BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY
there are homes that simply occupy the hamptons, and there are homes that helped define them. hidden behind mature trees and approached by a long, breathtaking drive, this remarkable residence, known as the rogers/kahle carriage house, remains almost entirely concealed from church lane, revealing itself only upon arrival. set on 2.64 acres of extraordinary park-like grounds, the estate offers a rare sense of privacy just moments from bridgehampton village and the atlantic ocean. originally built in 1880 as the carriage house to one of bridgehampton′s grand gilded age estates, the structure served the country home of the rogers family and later the kahles, prominent manhattan industrialists who were among the area′s early summer residents. as bridgehampton emerged as one of america′s most coveted seaside retreats, the estate became part of its storied summer colony. though the original mansion was ultimately lost, the rogers/kahle carriage house remained. meticulously restored and thoughtfully reimagined, the original structure now lives as an extraordinary five-bedroom, five-and-one-half-bath residence where timeless character and contemporary comfort exist in perfect balance. filled with natural light and inspired by the warmth and elegance of a european country home, gracious living spaces flow effortlessly to beautifully landscaped gardens, a gunite pool, and a charming pool house, creating a setting equally suited for quiet mornings and unforgettable entertaining. some homes tell a story. this one has been writing it for nearly 150 years. bridgehampton, ny details upon request
