Brown Harris Stevens lists a new Georgian-style East Hampton estate which was meticulously designed by a very prominent New York design team acting as their own client (the head of architecture and design group at Parish-Hadley & prominent interior designer whose projects include several U.S. embassies).
The house has been published in several international publications and will be featured in a book to be published by Abrams on Parish-Hadley this fall. Known as "Hertenhof" (Deer Court), it is located in the Grace Estate on 6+/- acres and was diligently completed in 2001 by master builder, Dick Swanson. The Grace Estate dates back to the early 20th century when the W.R. Grace family purchased a large swath of land that had been home to one of the oldest settlements on Long Island. Though the Terry and Kirk family farms have long disappeared, much of the Grace property has been preserved. The enclave offers privacy, yet it is just minutes from a wonderful bay beach and from East Hampton Village."Hertenhof" is an exceptional house, particularly for the customer seeking a well-designed and executed house with great attention to detail extended throughout, and with all of the amenities of today in a lovely private setting.
The floor plan includes an enfilade of grand public rooms including a spacious living room with fireplace, dining room, and den/garden room, all of which face the lawns and pool at the rear of the house. Other rooms on the main floor include a gracious entrance foyer with double-height ceiling and fireplace, kitchen with marble counter tops, a two-bedroom suite with bath and large dressing room, a bar off of the foyer, half-bath, a laundry room and pantry. The second floor includes a master bedroom suite with fireplace, two guest bedrooms, and an office. The sixth bedroom, accessed by a separate staircase, is located over the two-car attached garage. Other features are a 20 x 40 ft. heated gunite pool, pool house, and a full basement with work-shop.
