and modern elements.
The six-bedroom home with six full bathrooms and two half-baths boasts a formal living parlor, a four-season sunroom, an Italian chef’s kitchen with casual dining for 10, and a glass-walled family room.
The indoor pool is located in what’s been dubbed “Spa @ The Knolls,” with a cedar sauna, a steam shower, a wet bar, white glass by Dreamwalls, intuitive LED mood lighting, and state-of-the-art commercial-grade climate control and dehumidification. The gunite pool has a child-safe automatic cover.
The master suite has multiple sitting areas plus a large fireplace with ornate antique millwork and brass surroundings. The suite has its own roof terrace, and a two-story master bath with a walk-in closet.
The living areas are light-filled with high ceilings and offer detailed millwork and antique bronze hardware with vintage glass handles. The home also has a gym, a game room, a wine room, and a three-car heated garage.
The residence is outfitted with custom LED lighting, central vacuum on all four levels, automated Lutron lighting controls, and custom audio throughout. The grounds have a smart irrigation system.
An unfinished studio in the attic is heated/cooled.
For outdoor entertaining, there are verandas off the living and family rooms, pergola-covered spaces, and an outdoor kitchen. The property is completely deer-fenced to protect the formal evergreens and lighted specimen trees.
Additional clearing is permitted should the new owners desire a north-south tennis court.
The sellers were Robert Lewis and Jesse Reeves, and the new owner is 176 Two Holes of Water Road LLC, according to The Real Estate Report Inc. The deal closed August 10.
The listing was a co-exclusive of Laura White of Saunders & Associates and Susan Breitenbach of Corcoran.
