Wow House: Noteworthy Gated Southampton Estate A Hamptons Retreat

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — Here's a home that captures the best of magnificent life in the Hamptons.

• Address: 5 Cameron Way, Southampton, New York
• Price: $5,995,000
• Square Feet: 4800
• Bedrooms: 5
• Bathrooms: 6 Full and 1 Half Baths
• Built: 2003
• Features: This noteworthy gated estate is ideally situated just off storied Hill Street ..... a short drive to town, yet provides a surprisingly quick and easy escape to the city. (A must for the current owner.) At the end of a hedged and resolutely private lane, this gracious shingle-style traditional has a sunken all-weather tennis court, over-sized gunite pool, wondrous first floor master suite (with private library) and an expansive lower level. The sun filled living room has a soaring coffered ceiling and traditional mantle, but be prepared to be inspired by the towering "Library Wall" befitting the media luminary for whom it was designed and built. The "live-in" kitchen boasts dual refrigerators and ovens, a dramatic (by any standard) marble center island, and plenty of room for light and airy family dining. Walk thru the double doors from every room to a covered veranda spanning the back of the house. This is where you'll spend your summer. It's regularly the site of the kind of dinner parties that make the Hamptons .......... the Hamptons. The lower level quite literally has it all: media room with wet bar, 1,000 bottle wine cellar, personal gym, game room and a picture perfect guest room featuring four custom built-in bunks .... right out of a magazine. The 1.5 acre property is lush with rolling lawns, a riot of hydrangeas and a dense framing of specimen trees that ensure complete privacy. This special Hampton's retreat is just minutes from world-class ocean beaches and charming Southampton Village.
