A Classic Hamptons House on Further Lane Farm

This traditional shingle-style home sits on Further Lane Farm in the Hamptons. It was designed by architect John B. Murray and decorator Victoria Hagan, so it’s pretty darn dreamy. Take a look…

Further Lane Farm in the Hamptons

The Sotheby’s listing says:

“Prestigious Further Lane Farm built in 2010 on gated 5.8 acres with sweeping views of over 41 acres of protected farm reserve.”

I like how they broke up the white walls and the tall ceilings in the two-story entry hall with stained-wood trim:

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my own two-story foyer, so this gave me some ideas. Love the built-in bench and Dutch door, too!

It reminded me of the entry hall from the house where they filmed the pilot for the TV show “Revenge,” so I looked up the screenshots I took of it in 2011 when it first aired:

I guess they’re not as alike as I remembered, but there are some similarities. That house was actually in Wilmington, North Carolina (not the Hamptons).

When the show was picked up for a full season, they recreated the rooms on a set, so the Grayson foyer looked a bit more grand after that:

(You can see more photos of the original Grayson Manor where the pilot was filmed here.)

Okay, back to the real Hamptons:

I think this living room is so pretty:

A back staircase:

The house has 10 bedrooms.

Master Bath:

It’s hard to go wrong with a blue and white-striped rug in the Hamptons (see: SGG):

Butler’s Pantry:

Kitchen:

Down the hall to the guest wing:

Is real mud allowed in a mudroom like this?

Love the big sunroom. Wish we could fit a table this big in mine:

Big houses aren’t usually my thing, but I think I could make myself right at home in this one (assuming the owners didn’t mind, ha).

I wonder how many gallons of white paint was used.

I like the wood trim in the two-story foyer also. I also noticed that the curtain rods in most of the rooms were also brown and in some rooms it helps set the ceiling off from the walls. When the pictures of the kitchen came up, I almost wished that the ktichen had the same small detail.

All white is not usually my thing, but all of the trim and details make it very nice. It’s dreamy, all right!

You know, I like the vocabulary of detail they used (mullioned windows, picture rail moldings, extensive trim light and dark), but it just didn’t come together for me. The house just feels busy. It’s doing all the talking, not leaving any room for the interiors (and thus the owners) to say anything. It just doesn’t feel peaceful. I do love the hallway to the guest rooms, and the big sunroom.

This is exactly the type of house style inside and out that I think of when someone says “Hamptons”. It is very nice and well done, just not for me. Of course if someone I knew owned such a home I would stay there. LOL

Hi Julia,

Thank you so much for the mention. I really appreciate it!

How’s everything with you? Life is very busy around here with the kids, work and the blog. I miss being able to come here every day… miss your beautiful posts and fun houses! I will try to do it more often. 🙂

I hope everything is great with you and the kids.

Thanks, Julia!

    So beautiful, and simply elegant!

To me, it just feels like a big white box. All the details, moldings, etc. being in the square pattern – whether massive (the foyer) or smaller in scale – come off as harsh, rigid. There’s not one aspect that feels soft and comforting. Pretty from the outside, though. Love that style pool – just simply set into the lawn without any ‘stuff’ around.

Is this the same house that Kortney Kardashian and Scott Disneck rented in the Hamptons?

  If they did, it’s news to me. Anyone know?

Everything is very big. That’s all I got.

This is very pretty, but it’s so….so….perfect! What I love about older homes is their imperfection and sense of history. Let’s hope a big family buys this place and fills it up with things that speak to its occupants. Got beach vacation on the brain these days, Julia? Seems we’ve been seeing a lot of beach homes lately. I have 3 more days until my summer holiday, so I can totally relate. The cottage is calling my name! 🙂

  You’re right, Alie, I’d love to be at the beach right now. Sadly, I don’t think it’s going to work out this summer with other responsibilities I’ve got, so daydreaming over pretty vacation homes might be the closest I get! 🙂

Sorry to hear that, Julia. 🙁
We are a rather demanding bunch, aren’t we? Hope your plans open up so you can have a little getaway.

10 bedrooms will take a while to clean and I love how big the mudroom is.

Hi Julia…thanks for this beautiful post. I think that the designer, Victoria Hagen, did a very good job staging/designing the home. The entryway, which could have been a big, bland white space, was done beautifully with that wood trim design that breaks up the mass of white. She could have placed an entry table in the middle of the foyer – but instead chose to leave it open for a potential buyer to notice the deprh of the space…and the beautiful view outside. I love the built-in bench so you could sit and put on/take off your shoes – gives you a sense of the relaxation you’ll feel if you live here. Her use of color brings the viewer’s eye toward a focal point and helps to establish depth in a mostly white home.

The target buyer for this house is looking for the Hampton’s lifestyle…and Victoria did a very good job bringing that look and feel to this home.

I love and need more color in my own home…but when a place is for sale you have to appeal to the target buyer. Great house…great post.

Thanks,

Linda
