Elegance is defined by Merriam Webster as “refined grace or dignified propriety.” This property, listed by Gary DePersia at Corcoran, certainly fits the bill.
“Built by Lifton-Green, with architecture by Raymond Renault, interiors by David Scott and landscaping by Landscape Details, this 12,000 SF + estate, sprawling across 4.25 acres, has just about everything anyone could imagine along with western sunset views over a contiguous 34-acre reserve,” says DePersia. Located south of the highway at 150 Rose Hill Road, this lovely estate is asking $17.95 million.

The listing offers an in-depth look at just how graceful and refined this property is, inside and out:
Informed by an aesthetic that reaches across centuries while embracing the best of what’s new, a magnificent estate south of the highway in Water Mill by renowned Hampton builders/developers Lifton-Green commands 4.25 +/- manicured acres of expansive lan, flowering gardens and specimen trees joining the area elite in a most prestigious setting. Looking west over 34 acres of contiguous reserve, the estate offers timeless splendor as gracious elegance combines with stunning architectural details.
The home is lent a measure of gravitas outside by its handsome shingled style with gabled roof as well as within by the masterful, yet measured finishes executed to perfection by David Scott Interiors. A double height paneled foyer welcomes all over Carlisle old growth floors to find the sophisticated living room with fireplace, bound to be the focal point of evening soirees. The expansive state of the art kitchen with adjacent informal living room and fireplace is more than adequate to service the formal dining room, augmented by a large butler pantry.
