51 West End Rd

Presenting one of the rarest of oceanfront offerings in the world, 51 West End Road.
Of all the roads in Georgica, West End Road is by far the most recognized for its celebrity, exclusivity and coveted waterfront location. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity boasts 1.51 acres and approximately 170’ of ocean frontage on a private stretch of Georgica beach. With sunrises over the Atlantic and sunsets over Georgica Pond, the light pouring into the house throughout the day is brilliant. Featuring a sprawling oceanside yard and pool, this is one of only two properties on West End Road with these ultra-rare and desirable qualities.

51 West End Road, originally built in 1926 by Roger Bullard (architect of the Maidstone Club) and historically recognized as the Ellery S. James House, this 6100sf +/- home with separate and architecturally distinct 815+/-sf three car garage offers most notably, breathtaking water views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Georgica Pond.

Breathtaking views pour into every single room on the first and second levels, which are filled with endless charm that hits all the right notes for an estate of this caliber. Extensive recent renovations were tended to by Ben Krupinski himself over the past two decades, which include wide plank pine floors, a chef’s kitchen with circular breakfast nook and butler’s pantry, a charming potting room, formal dining and living rooms, a beautiful den, a first floor junior master suite, numerous fireplaces including an original Bullard and a turn of the century ceramic art nouveau one in the second level office--yet every one of these spaces, no matter how luxurious, is arguably trumped by its own ravishing panoramic seascape and garden vistas. Upstairs you will be amazed by the private primary suite wing, where sweeping vistas of Georgica Pond and the Atlantic comprise one of the most majestic, natural panoramas in all of the Hamptons.overlooking the perfect gunite pool, expansive lawns, gardens and the ocean beyond. This is where sunsets over the pond can be viewed from master bedroom and bath, and sunrises over the ocean are a gentle alarm clock. A hidden guest wing staircase winds through multiple bedrooms and baths into the upper-level office suite. A second master with walk-in closet could easily be reconfigured even without an addition. Views from the lower level--which currently houses a full gym and an additional bedroom suite are more intimate and include a door which walks directly out to the garden.

The backyard offers a remarkably private and perfectly elevated perspective over the ocean. The sweeping gardens on the east and west walls of the property invite you out to the waters edge. The private beach boardwalk descends to a wide expanse of unoccupied pristine sands placed perfectly between two of Juan Tripp’s original Georgica jetties, whose purpose is to provide flawless erosion protection.

This unparalleled opportunity, by way of location, history, architecture and garden design is rare indeed. Its central location to some of the best shopping and dining in the Hamptons is simply a perk, as the privacy and truly magical experience of this offering is of its own significance.
