Rare 8 Acre Estate Size Vacant Parcel Waiting For You In Coveted Dering Harbor

Shelter Island | Dearing Harbor. Tucked within the storybook charm of Dering Harbor-New York’s smallest and arguably most exclusive village-lies a majestic 8.2-acre estate parcel waiting to be reimagined. With only 35 homes dotting this picturesque 200-acre seaside haven, the opportunity to claim such a vast and pristine canvas is nothing short of extraordinary. Once part of the legendary “Oriole Farm,” the private arboretum and cultivated gardens of famed horticulturist Alice Fisk, this land is steeped in heritage and beauty. Now, for the first time in generations, this treasured property emerges from its quiet slumber to invite a visionary buyer to shape their own legacy in an unmatched setting. Surrounded by whispers of nature and the tranquility of the sea, the gently cleared land offers a rare combination of serenity and scale-with ample room to design a grand manor, shimmering pool, elegant pool house, tennis court, and even a bespoke carriage house with legal living quarters above. A discreet service entrance on the west side adds both convenience and privacy, and shortens your stroll to the village center. Unlike other areas on Shelter Island, Dering Harbor benefits from its own municipal water supply-ensuring both crystal-clear drinking water and a thriving landscape nourished year-round. Directly across from the verdant fairways of Gardiner’s Bay Country Club, with views of the iconic 4th hole, the estate is perfectly positioned for those who appreciate refined leisure. Within a leisurely walk, you’ll discover sandy beaches, charming shops, and fine dining tucked along the waterfront-each moment here infused with the idyllic pace of island life. With easy access to both the North and South Forks and the freedom to shape your vision while finalizing architectural plans, this singular offering invites you to craft something timeless-a sanctuary where nature, history, and elegance converge. Come walk the land, breathe in the salt air, and imagine the extraordinary life that awaits.

As summer’s golden days give way to September’s gentle light, our Labor Day and Hampton Classic issue arrives with a spirit of celebration.

We begin with The Hampton Classic Horse Show, now in its 50th year, where editor Alexandra Croft explores why this world-class event remains a defining East End tradition. In our dining feature,

Beverly Stephen curates a guide to exceptional meals within reach of the Classic—ranging from smoky barbecue to fine dining—ensuring every palate is pleased. Our Luxe for the home bring the equestrian spirit indoors, with designer finds from statement chairs to equine-inspired art.

Marketwatch, Heather Senison speaks with top brokers who report a season of strength, with luxury sales and buyer activity on the rise. The upcoming fall sales season is looking very promising.

We also present the third edition South Florida Real Estate , spotlighting luxury living from Miami to Palm Beach; Skye Sherman’s “Fresh Catch” guide to exceptional seafood and sushi on PBI; Mariette Williams’ look at the revitalized Palm House hotel; and Jaxon Wilde’s profile of Stephen Ross’ visionary West Palm Beach developments. This issue also presents an exceptional selection of luxury condominium projects, spanning the coastline from vibrant Miami to serene Jupiter Island.

This month’s Designer Showcase spotlights AD100 designer Neal Beckstedt’s stunning Sag Harbor Village cottage, currently listed with Douglas Elliman. The cottage was originally the 19th-century dormitory for the Bulova Watchcase

factory. Neal waited six years before renovating allowing the home’s history and character to guide his vision. The result is a warm, layered blend of original details, curated antiques, and inviting outdoor spaces. It’s a beautiful reminder that the best designs, like the best stories, take time to unfold.

Finally, Karen Dash’s Realty Check returns with the latest sales, exciting new listings, and a dash of Hamptons intrigue.

HAMPTON HABITUÉS

Good News Gossip About Our Notable Friends And Neighbors

BY DAWN WATSON

What a gloriously star-studded time we’ve had in the Hamptons this summer! This year, we got to see some of our perennial favorite East Enders, returning visitors (perhaps it’s finally time to buy an East End crash pad?), and lots of new faces who managed to get away to our lovely little slice of heaven. Let’s take a look at who popped in and checked us out.

MOVIE MAGIC

Speaking of returning visitors, we were happy to welcome Academy Award-winning American director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and film historian Martin Scorsese and his daughter, Francesca, out east for a slightly more permanent stay.

EGOTS TO GO

Barbra Streisand didn’t come but she did drop some serious funds off at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach this year. The generous surprise donation from the Emmy, Grammy. Oscar, and Tony winner was given as a tribute to her longtime publicist Ken Sunshine, who has a home in the village and is a member of the famous temple.

The movie legend, who has filmed countless features out east, teamed up with his youngest to debut a new year-long film series at the Southampton Playhouse this summer. Scorsese Presents: Family Films showcases some of their favorite kid fare, including Bicycle Thieves and The Wizard of Oz, which some might know was produced by the grandfather of our pal, Bridget LeRoy.

is loosely based on the life of British comedian John Bishop. Written by Arnett, who also cohosts the wildly popular Smartless podcast, it’s set to premiere as the closer at the 2025 New York Film Festival in October.

WELL-READ RESIDENTS

This year’s Authors Night did not disappoint. No surprise there. Always a highlight of the season, some of our favorites this year were Sean Avery, Griffin Dunne, James Frey (a fraternity brother of this writer’s husband), Maureen Dowd, Jessica Seinfeld and Marshall Watson

COMING SOON

Cheers to Hamptons habitués Will Arnett and Bradley Cooper, who are awaiting the release of their newest project, Is This Thing On? The comedy, directed by Cooper (who we are predicting will join the EGOT club soon enough) and starring Cooper and Arnett, plus Laura Dern, Andra Day, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes and Peyton Manning,

WHEREVER THEY MAY ROAM

Even the guys in Metallica love it out east. Who knew? The heavy metal band, founded by drummer Lars Ulrich and vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, headed east last month to the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett to celebrate the launch of their new SiriusXM channel, Maximum Metallica. The music streamer will feature all the hits, plus deep cuts, interviews, and more.

AHOY MATES

Even Captain Kerry Titheradge of fame managed to sail into the East End this season. The super yacht helmer, who hails from Brisbane, Australia was spotted at the Southampton Hospital fundraiser. He’s a big mental health advocate, kids’ cancer and animal rescue supporter. Good on him.

