Nestled in the peaceful woods of Northwest Harbor, this East Hampton residence has undergone a complete exterior reimagining, turning the backyard into a luxurious retreat crafted for modern coastal living. The renovation enhances the natural beauty of the property while introducing sophisticated outdoor amenities designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
At the heart of the transformation is a brand-new swimming pool and spa, thoughtfully integrated into the landscape. The pool features an automatic cover for year-round convenience and safety, while the clean, modern lines of the surrounding stonework complement the home’s architectural character. The spa offers a serene escape, creating a resort-style environment just steps from the main living areas.
A generous stone patio extends from the pool zone and anchors a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Outfitted with premium Lynx appliances and wrapped in rich stone finishes, this space was designed for effortless entertaining—from summer barbecues to weekend gatherings with friends and family. The materials were selected not only for durability but also to elevate the home’s overall aesthetic, making the outdoor kitchen a focal point of the renovation.
A new deck platform provides a graceful transition from the main house down to the revitalized backyard level, improving circulation and creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Throughout the property, new outdoor lighting highlights key landscape features and architectural elements, adding depth and drama to the space while ensuring functionality well into the evening hours.
To complete the transformation, the landscape was fully reconstructed with retaining walls that re-shape and level the backyard, creating an expansive and usable lawn area ideal for play and gathering. This re-graded terrain extends the family’s outdoor living space, offering a safe and open environment for children while preserving the natural feel of the site. The final result is a balanced blend of luxury, comfort, and thoughtful design—a Northwest Harbor backyard that feels both elevated and inviting, perfectly suited to the Hamptons lifestyle.
