53 Shore Road, Remsenburg, NY 11960

Tucked away behind gated privet hedges lies 53 Shore Road, a stately property that harkens back to a more genteel time when spending lazy afternoons on a wicker-chair porch and gazing out at the hydrangea and rose-filled gardens was commonplace. Built in 1929, this pristinely maintained Dutch Colonial is sure to be a calming escape from today's hectic pace.

The 4,400 +/- sq. ft. home perfectly blends Old World charm with modern amenities throughout. The showstopper is a massive stone fireplace, built from local stone, in the oversized English Country living room. The first floor also boasts a farm country kitchen, large dining room with built-ins, family room with a vaulted ceiling, full bath, and cozy breakfast area.

On the second floor you'll enjoy a well-appointed primary suite with vaulted ceiling and ensuite bathroom, two guest bedrooms with shared bath, and fourth bedroom with private bathroom. There's also a large, sun-filled office with a wood vaulted ceiling and built-in desks that easily can accommodate a gym, recreation space, or media room.

A third-floor attic provides plenty of storage space. Head outside to enjoy the bay breezes, large deck (with an awning for shade), well-manicured lawn, mature specimen trees and gardens, and heated pool with stadium stairs. Water access for kayaking, swimming, and paddle boarding is down the street, and the property is only a quarter mile to the Westhampton Yacht Squadron.

Fun factoid about Shore Road: a nearby home was once owned by playwright/lyricist Guy Bolton, who worked here with Alfred Hitchcock, Cole Porter, P.G. Wodehouse and other Broadway greats. "Anything Goes," "Anastasia," and "Psycho" were just a few of the theatrical hits that were written on this lovely street in the quaint hamlet of Remsenburg.