Streisand is a semi-regular visitor out east. Her recently released album, The Secret Life: Partners, Volume Two features collaborations with Amagansett’s Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Sting, Sam Smith, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande.

FUNNY LADY

Sarah Silverman absolutely slayed at Jessica Seinfeld’s annual Good+ Foundation Summer Dinner in East Hampton. The very funny comic has a decade’s old history here. Her first film, Who’s the Caboose?” was showcased at the Hamptons Comedy Film Festival back in 2000 and she’s been spotted at select gatherings numerous times over the past few years. Coming up, she’s set to star in Viral, a thriller directed by and co-starring Blair Underwood. Can’t wait to see that!

SERIOUS VACATION

Funnyman Chevy Chase made way to Bridgehampton last month, just in time to be feted by former co-star, Christie Brinkley, and honored with the Compassion to Action Aware, along with his wife, Jayni, by the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation. Chase is set to star in a new comedy, The Ogilvy Fortune, with Keith David, Nick Cassavetes, Dennis Miller, and the late Richard Lewis. From what we’ve learned, it’s a boomer version of Ocean’s 11. Fun!

At Amaden Gay, we provide the right guidance to protect what you love. From fine art and classic auto to homeowner and watercraft, we customize solutions to cover what you value most. Invest in your passion. We’re here to support you.

REALTY CHECK

Hot Sales and Listings...Along with the Latest Real Estate News in the Hamptons and Beyond

BY KAREN DASH

Another Labor Day? Hasn’t it been five minutes since the last one? We hope you enjoyed your summer. Here in the Hamptons, it was fairly cool and cloudy a lot of the time, which didn’t help our tomato crop much. On the other hand, that weather sure beats the scorchers much of the rest of the US (and Europe) endured.

Hamptons real estate, by the way, is having quite a moment. In the first quarter, the median price surpassed the $2 million threshold for the first time, a milestone that affirms even the most modest beach cabana has become a coveted asset of exceptional value.

$80

MILLION STUNNER IN CONTRACT

Let’s be honest: nothing says, “we’re in late-stage capitalism, baby!” quite like dropping $79.5 million

on a summer house. But that’s what someone just did on Lily Pond Lane. Or near enough: the sale hasn’t closed yet, so we don’t know the price The Petrie Team at Compass represented the listing.

The 110-year-old shingled mansion sold in under 90 days. Thankfully, this wasn’t another teardown in the name of building something “sleek and sustainable” with 12 HVAC zones and zero charm. The mystery buyer plans to restore the historic pile rather than flatten it. Restoring is the new flex.

At a sprawling 8,400 square feet, “Dune House” is perched above the dunes like it’s supervising the Atlantic. The property, at nearly five acres, offers two separate lots—because why just buy a house when you can also buy the option to build an entirely new one next door? The main 2.85-

acre spread at 105 Lily Pond Lane comes with an adjacent 1.8-acre vacant lot, perfect for when the guest wing starts to feel a little cramped.

Lily Pond Lane, for the uninitiated, is part of the Hamptons’ Monopoly board of prestige— alongside Meadow Lane, Gin Lane, and Further Lane—where “neighbors” have historically included Martha Stewart and Jon Bon Jovi (because nothing says “coastal elite” like artisanal pies and power ballads).

$89 MILLION ASK IN SAGAPONACK

Vitamin Shoppe founder Jeffrey Horowitz is trying to offload his oceanfront compound for a very healthy sounding $89 million. That’s down from a previously whispered $125 million, so technically a steal. Welcome to 21 and 407

Fairfield Pond Lane — two single and separate parcels on one of Sagaponack’s most vaunted lanes. The $89 million package deal gets you both properties: a two-acre slice with a 9,000-squarefoot main house, waterside pool, and checks notes a nine-hole, European-style links golf course. The property is listed with Kieran Brew and Ryan Serhant at Serhant.

The $89 million package deal gets you both properties. Hate much golf? Don’t worry — you can tear it up and replace it with a tennis court, pickleball court, or, frankly, a small airport. For the commitment-phobic, you can also buy just the main house parcel for $75 million, or the golf course for $15 million, if you’re the kind of person who likes their lawn really manicured.

The compound is blissfully secluded, with only three neighbors — one of whom dropped $50 million in 2022 and is now busy tearing the place apart for renovations. The main house itself is a modern beach fortress with eight bedrooms, seven full baths, and three half-baths, because no one should have to walk more than 20 steps to find a toilet.

Best of all, though, it is a pre-existing pavilion with private stairs to one of the widest, softest stretches of Hamptons beach your money can buy. Bonus points: a grandfathered rock revetment to keep the waves at bay, plus a grandfathered boardwalk so you can stroll to the shore without getting sand in your sandals.

QUIET LUXURY IN SAG HARBOR

If your tastes skew less Gatsby and more Architectural Digest, AD100 designer Neal Beckstedt has quietly

in “quiet luxury,” with cedar shakes, acid-washed marble, and a bathtub that looks like it was hammered by Norse gods.

In the heart of Sag Harbor Village, you too can live like a design-world tastemaker. The house at 311 Division Street has been meticulously restored. Built in the 1890s, the place has been expanded and art-directed within an inch of its life.

“This is a rare chance to own a designer’s personal Hamptons retreat,” says listing agent Noble Black of Douglas Elliman. Noble is repping the listing alongside Averitt Buttry, also of Douglas Elliman. Beckstedt calls the house his vision of “how to live well: surrounded by soulful materials that feel warm, unique, and timeless.” Translation: every inch is Instagram-ready, and if you scratch the marble, your soul will hurt more than the

countertop. FYI - for a closer look, check out this issue’s Designer Showcase on pages 72-75 featuring this one-of-a-kind home.

OG EAST HAMPTON

And rounding out this month’s picks is a little Main Street, East Hampton, gem clocking in at a more “humble” $4.75 million. Built in 1889 as a wedding gift (take notes, parents), this one comes with village-approved pool plans, original architectural details, and even a widow’s walk— because who doesn’t want to stare moodily at the sea and contemplate old money?

Step aside, new money. The house at 195 Main Street comes with more pedigree than a Westminster dog show. Built in 1889 by William Hedges for his son, William Huntting Hedges and his bride Julia Parsons Sherrill, this grand Main Street home is practically dripping in East Hampton lore.

