From the moment you step onto the boardwalk that leads across the dunes to the Atlantic, it’s clear that 167 Dune Road in Bridgehampton, listed by Saunders & Associates, is more than just another Hamptons house. Set on nearly three acres with a wide stretch of ocean frontage, the shingle-style home combines traditional charm with the needs of modern luxury living.
Built in 1994 and recently listed for $42.5 million, the 4,200-square-foot estate captures the East End’s long-standing love for coastal architecture. Its weathered shingles and pitched roof reference history, while the large windows and open living spaces focus the house on the sea. From the kitchen and living room, expansive glass doors offer uninterrupted views of both ocean and bay.
Inside, the layout is spacious but not showy. The primary suite includes its own sitting area and terrace, a private perch to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. Four additional en-suite bedrooms provide room for guests, while common areas, from the open kitchen to the living room, are made for entertaining.
Outdoors, the amenities extend well beyond the beach. A heated pool, cabana with wet bar, outdoor shower, and wide deck create plenty of space for summer gatherings. The setting, with its distance from neighbors and unobstructed horizon line, gives the property a rare sense of privacy for this stretch of shoreline.
Dune Road has long been known as a top area for real estate in the Hamptons, a narrow piece of land where homes demand some of the highest prices on the East End. In this context, 167 Dune Road is both typical and unique: it offers the classic features — beach access, shingle style, sweeping water views — while sitting on one of the larger parcels in Bridgehampton.
At more than $10,000 per square foot, the listing highlights the high value placed on direct ocean access in an area where supply is naturally limited. Yet beyond the numbers, the property provides what many Hamptons buyers seek but few find: a house that feels both rooted in local style and designed for modern living.
