First Offering: Nestled in the highly desirable enclave of FAIR LEA and situated just south of Southampton's iconic Gin Lane, this property is one of the few homes fortunate enough to have a deeded path leading directly to the Atlantic Ocean. As you pass through the white gates, you are transported back to the cherished era of the Hamptons, when this house, named Clover Top, was built in 1883. Since then, several additions and upgrades have modernized the home for the 21st century. Upon entering the first floor, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer featuring a stunning fireplace and a hand-carved staircase. The spacious Living Room and Dining Room, both with fireplaces, are perfect for year-round entertaining and open onto French doors that lead to a large, sunlit wrap-around porch, complete with steps that descend to the garden and heated gunite pool. The den serves as an ideal home office, boasting custom bookcases and large windows that fill the space with natural light. A second staircase in the rear foyer leads to two en-suite bedrooms and the primary bedroom, which features a fireplace and an oversized bathroom. The third floor includes a generous 20 x 14 bedroom with two full-size beds, while three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample accommodations for family and guests. For staff or visiting guests, there is a beautifully renovated suite of rooms above the garage, comprising a bedroom, living area, and full bathroom. The wraparound porch overlooks the expansive yard and well-placed pool, perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons and ocean breezes. The rear foyer features a cabana with an outdoor shower, a convenient amenity after a day at the private ocean beach. Part of Alfred Nelson's Fair Lea compound-one of six original cottages-this home presents a rare chance to own a piece of Southampton's rich history. Centrally located near beach clubs, tennis clubs, and just a short distance from Main Street and Jobs Lane, this property is available by appointment only.
