BEHIND THE PRIVET-EAST HAMPTON

I'm reinstating the Behind the Privet series today with a look at a 100 year old Stanford White mansion on exclusive Georgica Pond in East Hampton. What makes this estate so special? It's all in the details. An extensive three year renovation of the two acre property by Jeffrey Colle refined the interiors with extraordinary woodwork custom designed and hand-milled on site and stunning marble tubs, tiles and and counters which were carved from single blocks of stone by Italian master craftsman. My favorite room in the amazing 12,000 square foot home has to be the 30 foot high living room, an homage to symmetry with identical second floor balconies overlooking carved marble fireplaces. The dramatic floor to ceiling French windows highlight the magnificent views of the pond. So stately and beautiful, I'm ready to move in, how about you?

Pretty but some of the rooms feel a little like a banquet hall. Maybe because there is no furniture, the wood is very nice. Great party house!