If your ancestors didn’t help write East Hampton’s original zoning code, are you even really local? The Hedges settled in East Hampton in 1650, just two years after its founding. That’s right: while your great-great-grandfather was probably still trying to afford steerage to New York, the Hedges were already running the place.

Local historian Jeannette Edwards Rattray, who knew a thing or two about East Hampton’s social fabric (and wasn’t afraid to name-drop), wrote about the house and the family in both East Hampton History and Up and Down Main Street

Let’s just say if you’re looking for a home with character, legacy, and possibly a few ghosts who voted for the original zoning code, 195 Main

Street delivers. Get on the horn to listing agents Dawn Neway, Diana Neway, Amelia Nash at Douglas Elliman; and Compass’ Laura Eisman and Heather Saskas. This isn’t just a house. It’s a history flex.

WILLIAM RAVEIS NAMED TOP LUXURY BROKERAGE BY INMAN GOLDEN I CLUB 2025

William Raveis, the number one family-owned independent real estate company in the Northeast, Florida, and South Carolina, has been named Top Luxury Brokerage by the prestigious Inman Golden I Club 2025, recognized by Inman News as the “highest honor in luxury real estate.”

This year’s national Finalists included Sotheby’s International Realty, The Agency, Corcoran Group, Brown Harris Stevens, and others.

Winning top honors underscores William Raveis’ five decades of commitment to personalized service, world-class marketing, and visionary innovation in the luxury space.

“As a privately held company, we are not beholden to shareholders,” says Founder and CEO William Raveis. “We are not afraid to innovate and invest in building an exceptional Luxury Properties Division with the best marketing, most advanced technology tools, and finest agents in the world.”

With over 4,500 sales associates from Maine to Florida and a portfolio exceeding $1B, Raveis continues to represent the East Coast’s most desirable addresses— from Nantucket and Greenwich to Naples and Palm Beach—through its exclusive partnership with Luxury Portfolio International®

“Early on, we decided the franchises are not like us,” Raveis adds. “We’ve honed a worldclass Luxury Properties Division, providing individually tailored marketing programs for Fortune 500 CEOs, politicians, authors, and notable figures from the worlds of sports, entertainment, and television.”

“We’ve built a global brand together with our extraordinary team of entrepreneurial agents,” Raveis says. The firm also earned a Finalist nod for ‘Most Innovative Marketing or Branding Campaign’ for its Elite Concierge Services— offering mortgage, insurance, and moving support all under one roof.

CH CH CHANGES

of Serhant has joined forces with fellow agents Lisa Oehler and Catherine Smyth to form The Hamptons Home Team, a powerhouse collective redefining client service on the East End.

Watson, an Eastport resident and former magazine editor, ranks among the top 1% of licensed real estate professionals nationwide, according to RealTrends.com. In 2024, she was the Number One Agent in the Hamptons for her brokerage. A pre-Instagram influencer, she also created the popular site Hamptons Party Girl.

Oehler, of Remsenburg, is a successful serial entrepreneur, known for Hampton’s Consignment Shoppe and Bohemian Bay Bungalow. Smyth, based in Sag Harbor and Long Beach, is a marketing and advertising veteran with three decades of sales experience and a background in celebrity media.

Supported by assistants Vanessa Lee and Lillian Dempsey, the team operates with a spirit of collaboration and deep client commitment. “Cathy, Lisa and I share the belief that our roles as agents should be about the highest degree of fiduciary care and responsibility,” says Watson. “Real estate is often one of the most important and largest financial decisions you can make—it can also be extremely emotional. That’s why we are here for our people every day and every step of the way.”

The Hamptons Real

Estate

Market Surged in the Second Quarter of 2025,

Buoyed by Sustained Demand and a Marked

Increase in High-End Sales.

BY HEATHER SENISON

For Douglas Elliman, the number of transactions above $5 million was the second-highest on record. The firm also reported that the average sales price rose 4.8% quarter-over-quarter to $3.33 million, underscoring the strength of the luxury segment.

Sales for the Corcoran Group were up 16% yearover-year, marking the first time since 2021 that the market has posted three consecutive quarters of growth. One standout area was East Hampton

Village, where median prices soared 43%, driven by four sales over $10 million out of just seven total transactions in the area.

“We’ve seen meaningful sales this year across nearly every price point and location,” said Gary DePersia, an associate broker at the Corcoran

Group. Amagansett’s Lanes continue to set the bar, he said, while Sag Harbor and Shelter Island continue to be places to watch.

A SUMMER ‘WHIRLWIND’

DePersia noted that while summer activity is always expected, this year’s July was unusually

active for showings and August is shaping up to be “a whirlwind of showings and decision-making.” Buyers are also coming from a broader range of places, DePersia added. Many are no longer based in New York City but instead in South Florida and other areas. “They’re not making weekend trips out East in the fall, so they’re feeling the pressure to find the right property while they’re here now,” he said.

favorite sale this year was a nearly $30 million modern waterfront home on Flying Point Road, sold off-market — a testament to both buyer appetite and market discretion at the top end.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than showing a home and immediately recognizing that your buyers are in love with it the moment they walk through the door,” Keszler said.

Even in quieter areas, momentum is building. The waterfront in Moriches has been very active this summer, Cammarata said, as “buyers are discovering its open bay views, dock potential, and relative value compared to points farther east.”

Associate broker Kimberly Cammarata of Douglas Elliman confirmed that summer brought a decisive shift after a quiet spring.

“High-end homes, especially waterfront and new construction, go under contract quickly,” she said. Cammarata highlighted increased interest in niche markets like Quiogue and Moriches, where privacy, scale, and water access offer compelling value.

One of her current listings, a 10,000-square-foot estate at 551 Main St. on Quantuck Creek in Quiogue, is priced at $16.4 million and reflects buyers’ growing desire for luxury homes outside the traditional hotspots, Cammarata said.

SEEKING VALUE AND LIFESTYLE

While established towns like Sag Harbor and East Hampton continue to draw buyers, agents report that growing demand is shifting focus to emerging areas.

Sag Harbor is always a favorite, but Hampton Bays is coming in strong as a second option thanks to its natural beauty and well-priced homes, noted

sales, added Michaela Keszler, an associate broker with Sotheby’s International Realty. She reported robust interest across both rentals and off-market transactions.

