This East Hampton estate was designed with clean lines and stucco inspired by European coastline homes.

Named the J. D. Voorhees House, this 1912 East Hampton estate brings architectural history to more than 1.7 acres overlooking Hook Pond and the Maidstone Club. Designed by noted local architect John Custis Lawrence and built by master builder Edward M. Gay, its clean-lined stucco exterior was inspired by European coastline homes, setting it apart from the cedar-shingled architecture common across the area. Inside, elevated ceilings, a dramatic entry foyer, formal rooms, fireplaces, a billiards area, butler's pantry, glass-enclosed breakfast room, and enclosed western sunporch create a gracious setting for entertaining or relaxed family living. Mature plantings surround rolling lawns, while a covered terrace and rear porch open the home toward the grounds. Lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 80 years, the estate offers a rare connection to East Hampton's past, with the flexibility to renovate or build new. It is also moments from Village shops, galleries, Guild Hall, the library, and ocean beaches.
