House for sale, 50 Gin Lane, in Southampton, United States

Positioned along the south-side of Gin Lane near the intersection of South Main Street lies this early carriage house originally part of the "Meadow Beach" Henry M. Day estate situated between Gin Lane and the Atlantic Ocean encompassing nearly 10 acres. Purchased by world-renowned artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1970 who embarked on several additions to the main structure altering the exterior architecture and expanding the footprint and in addition, building a separate detached artist studio with an adjoining 2-car garage. What remains today is an enchanting house with three levels and walls of glass that open to terraces, decks and balconies some of which provide a view of the ocean and all of which provide for an opportunity to hear the surf and breath in the salty sea air. Five bedrooms in total and nearly 6000 square feet and a thoughtful floor plan on three levels provide privacy and comfort while viewing the outdoor landscapes, garden and great lawn. The land is nearly two acres with mature cypress, umbrella pine and cryptomeria trees which stand at attention at the original estate entry gate. The perennial gardens surrounding the home are extraordinary as are the exposed tree trunks surrounded by the Hostas gardens. The beach access is unique via a private pathway that opens onto the Dune and miles of pristine Atlantic Ocean beach. This property offers lifestyle expansion possibilities as well as room for a large swimming pool and tennis court. This is truly a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity.... Just coming to market .
