In the playground of New York’s elite, this elegant Hamptons home is set in the forest 7 miles from Sag Harbor. Swing open the French doors and welcome fresh east coast breeze to cool off a hot summer’s day. Better yet, hop in the swimming pool for a few quick laps while the kids play in the yard. Later, walk 5 minutes to East Hampton’s vibrant Main Street for dinner.

When you’re not enjoying the patio, Casa Cuckoo’s double-height living room is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner cocktail. Just get a fire going, sink into the sofa, and you are set. The farmhouse kitchen, decked-out in blue, is sure to impress, as well as inspire. For casual meals, the island bar is a great social setting, especially when you want a little company in the kitchen. Otherwise, there’s seating for 10 inside, and 8 out.

After dinner, set the kids up with a movie in the family room or light a fire in the backyard for marshmallow toasting. The 10 parking spaces outside make it easy to expand the guest list as do the open concept interior spaces and a furnished terrace. If a late-night snack seems in order, grill some fresh shrimp on the barbecue. And, if you’re keeping up with a fitness routine, the home gym is ready.

Drive 5 minutes to Indian Wells Beach and start your morning with a stroll along the shore. When it’s time for coffee and a croissant, visit Golden Pear, one of the best cafes in the town. Then, spend your afternoon antiquing, sampling local wines, and boutique shopping on Main Street. For dinner, Bostwick’s Chowder House is a staple of the Hamptons. And, the cocktails are as dynamic as the view at The Beacon.
