Amagansett Residents Enjoy Dream Home After Nine-Month Delay
Hilary Evans, a local resident, has recently moved into a stunning new home in Amagansett. The house, designed by renowned architect Steven Harris, offers breathtaking views of the water and a unique blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The Evans family purchased a plot of land on a bluff with a clearing, boasting a spectacular view of the water. Due to the site's complexities, they hired Steven Harris to design the house. Harris, known for his modern, elegant residential architecture, created an elongated L-shape home with the upper level serving as the primary wing, offering unobstructed water views through expansive glass windows.
The interiors, designed by Lucien Rees Roberts's RRP firm, feature a mid-century style. The first level houses a sunken living room, while two bedrooms downstairs accommodate the couple's grown daughters. Harris ensured the outdoors were as important as the indoors, creating a seamless flow between the two. The land previously had permits for a house with a pool, but the previous owner did not proceed with construction.
The Evans family faced a nine-month delay to secure variances for the approved square footage. Despite this setback, they persevered and now enjoy their dream home. Hilary Evans, who learned to swim on the very same beach as a child, finds the water views particularly meaningful.
The Evans family's new Amagansett home, designed by Steven Harris, is not just a residence; it's a testament to their patience and love for the area. With its stunning views, mid-century interiors, and harmonious indoor-outdoor living, the house is a true reflection of their personal style and the beauty of Amagansett.
