House proud
Built in 2020, this Mattituck home offers the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living, with expansive views over the Peconic Bay. Situated in the Salt Lake Village community, it is among homes that share a design aesthetic of “charming capes and expanded capes,” says Bridget Elkin, the Compass agent who is listing the property. This home has echoes of both a New England cape and a farmhouse.
“This is a very special, unique home association that straddles between quaintness and an understated elegance,” Elkin says. The association has a limited footprint, so this home — the newest in the community — is a rare offering.
What’s the plan?
The first floor features a vaulted ceiling with exposed and painted wood beams and paneling. A gas-fueled fireplace anchors the open living area, which also features long seating bunks and water views out all the windows. A custom sliding door offers seamless flow through to the deck. Three bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, are on this level.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom features two balconies with bay views and one with a seating area — and a 100-square-foot custom walk-in closet. All the bathrooms are finished with Carrara marble and custom oak vanities.
What’s cooking?
Presenting an open format, the kitchen is outfitted with appliances by Wolf, Thermador and Bosch, and quartz counters atop of custom-colored cabinetry. The long center island has a prep sink and waterfall counter and can seat up to five. The primary sink is porcelain and in the farmhouse style.
What else?
While this home has its own beach, it also affords access to the association’s private beach. Seating areas on the deck, lawn, fireplace area and beach offer multiple mini venues for gathering or quiet time. The property has been professionally landscaped with low-maintenance and native plants and designed so there’s always something in bloom, Elkin says.

One cool thing
The origins of this home were a traditional beach shack from the 1940s, typical of the old North Fork.
Agent’s callout
“It does a good job of paring back to old world charm, while being a completely modern home,” Elkin says.
Location, location, location
Perched at the edge of an inlet that opens into the bay, the home is less than two miles to the village of Mattituck. It’s just shy of half a mile to Veterans Memorial Beach park, which offers swimming, bocce, shuffleboard and a horseshoe pitch, and the Walter P. Sabat Baseball Facility, home of the Mattituck Mets, winners of the National Junior League Baseball Regional Division Championship this year. The area boasts a number of marine-related activities such as sails and fishing charters.
