16 Southway Drive, Southampton, NY 11968

This breathtaking, parklike two-acre property is unique, even in Southampton's coveted Atterbury Hills. Situated at the highest point in this storied enclave, the beautifully finished and appointed home is set amid two acres of magnificent, rolling grounds with spectacular water views. Atterbury Hills, a private waterfront enclave just west of Southampton Village, was created early in the 20th century by Grosvenor Atterbury, one of the most influential architects of the burgeoning Hamptons scene. At a time when he could have chosen any location for his family's country estate, Atterbury decided to call this lovely area home, and to build a number of now-classic residences here. A century later, the rolling hills, majestic trees and winding lanes are the setting for a new chapter in Southampton's history. The grounds are lush with expanses of lawn, towering trees, understory shrubs and dazzling panoramic views of the bay and ocean beyond. Enter to open living areas that flow among a water-view living room with fireplace and a white brick wall and adjacent dining area, both with dramatic beamed ceilings. Off the dining area find the eat-in kitchen with quarry tile flooring, island with seating and stainless steel appliances including a wine cooler. Glass doors open to a spacious deck. An octagonal sunroom with quarry tile floor is especially delightful and overlooks the lawn. An office and large family room are also on the first floor. Bedrooms and baths are all bright, stylish and well appointed; two baths have sliding glass barn doors for the showers. The bedrooms are on two levels, and two have en-suite baths. There are two additional full baths. In the finished lower level is an additional bedroom, laundry room and four large closets. Outdoors relax or dine on the spacious deck and take in the water views. Enjoy the 20' x 40' heated gunite pool with brick patio; there is also a gazebo. Additional amenities include a two-car garage, and a permit for an additional large (700+/- sq. ft.) bedroom and balcony above the garage. Conveniently located just two minutes to a private beach, and minutes to Southampton Village and Hampton Bays, with great restaurants, shopping, marinas and the ocean beach in easy reach.