New construction homes are selling quickly,

LISTEN TO THE MARKET

This fall, Hamptons buyers should act decisively, agents say. If a property checks most of your boxes,

“Hesitation can mean losing out to another motivated buyer,” Cerio said. Prepare in advance, Keszler advised, since new listings can spark bidding wars. Fall also brings less competition and more flexibility, Cammarata noted.

Sellers, meanwhile, should price realistically and treat serious offers with respect. “It’s tough to detach from the emotional ties of a home, but at the end of the day, it’s also a commodity,” DePersia said. “Let the market guide you.”

The Hampton Classic Turns 50

hand. Spotted in recent years have been Robert Downey, Jr., Jimmy Fallon, Mariska Hargitay, Bobby Flay, Sofia Vergara, Ashley and MaryKate Olsen, Julianne Moore, Jane Seymour, Billy Joel, Brooke Shields, and Bruce Springsteen. The VIP tents host conversations that slip effortlessly from bloodlines and course design to art world whispers and finance forecasts.

The showgrounds themselves become a curated village. Vendors set up luxe pop-up boutiques— equestrian-chic apparel, handcrafted boots, fine jewelry, contemporary art, and gourmet fare— creating a world within a world. Silk dresses flutter beneath linen jackets; shade is sought beneath monogrammed umbrellas. It’s a place where the hum of conversation is underscored by the quiet rhythm of hooves in sand.

“Sport and society come together in The Classic,” notes one seasoned guest. “You attend for the horses, but you stay for the atmosphere—it’s highbrow and remarkably personal.”

Indeed, behind the glamour lies a foundation of discipline and devotion. Riders rise before dawn to walk their courses, to school their horses, to feel the footing. Grooms move silently through barns, polishing tack, plaiting manes, preparing their charges for the ring. Each quiet gesture, each soft shuffle of hooves, reveals the true soul of the Classic: a reverence for the animal, a passion for the craft. For young riders, the Classic is a proving ground. For seasoned competitors, it’s a career benchmark. And while it draws global talent, the Hampton Classic remains rooted in local purpose. Since its founding in 1976, the event has supported Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and

family events, and philanthropic activations are seamlessly woven into the week, a reminder that community and culture go hand in hand.

“As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we are incredibly proud of the Hampton Classic’s history as one of the world’s premier equestrian

continue our tradition of presenting worldclass show jumping competition with Olympic veterans and star riders from around the world, along with great shopping, entertainment attractions, family and kids activities, and support for local charities. We invite everyone

This season promises a roster of returning champions and emerging talents, competing on newly resurfaced footing under the latesummer sun. But for many, the enduring magic of the Hampton Classic is found in its quiet moments: the hush before a round, the shimmer of bridles at daybreak, the balance between elegance and athleticism that makes this show not only a hallmark of the Hamptons season—but a world unto itself.

Season Grand Finale

BY BEVERLY STEPHEN

The Hampton Classic Horse Show, one of the largest show jumping contests in the U.S., is celebrating its 50th anniversary. You can bet plenty of A-list celebrities will be among the 50,000 spectators expected to attend the week-long event August 24 to 31 in Bridgehampton. So where are you going to eat before or after the events?

Just up the Montauk highway where Sagaponack meets Wainscott is Townline BBQ where you can choose between St. Louis ribs, brisket, or pulled pork; collards or slaw; German chocolate cake or banana pudding. But don’t forget cornbread with everything. And the prices won’t break the bank. The rustic décor with reclaimed barn wood is casual and convivial. The bar is welcoming too with its 70 plus whiskey selections and plenty of local craft beer.

Old world elegance meets modern sophistication at Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House, Bridgehampton’s luxury boutique hotel. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served in the light and airy

dining room. Though the restaurant bills itself as casually chic, the dishes are as refined as you would expect. The emphasis is on seasonal produce and local fish and seafood. A refreshing dinner could start with sweet pea soup with Parmesan foam or tuna tartare with avocado, spicy radish and ginger marinade. Appealing mains include crispy Montauk fluke with saffron aioli and peas, seared black sea bass with ginger scallions, and grilled lamb chops with passion fruit BBQ sauce and summer beans. The $10 happy hour is back from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

If you’re in the mood for red-sauce Italian, Arthur & Sons is right on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike. Reliable appetizers include fried calamari and baked clams oreganato. There’s pasta every which way including Old School Sunday gravy. The Parms include chicken, eggplant, and

veal. Chicken and veal are both offered Milanese, Marsala, and Francese. The Isidori family has operated restaurants in New York City since 1954. This is their first outpost in the Hamptons now in its second season. The decor illuminated by Tiffany style lamps is warm and friendly and is intended to pay homage to the New York ItalianAmerican scene.

Just off Bridgehampton’s main drag on School Street, you’ll find yourself in a Greek island fantasy. Elaia (pronounced alayah) Estiatorio is a modern Greek restaurant seamlessly blending tradition and invention. There’s no shortage of traditional spreads, Greek salad, moussaka, octopus, and ouzo. But there are also delicious interpretations of local fish and seafood all artfully plated. And then there’s the show stopping lamb shank encased in parchment paper with potatoes, onions, carrots, tomato and Kefalograviera cheese. Owners Sofia Crokas and Chris Boudouris say they want diners to feel like they’re having a Sunday dinner with family. Sofia’s background in fashion and design shows in the restaurant’s charming candlelight aesthetic. Chris, also the owner of Bridgehampton Wine Cellars, uses his expertise to curate an impressive wine list with a focus on Greek wines. A generous happy hour at the bar extends to 6:30 p.m. Opa!

An esteemed designer offers an object lesson in slow design

The first time AD100 designer Neal Beckstedt set eyes on a nineteenthcentury cottage in Sag Harbor Village in 2014 (currently listed with Douglas Elliman at $4,950,000) he knew in an instant that it was “the one.”

Well before he’d taken possession of the three bedroom, three bathroom property – originally a workers’ dormitory for the Bulova Watchcase Factory – Beckstedt reconfigured the house in imagination as a soon-to-be homeowner will. But while it’s human nature to set about changing things right away, Beckstedt had the discipline and self-restraint to wait six long years before renovating what became his second home.

In doing so, he says, he gained a more nuanced understanding of the house and how he wished to use it. He compares the process to that of making a slowcooked stew: as the ingredients simmer, flavors begin to meld in compatible yet unexpected ways.

