$4.2M for a waterfront beach house on Lake Montauk

There’s something to be said about a beach house in the Hamptons that keeps it simple. Built in 1965, this Lake Montauk beach house provides lots of light in the living spaces and a private pathway to the beach, which, to us, is just what a beach house needs.

Standing 3,000 square feet, there are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms on 1.5 acres of land on East Lake Drive in Montauk. An open floor plan is utilized in the living and dining spaces, as well as beamed vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and direct water views. An awning-covered sundeck off the den gives some extra relaxation space.

Though the kitchen is small, there is an extended counter that could be used for prep or extra dining space. The blue backsplash is especially notable.

Outside, there’s a deck with room for dining and lounging. There’s no pool, but there is room for a pool or tennis court.

The home is offered under listing agent Chris Coleman of Saunders Real Estate for $4.2 million.
