Coveted Ocean Access within the Village

First Offering: Positioned within the highly sought after enclave of FAIRLEA and located just south of Southampton’s world famous Gin Lane, only a handful of homes are fortunate enough to enjoy this location which share a deeded path to the Atlantic Ocean. Upon entering beyond the white gates, you feel like you are reminded of a nostalgic celebrated time of the Hamptons when this home was constructed in 1883 and was given the name Clover Top, several additions have since been made along with many upgrades to bring this house into the 20th century. Enter the first floor and the foyer welcomes with a beautiful fireplace and hand carved staircase. The oversized Living Room and Dining Room with fireplaces are designed for entertaining in every season and open to French doors through which one has access to the large sundrenched wrap-around porch with steps down to the garden and heated gunite pool. The den creates the ultimate home office with custom bookcases in between the large windows filling the room with natural light. There is a second staircase in the rear foyer leading to two en-suite bedrooms and the primary bedroom with fireplace and oversized bathroom. There is a substantial bedroom on the third floor that is 20 x14 with two full size beds. Three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms offer plenty of options for your family and guests. For staff or extended guests, a nicely renovated attached suite of rooms above the garage include a bedroom, living area, and full bathroom. The wraparound porch overlooks the expansive yard and well positioned pool while taking in sunny afternoons and ocean breezes. The cabana with outdoor shower by the rear foyer certainly comes in handy after your day at the private ocean beach. Situated within Alfred Nelson’s Fair Lea compound-one of six original cottages-this home offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Southampton’s storied past. Centrally located between beach and tennis clubs , Main Street and Jobs Lane are also just a short distance away. By appointment only.
