Nestled amidst panoramic waterfront vistas overlooking the serene expanse of Sag Harbor, Osprey House embodies the epitome of refined coastal luxury. The brainchild of Heiberg Cummings’ talented designers, this architectural gem captures the essence of indulgence with its masterfully crafted open-concept layout, soaring ceilings that invite an abundance of natural light, and thoughtfully curated array of high-end finishes and materials.

“Osprey House is an opus,” declared Stacey Cohen of Saunders & Associates, the esteemed real estate agency representing this one-of-a-kind property. “It is a true celebration of Hamptons luxury that has been elevated to new heights through boundless creativity and an uncompromising attention to detail.” Osprey House offers its fortunate residents a sanctuary of tranquility and sophistication, boasting 5 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 exquisitely appointed bathrooms, and an array of meticulously curated features.

From the moment one steps inside, the home’s commitment to refined elegance is evident in every aspect of its design. Exquisite antique Turkish stone sinks and reclaimed wood accents sourced from a historic Maine barn imbue the interior spaces with a sense of warmth and character. At the same time, the seamless integration of Scandinavian and contemporary design elements creates an atmosphere of understated opulence that is both inviting and utterly captivating.

Yet, Osprey House’s allure extends far beyond its impeccably designed interior spaces. Outside, a stunning 12-by-25-foot gunite pool beckons amidst lush, meticulously landscaped gardens, offering residents a serene oasis for relaxation and alfresco entertaining.

Perhaps the home’s most remarkable feature, however, is its deep connection to the water surrounding it. Osprey House epitomizes the ultimate waterfront living on the East End, boasting an impressive 98 feet of coveted waterfront frontage and a private deep-water dock. As the homeowners, Bill and Bernt, remark proudly, “It’s like having a little slice of Portofino on the Peconic.”

The crowning jewel of this architectural marvel is undoubtedly its rooftop terrace, a veritable oasis offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape and waterways.

“This house is so exceptional,” mused Cohen. “Even the most discerning buyers cannot help but be utterly captivated by its unparalleled beauty and attention to detail.”
