Words By: B. Orwell
In the quiet lanes of Amagansett, amidst the charm of its historic community, 109 Hand Lane stands as a masterpiece of timeless design and modern living. Designed with extraordinary care and attention to detail, this newly completed 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom, and 3-half-bath residence spans an impressive 10,000 square feet, including its meticulously crafted lower level. It is a property that has been built not just to exist, but to feel as though it has always belonged to the land it graces.
Positioned on .66 acres of prime land, the home’s location is its first triumph. Tucked away from the summer bustle, it offers unparalleled tranquility while being mere minutes from the town, the beach, and the bay. Its placement on a quiet road ensures privacy and peace, yet the vibrant heart of Amagansett remains effortlessly accessible, whether by foot, bike, or a short drive. Gardiner’s Bay, with its secluded beaches and historic charm, provides an idyllic sanctuary, offering the feeling of stepping back in time.
For current owners and developers Fouad and Phillip Chartouni , the thoughtful placement of the home was paramount. “We were very conscious of exposing it to as much sun as possible,” they explain, adding, “Its orientation and location on the land were crucial to creating the courtyards and allowing multiple functions without people being on top of each other.” This foresight is evident in the property’s distinct outdoor spaces, including a cobblestone courtyard flanked by fountains and specimen trees. The lush grounds also feature an outdoor mahogany shower and locker room, a grilling station and outdoor kitchen enclosed in rich mahogany, and connected propane gas fire pits on the patio. Whether hosting a summer soirée or enjoying a tranquil evening by the fire, every detail has been designed with outdoor living in mind.
Inside, the home masterfully balances the grandeur of tradition with the comforts of contemporary living. At the heart of the property is a great room with a hand-built Bravo limestone wood-burning fireplace, soaring ceilings, and vistas that frame the pool and gardens beyond. The chef’s kitchen is both a functional workspace and a design showpiece, boasting Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, dual wine coolers, and radiant heat flooring. Upstairs, a second-floor service cabinet with a mini-bar and coffee station ensures every convenience is within arm’s reach.
The primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, with a Thassos Striato marble-clad bathroom featuring a Victoria & Albert bath and Dornbracht fixtures. Guest bathrooms are equally impressive, with Bianco Dolomitti marble on the second floor and Calacatta Michelangelo marble in the lower-level suites. “We worked to unify many materials that fit well in both a modern and classical home,” Phillip Chartouni notes. “It’s a marriage of craftsmanship that you rarely see today.”

Flow is a cornerstone of the home’s design philosophy. A premium oversized elevator connects the residence’s levels, offering easy access to the mudroom, garage, and primary bedroom, all enhanced by Nero Maquina marble flooring. The lower level is a testament to thoughtful luxury, with 10- foot ceilings, a billiards room and wine room with custom glass and metal doors imported from Austria, and radiant heat flooring throughout. A designated staff staircase ensures seamless movement between the kitchen, garage, and service areas, making the home as practical as it is beautiful.
The property’s outdoor amenities elevate it to the extraordinary. A heated 45×20 gunite pool with a retractable cover is the centerpiece of a backyard designed for leisure and entertainment. Adjacent, a two-story pool house spans 2,000 square feet, complete with a movie theatre, lounge, bar, gym, and office with a terrace overlooking the pool. Outdoor speakers and Wi-Fi ensure the property is as connected as it is serene.
Constructed with resilience in mind, the home features a double-strapped roof to withstand winds up to 160 mph, a generator for uninterrupted power, and a nitrate septic system for modern environmental compliance. Even the twocar garage has been meticulously designed, with slate floors and enclosed mechanics allowing for easy conversion into additional living space.
Perhaps what sets 109 Hand Lane apart most is its respect for its surroundings. “We wanted the house to feel as though it’s always been there,” says Phillip Chartouni. “The neighborhood has a strong appreciation for traditional homes, and this design honors that heritage while incorporating modern amenities.” That respect has not gone unnoticed. As Fouad Chartouni proudly recalls, “Even a neighbor who was initially concerned about construction had tears in her eyes when she saw how the home turned out. She told me, ‘I did not expect to see such respect for the neighborhood.'”
109 Hand Lane is a harmonious blend of history, modernity, and thoughtful design. Its timeless elegance honors Amagansett’s classical architecture while meeting the expectations of contemporary living, creating a home that is both rooted in history and poised for the future.
