Surrounded by park-like grounds, including a pool, this Arts & Crafts-style Hamptons home at 471 Hill Street originates from 1910, and just emerged from a two-year-long renovation. Known as Wayside, the property was originally an artist’s studio, and its original layout, centered around a sprawling loft space with a beamed ceiling, is its most stunning feature. Asking $7,450,000, this unique home offers details like a massive stone fireplace, Arts & Crafts-style windows, a long, tree-lined driveway, and gorgeously landscaped grounds.
The home was originally designed by Aymar Embury, a noted architect known for the Central Park Zoo, the East Hampton Guild Hall, and the Maidstone Club, as the private studio of painter Marshall T. Fry. A complete renovation, completed in 2022, yielded a new foundation, new mechanicals, and a new roof. Thoroughly re-imagined interiors designed by Jetsam Studio surround original decorative details like hardwood floors.
The central studio is a stunning, loft-like space, filled with light and divided into zones for living, dining, and entertaining. Soaring ceilings feature exposed beams and dramatic light fixtures.
The open eat-in kitchen offers custom millwork and stone worktops surrounding state-of-the-art appliances. Stone flooring gives the space warmth and a solid, organic foundation in keeping with its origins.
A few steps down from the main space, an intimate sunken lounge offers a wet bar. Also on the home’s main floor: A compact bedroom suite, a mudroom with laundry, and a powder room.
On the second floor, you’ll find the spacious primary suite. Highlights include a Juliet balcony, a luxurious en-suite bath, and capacious closets.
The home’s lower floor offers two more bedroom suites (one with a fireplace), and a media room with a fireplace and a wet bar. Also down here are a second laundry room and a wine storage room.
Set back from the road, accessed by a long driveway, the home is surrounded by privacy-enhancing hedges, old-growth trees, a parterre garden, and plenty of outdoor seating. A heated 50-foot gunite pool and two parking courts make it a perfect setting for grand-scale summer entertaining.
