House proud
Built in the 1930s as a North Fork cottage, this home has been rebuilt and reimagined over the years. It is being offered by its owners who oversaw creative renovations over their 40 years of residence, including a studio and home office with build-ins, and bedrooms, including a primary bedroom and bath.
“This is an experiential house with a lot of personality with every room thoughtfully planned,” says Kate DiGregorio, the Corcoran agent listing the property. “The owners designed it as, and think of it as, their treehouse.”
What’s the plan?
The home has been rebuilt in an “upside down” format with four bedrooms on the ground level and the common areas on the top floor so as to maximize the “treehouse” feeling. The 160-square-foot ensuite primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a separate study. The other three bedrooms—all about the same size at 155 square feet—share a full bathroom. There is also an attached workshop on this level, accessed from the stone patio. The second floor offers generous spaces in an open format that includes two living/family rooms. Two sides of the house offer access to three terraces. The basement level art studio has an egress window, is accessed by Bilco doors.
What’s cooking?
The 168-square-foor galley kitchen is adjacent to a 96-square-foot breakfast room with two accesses to terraces.
What else?
The home makes use of and integrates natural materials throughout, from the copper fireplace hearth and burled-wood paneling to brick patios and the flagstone foyer fall. Numerous build-ins such as bookshelves and window seats maximize the space.

One cool thing
The garden is enclosed by open lattice-styled partitions that offer privacy and separation but without feeling walled in.
Agent’s callout
“They designed the home making sure every area was intentionally used and connected to the landscape,” DiGregorio says, adding that equal attention was paid to the exterior. “The owners focused on the garden and being in nature.”
