Found in the Dunes of Amagansett, this quintessential beach cottage was constructed circa 1960 by the renowned East Hampton Architect, Alfred A. Scheffer. Its classic coastal aesthetic is not only priceless, but few properties within the Dunes compare to this property's size, versatility and location. First owned by the famous playwright, Neil Simon, this property is home to inspiration and creativity. During ownership, his first three notable plays were written, including "The Odd Couple", affording Mr. Simon a Tony Award. Hidden on a rare .60-acre parcel you will discover the main cottage, a detached recreation building and an oversized 2-car garage. The main cottage provides two guest bedrooms with shared bath and set all on its own, a spacious primary ensuite bedroom with private sitting deck. Natural light bathes the spacious open main living space by way of its vaulted ceilings with south facing skylights and its majestic wood burning fireplace, a signature of the home's creator and a warm welcome after a brisk beach walk on a cool autumn evening. The spacious kitchen adjacent to dining area and outdoors to the deck and lawn, is ideally positioned to entertain. Summer BBQ's and alfresco dining under the stars with the sounds of the sea in the air is what living in the dunes is all about. Meander outside and the story continues. A roofed over brick walkway leads you to the bonus recreation building. A fantastic space for a gym, art studio, home office and cozy quarters for extended-stay guests. The detached 2 car garage has ample room for two cars and every beach toy imaginable. The property as a whole is magical, highlighted with stacked stone walls, low maintenance natural landscape and space, a rare dunes commodity. Embrace sand in your shoes with deeded beach access as a member of the Amagansett East Association; an exclusive homeowner's association of the Dunes and one of the most sought-after Private beach communities on the east end. Amagansett is considered a seaside utopia where the excitement of the surf and the serenity of sunset blend so seamlessly. Its beaches are vast and beautiful, and it is one of the most alluring hamlets on the east end with a lovely village square, shopping, art galleries, coffee and cheese shops, the legendary music venue at the Stephen Talkhouse, plus great restaurants.
