Description
In a Hamptons world where cookie-cutter traditionals dominate the landscape, this one-of-a-kind Victorian residence stands as a beacon of timeless charm. The Nellie Hedges House was built in 1896 and is adjacent to a 3.5-acre reserve to the west. After Nellie died at the age of 106 after occupying the house since it was built, the home was renovated in the 1980s by the Cook family, and then again by the subsequent owners. As a result, the house is a perfect combination of old charm and modern conveniences....In a Hamptons world where cookie-cutter traditionals dominate the landscape, this one-of-a-kind Victorian residence stands as a beacon of timeless charm. The Nellie Hedges House was built in 1896 and is adjacent to a 3.5-acre reserve to the west. After Nellie died at the age of 106 after occupying the house since it was built, the home was renovated in the 1980s by the Cook family, and then again by the subsequent owners. As a result, the house is a perfect combination of old charm and modern conveniences. Behind the walls lies all updated plumbing and wiring, as well as a completely updated HVAC system. Not a shortcut was taken. There are three distinct living room areas on the main floor that provide a variety of spaces for socializing and privacy. A see-thru wood-burning fireplace was perfectly installed and situated between two of these rooms adding just the right amount of warmth and charm. The lovely kitchen is perfectly proportioned with the proper amount of counter space versus storage space and just through the French doors a spacious cedar deck awaits you and your morning coffee. As you travel to the second floor, please use the endearing mahogany handrail that was perfectly measured and hand-carved just for this residence. How something so simple can be so...seductive. The three second-floor bedrooms all have walk-in closets, are brightly windowed, and are overloaded with charm, peace, and quiet. The master suite is blessed with a wood-burning fireplace making it the perfect place to be on a lovely chilly night. But the magic doesn't end at the doorstep. Venture outside into the embrace of lush gardens that could rival the secret gardens of your childhood dreams. Majestic trees, standing tall and proud, provide both shade and a sense of wonder, inviting you to explore and connect with nature in your very own sanctuary. The specimen trees that call this property home will rival The Long House Reserve (proportionally) and will be a delight to watch grow through the years to come. Here's just a taste: Tulip tree, Franklinia tree, two Japanese Stewartia trees, three mature Japanese maples (including one that is taller than the house), Silver Linden, Hornbeam, Harlequin Glorybower tree (peanut butter tree), Weeping Copper Beech, Weeping willow, and Rose of Sharon. A wonderful collection that will bring smiles for years and years to come. As your eyes adjust back down to grass level, you'll find your way back through the serene and fragrant flower garden surrounding the outdoor dining space. Just a few steps away is the BBQ and outdoor kitchen area that is perfect for handling all your summer and fall entertaining needs. And what would a complete outdoor entertaining area be without a 20 by 40 heated salt-water gunite pool surrounded by an oval-shaped 12-foot high expertly manicured private hedge? (It's rhetorical, I know your answer). Almost forgot. There also is an oversized 2-car garage for your toys, big and small. This serene property enjoys an ideal location that allows you to fully embrace the vibrant lifestyle of Bridgehampton Village. With all the conveniences of shopping, dining, and entertainment - including a Starbucks - just a stone's throw away, you'll be amazed by the proximity to the heart of the village's amenities. And new public tennis courts and a fantastic playground are just across the way. In a world of sameness, this beautifully preserved and restored Victorian charmer dares to be different, offering a lifestyle that's both elegant and unique. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history, where timeless elegance and modern comforts unite in perfect harmony.
