THE BEACH HOUSE

BROOKE GOODE

Principal interior designer and architect Thierry Despont is well known for creating luxurious spaces that blend comfort and warm sophistication. So when his clients decided to renovate their oceanfront haven, they called on him to elevate the already lovely home. “Imagine moving into a turnkey oceanfront residence by none other than Thierry Despont, the French architect and interior designer involved with such storied properties as the Carlyle Hotel,” asks preeminent listing broker Tim Davis of Corcoran. “Sequestered on nearly 1.5 acres, 180 feet of pristine Atlantic Ocean, this stunning Montauk hideaway awaits its new chapter at the end of a longgated drive.” 

​

“This is one of the most extraordinary houses in the Hamptons, thanks to its incredible location,” says Thierry Despont. “With Daryl and Steve, we have completely transformed the original house to be the most unique beach house in the Hamptons. We created a double-height living room with a wooden ceiling reminiscent of the hull of a wooden boat. When you are in the house, you feel on the edge of the world, miles away from the bustle of Manhattan connected to nature.”

​

From the moment you enter this iconic beach house, it’s all about the views. The double-height great room with a wall of clerestory windows floods the room and illuminates throughout while allowing one to soak in the water views. Oversized sliding doors open up to an oceanside deck where one can enjoy alfresco living with the beguiling ocean breeze. Every room of the three-bedroom, four-bath estate is strategically placed to enjoy the endless captivating ocean views. Luxurious with understated elegance, the home features custom cabinetry, beautiful wood floors, high-quality finishes, and appliances.
