In Flanders, N.Y., where Long Island’s North and South Forks meet, this striking two-bedroom home–recently featured in Cottages & Gardens–belongs to noted interior designer Anthony Baratta. For $55,000, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the house, studio, and pool at 707 Pleasure Drive can be your design-immersive summer retreat. The home’s dazzling curves and angles, bright colors, and pattern details reflect the designer’s eye, and the pool and grounds offer endless opportunities for entertaining and enjoying the season.
Bold fabrics and bright colors enhance the home’s bright interior frame. Amenities like a central fireplace, endless windows in all shapes and sizes, glamorous furnishings, and central air conditioning provide effortless comfort to the 2,550-square-foot home.
In the central living room pops of pattern and color add life to neutral tones. There’s plenty of room for relaxing and gathering with 360-degree views of the surrounding greenery.
The fully updated modern kitchen is ready to serve all culinary needs. Multiple dining spaces accommodate dinner parties or dinner for one.
There are two bedrooms and two baths, and at least one fully outfitted sauna. The bright, sun-drenched master bedroom features a custom closet wall and luxurious bath.
The second bedroom also has a well-outfitted bath. Bold graphics frame the room, and windows provide sunlight.
A large deck overlooks the heated pool. Another deck around the back adds more outdoor dining space.
The second building on the property is a charming detached studio/guest house. The compact space, complete with kitchen, bathroom, sauna, and living and work space, features the same eye-catching design details as the main home.
A long, elegant drive provides plenty of parking and play space. The verdant property is sheltered by mature trees for plenty of privacy.