Refraining from immediate action conferred a second benefit on the project: it allowed Beckstedt’s creative vision to come into focus in a natural, unhurried way. The result is that many of his design choices seem inevitable. While acknowledging that it goes against every instinct to do nothing – and that he’s accustomed to making excellent snap decisions under pressure of deadline  –  Beckstedt insists that time invested in groundwork will be returned to you in the grand scheme.

For example, he considered expanding the interiors more than he ultimately did. But then he realized that what he really wanted were a series of outdoor spaces that functioned as rooms. And so he defined the contours of the garden, pool and lounge areas, creating shade where there was previously open space by planting trees and building pergolas.

He also went back and forth over whether to take the internal refurbishment in a modern direction or one that was more of a piece with the history and feel of the house. Ultimately, he chose the latter course, bringing to bear all his talents on a design scheme that evokes the past with a light touch. “It had to be comfortable and usable and contemporary – but my own idea of contemporary,” he says.

To help achieve that look, he retained or restored original features whenever possible; and when that wasn’t possible he made new elements look old. Take the original doors, for instance. “I thought, “They are amazing. Why buy new ones?” And so he stripped and sanded them to reveal wood that had been hidden for decades and then he hung them right back up. Beneath an expanse of grotty linoleum he discovered wide pine floorboards and exposed beams, circa 1890, under a ceiling made ugly with sheetrock. And then there’s the vaulted ceiling on the second floor – another piece of found beauty, which he uncovered simply by taking out the attic overhead. “It’s those small details that make the house unique. There’s a rich history here,” he says.

By the time construction got underway, Beckstedt had a plan even though “the material palette wasn’t nailed

down.” This was by design. He worked on the house like an artist building up a canvas with layer upon layer of paint. Each time he introduced a new element he’d pause to see how it worked in combination with what came before it after which he would consider how to proceed. “The interior wasn’t something I schemed together, by any means,” says Beckstedt.

The linen-clad walls of the sunny den off the paneled living room typify his approach. “For visual relief, I knew I needed to cover them in something other than wood,” says Beckstedt, “Wallpapers seemed too, modern potato-stamped paper too rustic. “ Then, at a

flea market he spotted a stack of French grain sacks, each with its characteristic stripe down the center. “I thought, Oh my! This is just right!” He bought them all on the spot.

And so it went for years, with Beckstedt designing custom furniture for each room and acquiring unusual textiles and antiques from shops and private dealers and flea markets until the place was furnished to perfection. Reflecting on the process, he says: “When I look at each piece, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing – as if the whole house were a memory book.”

BEYOND THE PRESENT: Collecting for the Future

Christine Mack Shares Her Vision for the Present and Future of the Art World

BY HEATHER BUCHANAN

Art collector and foundation director Christine Mack shares part of her stunning collection at the Southampton Arts Center. "Beyond the Present: Collecting for the Future,’ is curated by award-winning art historian and founder of ArtMuse, Natasha Schlesinger and Executive Director of Southampton Arts Center, Christina Mossaides Strassfield, and runs to September 27.  The exhibition is a testament to Christine Mack’s collection of contemporary art with a keen eye to the future. Her mission is to collect and holistically nurture these talents through the Mack Art Foundation.

“The Southampton Arts Center is an amazing place, and I really enjoyed working with them for the past few months,” says Mack, “It’s like my little babies leaving the house.” The show is an ambitious exhibition of 75 works. Mack says it has been a pleasure collaborating with Strassfield and Schlesinger. Audiences will get to see both established and up and coming artists with some works being on public display for the first time.

“We are delighted to showcase works from Christine Mack’s personal collection and the Mack Art Foundation residency program,” Says Christina Strassfield, “Her passion and vision for collecting and supporting artists are truly inspiring. Each time Christine talks about an artist and their work, you gain a deeper understanding of the strong relationship between collector and artist and see her total support for them and their individual vision.”

Mack has a home in Bridgehampton which also is an incredible showcase for some of her collection and has been photographed for international magazines, “For real estate the art can elevate everything. If I didn’t have the art here, it wouldn’t look like this.”

Caught by the “art bug” 25 years ago, Mack grew up in Sweden and studied at the Parsons School of Design, honing her creative eye. She also has great admiration for her in laws who are ardent art collectors. Mack trusts her gut and intuition when choosing pieces for her collection, “I don’t have advisors. I collect what I like. I enjoy collecting artists early in their careers. Buying their art helps them financially and also to be able to say they are in a good collection.”

Mack along with her Foundation created a residency for emerging artists. “I spend two to three months with each artist, and it’s a privilege to be part of their life and process. They are reflecting what’s going on in the world today, and they have a voice. It’s really exciting. We keep in touch. It’s like a growing family, and I’m so proud of them.”

While her taste is diverse, Mack does collect in themes, “It may be black artists or female surreal artists. I also collect a lot of female figurative artists who paint themselves and other women, the women’s gaze as opposed to the male gaze.” Mack enjoys the discovery process, “I love art and travel and the people I meet. I can find an artist anywhere in the world on social media and do studio visits either through artists or galleries. I also reach out on Instagram to introduce my residency program to artists and invite them to apply.”

What is her advice to people interested in starting their own art collection, “The art market goes up and down but I believe you should collect what you love, and it should be personal. There is something in every single work I collect that speaks to me.”

Balance Matters in Every Room

BY HEATHER SENISON

If you’re looking around your home and wondering why it doesn’t feel quite right, one foundational design principle may offer a solution: balance. The concept not only contributes to the overall visual appeal of a space, but it also influences how we feel within it, designers say.

“Balance in your home offers a feeling of calm and order,” says Libby Langdon, founder of Libby Langdon Interiors. “This is a place where you need to feel peace, comfort and serenity, and balance helps you achieve that.”

From relaxing bedrooms to productive home offices and layered living rooms, proper use of balance can transform a home into a harmonious haven.

CREATE CALM SPACES

In interior design, balance is used to produce equilibrium. There are several key factors involved in achieving this, explains Jennifer Weisberg Cohen, owner and principal designer at JLW Interiors, starting with contrast, which is often achieved through color.

“A light hue that is set against something dark creates a more striking visual impression,” Weisberg Cohen says. “The greater the difference between the lighter and darker colors, the stronger the contrast.” Proportion, defined as how different pieces relate to each other in terms of scale, matters too.

