A gated entry opens and invites you to come up a long priveted-for-privacy drive...round the bend and into view comes the portico to a country cottage on nearly 2 plus acres of coveted Amagansett real estate within minutes to the ocean beach. A bucolic environment where the specimen trees such as Copper Beeches, lavish perennial blooms, mature plantings have long established their roots over the decades. This cedar shingled traditional country cottage exudes tremendous charm belonging to a period in time when simple pleasures such as gatherings of friends and family were the focal point of a home and the nearby ocean beach was the destination for a day's rest and fun.
