A Bridgehampton property that has stayed in the hands of the Quimby family since the 1800s is on the market, including a four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence built in 2009.
The 3.4-acre property is in the old estate section on the family’s namesake Quimby Lane and asking $14 million.
The Balinese-style estate was designed by Peter Cook and built by Glen Web with landscape design by Ed Hollander. What’s Balinese-style, exactly? It’s inspired by Bali, a volcanic island of Indonesia with a distinct vernacular architecture.
A pool house with roses, flowering vines and a wet bar sits aside the heated gunite pool. Mature specimen trees and hedges provide privacy and a meadow complements the lawn.
The residence with a flared hip roof has cathedral ceilings clad in cherry wood and Venetian plaster and glass walls.
The living room has a central fireplace and leads to a raised formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen with counter seating, shaker cabinets, a butcher block island and stainless steel appliances. A wet bar leads to the round sitting room with motorized shades and French doors to the grounds. A screened porch has a sitting and dining area that blends the indoors and out.
The master suite has walk-in closets, a gas fireplace, window seating and a soaker tub. The lower level is partially finished with recreation space.
Among the many amenities are radiant heat floors, central vacuum, and home automation.
