25 Lighthouse RoadSouthold, NY 11971Price: $1,899,000

Tucked at the end of a long, private drive on one of Southold's historic streets, this custom-built, designer's own Nantucket-style home delivers 3,800 square feet of luxury on just under an acre of manicured gardens. Minutes from both the Sound and Peconic Bay, plus the restaurants, wineries, and village charm that make North Fork living feel like a permanent vacation. Step onto the mahogany porch, and the vibe hits immediately. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer flows into an inviting light-filled living room. The oversized, well-appointed kitchen is an entertainer's delight with Carrera marble countertops and huge island with seating for 5. Dinner parties? Handled. The adjacent formal dining room is ready when the guest list grows. Main-level primary suite with soaking tub, Carrera-tiled shower, and walk-in closet is a romantic escape. There is also a main level laundry room, guest bath, and library/office. Upstairs, a loft adds natural light and a space to sit and read or relax, and 3 additional oversized bedrooms that offer everyone a private space. The yard is outdoor living at its finest. Stone patio, sprawling exotic wood deck with pergola, and a fire pit lounge make for late-night conversations in the lush, thoughtfully designed yard (which has plenty of space for a pool!). The detached two-car garage gives you room to grow. Polished yet comfortable. Private yet not remote. A true North Fork experience for all seasons.
