HISTORIC VAN BRUNT HOME IN SOUTHAMPTON VILLAGE
A masterclass in architectural restoration and design, The Van Brunt Home is a rare convergence of timeless elegance and modern refinement. This meticulously reimagined newly built Queen Anne residence pays homage to its storied Hamptons heritage and provenance while embracing a luxurious, contemporary lifestyle. From the original, restored stained-glass windows to the serene, spa-like lower level, every square inch reflects a considered approach to scale, proportion, and materiality-delivering a home as elegant as it is artful. Gracefully sited in the heart of Southampton Village, this landmark property features 6 bedrooms, 8 full and 1 half bath across 3 thoughtfully finished levels, including a fully equipped wellness center, home theater, wine closet, pool house and detached 2-car garage. From the moment of arrival, the home reveals its quiet grandeur. A gracious entry foyer unfolds across herringbone hardwood floors, framing sightlines out to the estatelike yard and pool. Historic character is preserved and elevated through curated millwork, custom lighting, and soaring ceilings, all awash in natural light. The front of the home preserves much of the original architecture with a bright home office and ensuite junior primary bedroom; each with a bay of windows that feature the restored stained-glass trim. An additional entry foyer off the original front porch provides a charming and functional mudroom, complete with built-ins offering an abundance of storage. The rear of the home introduces a more contemporary sensibility, with open-concept living anchored by an eat-in kitchen clad in marble and custom cabinetry, seamlessly integrated with a hidden pantry and premium appliances. A warm and inviting great room adjoins, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and egress to the outdoor living spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite is a vaulted sanctuary with a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and a stunning Thassos marble bath. The second level adds three additional ensuite guest bedrooms, each offering abundant natural light; as well as a convenient second-level laundry room. The finished lower level is designed for year-round wellness and leisure, with tall ceilings and large windows that open to a stone patio courtyard. A custom wet bar, temperature-controlled glass door wine closet, and flex room perfect for a home theater or playroom, elevate the experience. Enhancing this level is an additional ensuite bedroom, and a fully outfitted fitness area with a mirrored gym, cedar sauna, massage room, and full spa bath. Conceived by a celebrated landscape designer, the grounds strike a balance of beauty and simplicity, framed by specimen trees and tall hedges providing privacy throughout. Gracefully designed, the pool-scape features include a saltwater heated Gunite pool with spa, pool house and large bluestone patio. The pool house echoes the architecture of the main home and includes a full cabana bath, wet bar, as well as an outdoor shower, while the lower level discreetly houses mechanicals to preserve the visual serenity of the pool area. A covered outdoor living room with wood-burning fireplace and adjacent al fresco dining area with full outdoor kitchen extends the home’s footprint into the landscape with quiet sophistication. A detached two-car garage sits at the end of the drive and includes an EV charging station. Every element of the restoration has been approached with care and precision-from the restored stained-glass windows and original doors to the revitalized porch-all contributing to a home that feels rooted, enduring, and wholly current. Located on a quiet village street where sidewalks lead to Main Street’s boutique shopping, dining, and cultural destinations, while world-class ocean beaches are just minutes away. The Van Brunt Home offers a rare opportunity to own a part of Hamptons history, surrounded by comfort and style, in one of the most desirable settings in the Hamptons.
