This is a classic 1950' s style (renovated) beach house on a lovely inlet off Peconic Bay called Wooley Pond.
We are situated equally between the Village of Southampton and Sag Harbour. The house is the last house on a quiet lane. It is two story's with a large open studio on the second floor.
This room has floor to ceiling windows facing the water and the sunset, black slate floors and wicker furniture. It opens onto a private sundeck where one can sunbathe.
The ground level has a large eat-in kitchen. The main bedrooms are well spaced apart, with a smaller twin bedroom next to the master bedroom (with its own door to the outside). The floors are oak, and the house has just been painted inside and out.
One bathroom has a bath and the other a shower. There is a powder room on the second floor. The outdoor shower is very private, around the back of the house, and is used all the time.
There are ceiling fans in all the rooms and window air conditions in all bedrooms. The house is very breezy and usually kept cool by the breezes off the water.
There is a lovely sunken garden with a fish pond, very private. Perfect for sitting, sunbathing, entertaining or reading.
The boathouse has a kayak that you can launch right off the dock. There is a small sandy area, from which we go swimming all summer. Or you can just dive off the dock in high tide.
The water in Wooley pond is warmer than the bay, thus suitable for swimming. The lawn is mowed by a service every week.
This is not a fancy house, just a comfortable, cozy, waterside retreat. If you want glitzy, this house is not for you.
