The kitchen is in the rear overlooking the garden, and has an outdoor screened foyer with full bath, sitting area and serving for outdoor dining.

The grounds are exceptionally large for the Heights and invite one to wander and observe nature. Located on a quiet lane within stone’s throw to ferry, this is Hamptons country living at its best.
