Westhampton, waterfront, 2 acres w/ tennis, dock. 15 miles from USOpen.

This warm summer home faces east over Quantuck Bay in the quiet hamlet named Quiogue between Westhampton and Quogue. This quiet neighborhood was once home to a convent and this is the main house in a 3 acre compound. We love most that it has been held by the same family for seven generations.

Great fishing, charming shops, decent vineyards, amazing fresh local produce, an LIRR train station and a vibrant town are all nearby. Perhaps best of all, it is five minutes to ocean beaches which are as beautiful as anything on the East coast.

There is a dock for your shallow draft boat and a small private beach for your wind surfer or kayak on this three acre property. There are crab nets, fishing poles, old bicycles, good books, cribbage boards, and lovely neighbors. Yes, "good" dogs are welcome. The tennis court, which was built in 1876, beckons, “Come out and play.” Beautiful custom made stationary wooden benches under an oak tree overlook the open property. It is quiet and peaceful here.

The house has five bedrooms, 3 full baths (one on suite in BR 3), 1 half bath and an outdoor shower. (2 kings, 1 queen plus a twin, 1 queen only, and 2 other twins). Two of the rooms have on suite bathrooms. The tennis court was built in 1874, two years after tennis came to the United States, making it one of the oldest in the country. It's quiet, protected, and has seen some great players and some good sports with other priorities.

Save yourselves an hour of bumper to bumper driving; it’s just as nice here as east of the canal for less money. If you want to give your kids the quintessential summer at the shore, or a house for you and your besties for the US Open, this is it.
