In a time where many want a house identical to their neighbor’s, the iconic and last of its kind “Witch’s Hat” in Water Mill stands apart. The residence playfully named by its owner (one of Architectural Digest and Elle Decor‘s top 100 designers) references the turret that crowns this 1884 Queen Anne-style gem which the designer has transformed into an elegant but easy living compound.  Take a tour of this 2.295M gem in our feature below.Located on a quiet Water Mill lane close to town and ocean beaches, the residence is tucked behind stately Hamptons hedges. What lies within those hedges is pure delight. The wrap around porch is kitted out for full relaxation and flanked by a profusion of white hydrangea.The home is comprised of four beds. four baths, and 3,259 square feet. The generously proportioned main floor features an open parlor, living room with fireplace, sunroom, formal dining with fireplace, and gourmet kitchen. Master suite, with private porch and views of Mill Pond, and guest bedrooms, all en suite, are situated on the second floor.The third floor is utterly magical with additional living quarters and water views. Outside, the grounds are an entertainer’s dream. Ample lawn, specimen landscaping, and a tented pool cabana with checkerboard floors overlook a perfectly squared pool. The double height pool cottage with 11 foot French doors and summer living area is a delight on its own, and really must be seen to be fully appreciated.
