Completing the home is a spacious gym and 2-car garage with charger, generator and eco-friendly solar panels, and an ocean-side gunite pool.
In Bridgehampton South, 70 Matthews Lane has come to market with a 7-bedroom estate, produced by interior designer James Michael Howard in collaboration with McAlpine Architecture.

Four guest suites, including a secondary primary with roof terrace, await upstairs, and an elevator connects the lower level, where you’ll find two more guest suites. Break out the popcorn for the tiered theater. There’s also a gym and a large recreation room with a fireplace and a custom billiards table.
Outside, pristine, lush estate grounds with stone walls and specimen trees surround the expansive heated pool and spa.