“Oftentimes, when you walk into a space and it feels ‘off’ but you are unable to articulate why, it’s because the proportions are incorrect,” she says. Balance is also achieved through symmetry, adds Langdon — for example, with matching nightstands and lamps on either side of your bed. “This is the easiest way to achieve symmetry,” she says. “You want the heights of items of these pieces to be the same.”

‘BALANCE’ WORK AND STYLE

In a home office, balance becomes both practical and aesthetic. Langdon suggests incorporating custom millwork or built-in cabinetry to fit the room’s size while fostering productivity. “Organization and order are key to staying productive,” she says. These subtle choices can have a big impact, helping the space feel structured and supportive.

Over in your living area, two identical chairs flanking a sofa, or matching end tables on either side, create a sense of order and visual calm. “I’m not recommending you buy furniture in ‘sets’ but it’s more the thinking of repeating a few select pieces,” Langdon says.

A coffee table should be no higher than the adjacent upholstery seat height, Weisberg Cohen adds, and side tables no higher than the corresponding arm height. “An oversized sofa will always overwhelm a petite cocktail table in the same way that a king-sized bed will crowd a small room,” she explains.

DO WHAT ‘FEELS GOOD’

After a day or two away from your home, try to enter with fresh eyes and ask yourself, “Does this space drain me or make me tired? Does this space overexcite me and make me feel like I can’t ground or relax?,” designer Gala Magriñá suggests.

Her team recently used contrast to create balance at a new ColorPop Workshop for kids in Southampton. Being an active playspace, it needed bright, colorful accents, which they balanced with a clean white backdrop.

“A maximalist space can still feel balanced even if it’s highly contrasted,” Magriñá says. “Balance to me means the perfect things, in the perfect scale, in the perfect quantity, put in the perfect place. When all of these align, it just feels good.”

The North Ferry Road Compound

Set on 1.1 private acres, this custom home features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, radiant heated floors, and a first-floor primary suite with a private deck and spa bath. The great room opens to a chef’s kitchen and wraparound mahogany deck with an indoor/outdoor fireplace. A barn-style four-car garage includes a workspace, and a guest apartment. Outside there is a beautiful gunite pool. Step s away from Bridge Street shops, dining, and North Ferry.

You may have seen her Instagram account full of East End beaches and prose, or her sweatshirts and photo prints around town, but she doesn't really consider The Salt Heir to be a clothing company or a photography project, so what's this business all about?

HRES sat down with Hannah Lasurdo to find out more about who she is and why she's exploring a business concept that celebrates the beauty of being an heir to nothing but salt air and memories.

Tell us about your connection to the Hamptons. This place is a lot of conflicting things all happening simultaneously, isn't it? I've had such an indescribable love-hate relationship with it for decades and have experienced tremendous loss and struggle here. But no matter how many times I try to leave, I always come back. Artists say it's the light, and they're not wrong — the way it bounces off the ocean and

refracts around in layers. But for me, it's more about the healing quality of the diverse, quiet places where the water meets the land, grassy marshes undulating and cliffs dropping off dramatically into the sea. These are the places where I feel most connected to myself and the world around me. I'm a descendant of baymen and lighthouse keepers, so this connection to salty places could be inherited, but I've met so

"We need to share memories, bridge gaps, be creative, connect with nature, and admire our differences. That's what this is about.

many people who aren't from here who feel the same way. There's just a magic to it that transcends our backgrounds, and that’s a significant thing out here where the class conflict is palpable.

What inspired you to start the salt heir?

I’m not starting this business as an entrepreneur — I’m doing it as an artist and an observer. It’s a response to how we’re so manipulated lately — AI, social media, even "The Hamptons" is a marketing term. I first wanted to build something that feels more analog and authentic.

My photos are blank slates of places that incite subjective memories from viewers. Memories construct who we are, and there's something powerful about how nostalgia evokes healing. The sweatshirts symbolize comfort and a settling into our authentic selves, those days when feeling good matters more than impressing anyone.

I'm not trying to sell anyone something they don't need. Don't buy my products unless they speak to something real in you and you’re ready to put them to use. We overconsume low-quality things, and it’s killing the planet and our happiness. We’re meant to live with thoughtful intent and to work hard for the few things we require. Determination and resilience give life meaning — that's how we grow.

What does the future hold for the salt heir?

I'm letting it unfold organically — I think that's the most honest way to build a slightly esoteric business. I’m working on adding more products and getting prices down for accessibility, though that's tricky since I'm producing everything responsibly and sustainably. Maybe I'll collaborate with local artists, work with the town and non-profits on preservation efforts (we already work with Peconic Baykeeper), sell my own original artworks, or bring this model to other salty places where history and nature get drowned out by tourism. I love to hear what the community thinks, so I can respond.

Who is the salt heir? Is it you?

Sort of, yeah. As someone who isn't inheriting anything tangible, even though 15 generations of my family lived on this land before me, with compounds, farmhouses, and businesses, it's all gone now. But there's a beauty in that kind of loss, in being an heir to nothing but salt air and memories — these are intangible heirlooms, ghost-like, and beautiful. But on a grander scale, I think everyone who was given the gift of connection with these salty places, no matter who we are or what we've inherited otherwise, we're all Salt Heirs.

Why Quality Visuals and Storytelling

Win in the Hamptons

HRES Sits Down with James Calandrino: His Boutique Approach to Real Estate Media and Content Creation — and Why the Hamptons’ Top Performers Trust His Team to Tell Their Story

felt rushed, formulaic, and cookie cutter — like checking a box rather than telling the story of the home. For me, it’s always been about more than just taking pictures or shooting a quick video. It’s about creating something that captures the feeling of a property and tells the story of the warmth, the elegance, and the lifestyle it offers. That’s what moves buyers.

HRES: Your work is known for its consistency and attention to detail. How do you maintain that in such a fast-paced market?

JC: We made an intentional choice early on: we’re not chasing volume. We work with agents, builders and designers who care deeply about their brand and understand the value of exceptional visuals. That allows us to focus on quality over quantity You know who’s showing up at your listing, you know the style you’re getting, and you know it’s going to be consistent every time. That trust and reliability are a big part of why clients come back again and again.

