Wow House: 'Private Island' Home Features Screened Living Suite, Waterfront Library

EAST HAMPTON, NY — Here's the chance to own a home with magical sunsets and panoramic views of Northwest Harbor, a virtual "private island" and the ultimate in Hamptons living.

• Address: 3 N Bay Ln, East Hampton, New York
• Price: $9,995,000
• Square Feet: 4500
• Bedrooms: 5
• Bathrooms: 5 Full and 1 Half Baths
• Built: 2004
• Features: Perhaps one of the most reclusive waterfront retreats ever fashioned in East Hampton, this pristine home is quite literally the antidote for the breakneck pace and pressure filled grit of city living. With a sweeping 250 degree panoramic view of Northwest Harbor this feels more like owning a private island than mere real estate. At dusk, the distant twinkle of Sag Harbor gives life to the sky and a magical backdrop to the horizon. Two hundred feet of ever-so-private sandy bay beach provide the launching point for every form of water sport or the much deserved (and needed) morning swim.The design of the pristine hedged garden-like pool terrace feels like it was borrowed from one of Europe's most exclusive private hotels.....which it no doubt was. Knowing that life on this light filled "private island" will be lived largely outdoors, an expansive and luxurious screened living suite becomes the heart of life here from early spring til late in the fall. (Although conceived as a romantic gesture to long conversation-filled summer nights.) The intimate waterfront library with traditional mantel and hearth adds the fourth season of perfection to what the current (and only) owners use as a year-round retreat. A rare opportunity to own on coveted North Bay......known throughout the Hamptons for its legendary sunsets. Priced at $9,995,000 with respect to this unparalleled opportunity.
