Set well back from the road on just over an acre in East Hampton’s Northwest Woods, 56 Alewive Brook Road is a traditional home built around one idea: life by the pool. It offers privacy, quiet, and easy access to the bay, just a mile from the sandy shoreline of Sammy’s Beach and a short distance to East Hampton Village.

From the front door, a wall of glass sets the tone. The view runs across the sunken living room and its fireplace, through to the pool and the private wooded grounds beyond. High ceilings and an open floor plan join the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one light-filled space for everyday living and easy entertaining.

The layout works well for entertaining and guests. The primary suite is on the first floor. A separate guest wing holds two bedrooms with a shared bath, and a powder room serves the main level. Upstairs, a fourth en-suite bedroom offers its own retreat, and a bonus loft overlooks the open living space below. It’s ideal as an office, media room, or extra space for weekend visitors.

Outside, the backyard is screened by mature woods, with the pool and a newly updated deck at its center. That makes it a natural spot for long summer afternoons and evenings outdoors. With a freshly updated roof and deck, the home is move-in ready.

Whether you’re looking for a year-round residence or a seasonal escape, 56 Alewive Brook Road offers a turnkey Hamptons retreat in one of East Hampton’s most peaceful enclaves.