HRES: Photografik Studios handles property marketing, but you also own LI Creator Studios. How do the two businesses complement each other?

JC: Photografik tells the story of the property while Creator Studios tells the story of the person behind it. Creator Studios is a professional content and podcast space in the center of Long Island where agents, builders, and business owners of all kinds can create brand content, batch social media content, and grow their network and build trust with potential clients — all without having to figure out the equipment or production themselves. We designed it with two fully customizable sets, multi-camera production,

We’re not chasing volume — we work with agents who deeply care about their brand.

HRES: A lot of agents are looking for ways to stand out. How do you help them do that?

JC: We work with agents who understand that in the luxury market, your brand is just as important as the property you’re representing. Our visuals aren’t just about showing four walls — they’re about creating an emotional connection. On the branding side, we help our clients grow their network by giving them the tools to show up consistently, whether that’s through high-end

every project like it matters, it pays off — for the listing, for your brand, and for your network.

HRES: What’s next for you and your clients?

JC: We’re always looking for ways to help our clients create meaningful, memorable content. The market changes, technology evolves, but quality storytelling will always matter. Whether it’s a $20 million waterfront estate, a podcast that introduces an agent to a new audience or creating short form videos, our job is the same — to make sure our clients’ work and reputation stand out.

Seaside Gardening, Refined

Rooted by the Shore: Designing Gardens That Flourish by the Sea

BY MILA EVERHART

Being near the water—whether it’s the Atlantic along the South Fork or the quiet waters of the Sound on the North Fork—shapes nearly every aspect of life on the East End. Nowhere is that more apparent than in our gardens. The closer you are to the shoreline, the more the water influences your landscape. Salt, sand, sun, and wind become both challenge and opportunity— forces to be understood rather than resisted.

Wind is the most persistent element in a coastal garden. Sometimes it arrives as a soft breeze, other times as a punishing gust, but it’s always present. On properties exposed to the southwest or northeast, it can quite literally sculpt the landscape—bending trees, flagging shrubs, and damaging unprotected blooms. Salt and fine sand ride the wind, etching foliage and weakening stems. The smartest design response is one of structure: windbreaks in the form of dense, layered plantings. Privet, viburnum, and holly aren’t just privacy hedges— they’re living walls that protect the garden’s interior, creating microclimates where more sensitive species can thrive.

Salt spray leaves a quieter mark but no less destructive. Borne on ocean breezes or left behind by storms, it settles on leaves and soil, drawing out moisture and causing browning or defoliation. Strategic shielding—either with evergreen screens or thoughtfully placed fencing—can minimize its reach. Even better is choosing plants that don’t flinch at salt. Rugosa roses flourish with leathery foliage and heavily scented blooms. Bayberry and juniper bring resilience and texture. Agave and Leyland cypress add bold structure. These plants do more than tolerate tough conditions—they define coastal gardens with grace and permanence.

Sandy soil, while excellent for drainage and early warming in spring, poses its own hurdles. It lacks the organic matter and water retention needed for sustained plant health. Without intervention, even native species can struggle. The remedy is time-tested: enrich the soil with compost, mulch generously, and water deeply and deliberately. Drip irrigation systems are ideal—they conserve water, hydrate roots, and help flush excess salt. Over time, these efforts transform thin, dry soil into something more forgiving and fertile.

Sunlight by the sea is also unique—brighter, sharper, and more intense due to reflection off both water and sand. Surfaces in open gardens can heat to levels that stress even full-sun species. Mulch, once again, becomes a multitasking tool, insulating soil while reducing evaporation. Design elements like pergolas, shade sails, or strategically placed trees help diffuse light and lower temperatures, making gardens more livable—for both plants and people.

Despite these challenges, coastal gardening offers a rare kind of beauty. With the right choices, the elements that complicate planting also elevate it. A stone path softened by swaying grasses. Blooms that glow against a backdrop of weathered fencing. Beds that shift with the wind, shimmer in the light, and root themselves confidently in the sand.

The key is intention. Thoughtful plant selection, soil preparation, and protective architecture turn adversity into aesthetic. A well-designed coastal garden doesn’t fight its setting—it becomes an expression of it. Here on the East End, our landscapes can be as resilient and refined as the communities they surround.

Gardening by the shore requires patience, observation, and flexibility—but the payoff is profound. When a garden leans into its environment instead of away from it, it doesn’t just survive. It flourishes—season after season, salt or shine.

Stephen Ross is Reshaping West Palm Beach with Landmark Design, Refined Living, and Nearly $10 Billion in Visionary Investment

amenity offerings are unsurpassed.  Individual residence sizes, along with their exceptional fit and finish details will distinguish it for years to come.  The enthusiasm and caliber of the buyers being drawn to South Flagler House is quite impressive to say the least”, says exclusive listing broker Suzanne Frisbie of Corcoran.

Across the city, Ross’s residential and mixeduse projects continue to unfold. The Laurel, a newly opened luxury rental tower, is elevating downtown living with panoramic vistas and fivestar amenities. Meanwhile, 10 and 15 CityPlace— two towers currently under construction—aim

for LEED Gold certification, underscoring Ross’s commitment to sustainability and design integrity. But Ross’s ambitions are not confined to brick and mortar. His $50 million donation to Vanderbilt University to support a new West Palm Beach campus exemplifies his commitment to creating not just a beautiful city, but a thriving intellectual and business ecosystem. By attracting tech firms, financial services, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs, Ross is positioning West Palm Beach as a magnet for innovation and next-generation leadership.

With nearly $10 billion invested, Related Ross’s presence is not simply reshaping the skyline— it’s redefining the city’s cultural and economic identity. “There’s a scarcity of oceanfront property and a tremendous appetite for quality,” one developer noted. “West Palm is having a moment—and the best is still ahead.”

What’s unfolding on these palm-lined streets is not a fleeting boom, but the deliberate crafting of a legacy. Through architecture, public space, and philanthropic investment, Stephen Ross is reimagining what an American coastal city can be: timeless, connected, and alive with possibility. West Palm Beach, once considered Palm Beach’s quiet neighbor, is now stepping confidently into its own.

From everyday needs to extraordinary moments, Major Domo at Villa Miami doesn’t follow—it leads. Delivering a lifestyle defined by precision, where even the smallest details are managed with quiet intention—seamlessly, behind the scenes.

