A home in East Hampton’s Northwest Woods boasts a unique contemporary look by the noted architect Alfredo De Vido, which was inspired by the “prairie style” designs of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Listed for $5,500,000, the house at 8 North Bay Lane features inwood and stone finishes, horizontal lines, and sleek, geometric architecture that is integrated with the natural landscape.
Deirdre Jowers and Dorothy Zeidman of The Corcoran Group represent the listing, which is a two-acre property that feels like a private sanctuary.
The main living spaces all include intricate slatted woodwork and moldings, reminiscent of Wright, an architectural style that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by its strong horizontal lines, open floor plans and melding it into the environment.
It begins with an entryway with a cathedral ceiling, leading to an expansive front-to-back living room with walls of glass, a stone fireplace, a covered rear porch, a formal dining room featuring custom bar shelving and a chef’s kitchen equipped with banquette seating, another fireplace, and garden views. A walk-in pantry can be found nearby.
There is also a windowed library or den.
A separate first-floor wing features another guest bedroom and a sunlit loft studio all under vaulted ceilings and skylights. It also offers a wood-burning stove and plenty of built-ins.
Up on the second floor, two split primary suites boast fireplaces, balconies and en suite bathrooms. There is also a third en suite guest room.
The home is also equipped with a sauna and a three-car garage.
Outside, multiple entertaining areas include a pergola overlooking a 50-foot infinity-edge heated pool with a lower-level lap lane and adjacent spa. A seating area also overlooks an expansive and lushly landscaped koi pond, situated within the fully fenced-in property. Mature pine trees further enhance the feeling of privacy within the 516-acre Grace Estate Preserve, which offers trails, wooded groves and scenic views of Gardiner’s Bay and Northwest Harbor.
There is also a direct path to the bay beach nearby.
