5 Ely Brook to Hands Creek RoadEast Hampton, NY, 11937

Escape to more than four private wooded acres in East Hampton, complete with a heated pool, private tennis court, lush landscaping and 2,500 square feet of outdoor decking. This stylish four-bedroom contemporary feels like a true retreat, yet is just minutes from East Hampton Village, bay and ocean beaches, and some of the area's best restaurants and markets. Designed for long summer days outside, move easily from a morning game of tennis to an afternoon by the pool and dinner on the deck. The recently renovated tennis court features a premium five-layer cushioned surface, offering the consistent bounce of a traditional hard court with added comfort for longer matches. Expansive decking provides plenty of space for lounging, dining and entertaining, along with a large gas BBQ. Inside, the bright, open living room features soaring 17-foot cathedral ceilings, oversized skylights and a wood-burning fireplace. Large doors open directly to the deck and pool, creating an easy flow between indoors and out. The home is furnished in a clean, minimalist style and includes photography by Gray Malin and local surfer Evan Conway. Downstairs, a comfortable media room with a projector, oversized screen and generous cloud sofa is an ideal spot for movie nights or relaxing after the beach or tennis. Four light-filled bedrooms feature hardwood floors, while recently renovated bathrooms are finished with imported British materials from Lusso Stone. Despite its private setting, everything is close by. Round Swamp Farm, Citarella and Carissa's Bakery are about seven minutes away, East Hampton Village eight minutes, and Sag Harbor roughly 15 minutes by car. Sammy's Beach is about eight minutes away, while Main Beach and Indian Wells Beach are approximately 15 minutes. Come home from the beach for a swim, a late-afternoon game of tennis and dinner on the deck, surrounded by more than four acres of wooded privacy.
