Property Showcase – The Raphael Avigdor Team

The most exciting phrase of the summer isn’t always, “free beach access” or “fresh lemonade.” Instead, it’s when we hear the promising two words of “new construction.” These three newly built homes (nicknamed Triple Delight) are reminiscent of legendary literary houses, winding paths that lead to whimsical, yet modern, splendors, and even extra touches that seem to be right out of your own dreams. Check out these three ideal homes, and get ready to float away to your very own cloud nine.

471 Middle Line Highway
Sag Harbor
$4.995 million
Sequestered deep in the woods, the 6.5-acre property can only be accessed by a winding half-mile driveway. Despite its remote setting, it is only five miles from both Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton commercial centers. The scale of the eight-bedroom house is grand indeed, starting with the spacious double-height entry foyer with its view through the house to the pool and continuing to the coffered great room, which flows around a central fireplace into the sprawling den and kitchen. let’s not forget the potential for home theater and gym in the expansive finished lower level with 2 staff bedrooms and 1 and a one half baths.  With a three-car garage the property also boasts room for tennis.
The builder spared no expense – from thick Carerra marble kitchen countertops and a humongous double-door Sub-Zero fridge with four freezer drawers to high quality paneling and trim work throughout. Small but crucial touches include custom cabinets with soft touch technology (to retract easily) and frameless glass shower surrounds. The 25’ x 50’ pool comes with a spa and waterfall.

500 Great Hill
Southampton
$3,495,000
Still under construction, the site is under the constant scrutiny of second-generation builder Peter Curto who says, “I’m here every day.” On a recent tour he proudly pointed out extra touches required by his ambitious standards. The cedar-shingled six bedroom/6.5 bath transitional home on one acre boasts a double-height entryway, formal living and dining rooms, chef’s kitchen and two master suites on the main floor and upstairs. The finished lower level includes a grand open media room with one staff bedroom and a full bath. Expansive mahogany decking leads to the 18’ x 44’ heated Gunite pool with bluestone surround.

45 Moses Lane
Southampton Village
$6,950,000
Though it feels as if it’s been situated on the tree-bedecked village street for a century or so, Cavallo Building Company workmen are hammering in the final nails on this village compound. The nearly one-acre estate contains a splendid main house boasting 5,700 square feet above ground and another 2,500 in the stylishly appointed lower level, a spacious (1,355-square-foot) guest cottage and handsome pool house with bath and wet bar – all surrounding a 44’ x 20’ pool and spa with bluestone surround. Features include a great room with large fireplace, detailed built-in cabinetry, formal dining room with coffered ceiling, private library/den, and oversize French doors. The impressive lower level with ten-foot ceilings contains a wine cellar, gym, media room, sauna and bedroom/bath. Special touches such as v-board paneling in the mudroom give this sophisticated construction a “country chic” feel according to James Peyton, an agent on Avigdor’s team. He sweeps his hand around the one-bedroom guest house with its great room with fireplace and French doors leading to a private bluestone patio behind. “It reminds me of Nick Carraway’s cottage,” he says, referencing The Great Gatsby narrator.