A MODERN LANDMARK IN THE MAKING:

THE RITZ-CARLTON RESIDENCES, SOUTH BEACH

South Beach has always been synonymous with bold design, cultural vibrancy, and an unmistakable energy. Now, Sobe Sky Development, a partnership between the Ben-Josef, Lowenstein, and Kanavos families, is introducing a new landmark residential development, The RitzCarlton Residences, South Beach. Comprising 30 custom-designed beach houses in the sky with panoramic ocean and city views, The Residences offer an unparalleled lifestyle with contemporary design, resort-inspired amenities, and exclusive access to ownership’s neighboring hotels, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, and the soon-to-be-renovated Sagamore.

Designed by architectural visionary Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design Inc. with interiors by renowned designer Alessandro Munge of Studio

Munge, the 15-story tower presents one- to fivebedroom residences that span up to 9,586 square feet of seamless indoor-outdoor living. Floorto-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Atlantic and the Miami Beach skyline. Select homes offer private elevators, wraparound balconies, and for those seeking the pinnacle of privacy, there are two showstopping duplex penthouses with rooftop pools, summer kitchens, and panoramic views.

More than just The Residences, the development is a fully realized lifestyle. Owners will enjoy access to over 50,000 square feet of curated amenities and à la carte services, including beach concierge and pet care. Wellness is central, with a private Technogym-powered fitness center, personal training and treatment rooms, and a tranquil sculpture garden by Naturalficial. A rooftop pool with cabanas offers a private oasis above the city, while an entertainment lounge and rotating collection of contemporary art provide spaces for both community and inspiration. In addition, the new luxury residences will feature culinary programming by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés, offering elevated dining right at residents’ doorsteps. While exclusive, the building maintains a sense of approachability and service is intuitive and personalized, in line with the legendary name of The Ritz-Carlton.

The location further cements the development’s stature. The stretch of Collins Avenue between 17th and 21st Street is rapidly emerging as South Beach’s

new epicenter of luxury, fueled by nearly $2 billion in transformative hotel and residential investment from some of the world’s finest hospitality brands. In collaboration with the City of Miami Beach and the State of Florida, Sobe Sky is also leading a $12 million redevelopment of the 100 block of Lincoln Road, including an enhanced Beachwalk entrance. The project, recently approved by the Miami Beach City Commission, is in the design and permitting phase and will deliver a dramatic new gateway to the area’s vibrant cultural core, enhancing both walkability and livability in one of the nation's most renowned destinations.

“While crafting a new standard of luxury living, we’ve also made a significant investment in elevating Lincoln Road,” says Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, coowner of The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach and cofounder of Flag Luxury Group. “Our vision with The Ritz-Carlton Residences is to honor the area’s rich history while ushering in a new era of modern luxury. Through meticulous design and thoughtful collaboration, we are redefining what it means to call one of the world’s most iconic destinations home.”

As South Beach continues to change, The RitzCarlton Residences will serve as both a reflection of its current moment and a lasting tribute to its timeless appeal. With move-ins expected in 2028, ownership opportunities are now available. For details, visit rcbeachhouses.com or contact the sales gallery at sales@rcbeachhouses.com.

THE ART OF CREATING Palm Beach Chic

BY MARIETTE WILLIAMS

Step into almost any Florida hotel, and you’ll find a familiar design playbook: wicker furniture, whitewashed walls, and pops of blue and green. While many South Florida properties embrace this beachy aesthetic, the recently opened Palm House in Palm Beach makes a bold departure with its exuberant maximalism. I recently visited the hotel, eager to explore the new property, and I left my stay impressed by the unique take on Palm Beach chic. If you’re looking for a luxury stay in a vibrant tropical setting, here’s what you need to know about Palm House, Palm Beach’s newest design darling.

PALM HOUSE HISTORY

Opened in November 2024, Palm House is the first new hotel in Palm Beach in four years. Additionally, Palm House marks the first hotel in Palm Beach under the London-based L+R Hotel’s Iconic Luxury Hotels brand collection. The property also holds a significant place in the

reopened following a complete revitalization that blends its rich past with a vibrant, modern design.

Located on Royal Palm Way, just two blocks from the beach, the three-story structure has a punchy, coral façade. The boutique hotel is

a bit unassuming at first, but once I stepped into the lobby, I was swept into a stunning, whimsical pink wonderland. The redesign is a collaborative effort from Atlanta-based architecture firm Cooper Carry, Londonbased interior design company Muza Lab, and Art Consultant Minda Dowling, who have reimagined the preppy pinks and greens of vintage Palm Beach into something fresh and bold.

PROPERTY WIDE PREPPY REVIVAL

The lobby feels like stepping into a posh living room: jewel-toned couches and armchairs are positioned around marble coffee tables, and there are two show-stopping floor-to-ceiling seashell murals, hand-designed by local artist Christa Wilm. A few steps from the seashelladorned check-in desk is the Palm House Dining Room and Palm Bar, both filled with (big and little) design surprises. The Dining Room’s curved, teal leather booths feature gold inlaid trim, accented with plump, pink pillows. Custom-designed, hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the opulent theme is carried over to the bar, which features a pink marble countertop and pink and gold barstools.

The rest of the property also reveals a few nostalgic surprises. In the hallways, large-scale prints by the iconic American photographer Slim Aarons decorate the walls, paying homage

to Palm Beach in the 1950s and 1960s. The guest rooms feel light and airy with vintage-inspired coral-colored tufted headboards, antique mirrors, and curved archways that lead to marble bathrooms. Outside, the retro Sunset Pool Deck feels like a tropical sanctuary, complete with striped awnings and rosy-hued cabana beds, lining an expansive heated pool.

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE PERKS

The hotel features 79 luxurious suites, but the pièce de résistance is the Presidential Suite, a colossal two-story suite spanning 1,982 sq. ft. The moment you step inside, it’s hard to know where to look first: the Art Deco glass ball chandelier, the oversized art about the dining

table, or the seductive, emerald coach that’s curved towards the floor-to-ceiling windows. On the second floor, the sleeping area features an Alaskan King-sized bed (the largest hotel bed in Palm Beach) and a wall-to-wall headboard. The one-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom suite also features a kitchen, full-size living room, dining room, and two private balconies overlooking the pool.

It’s easy to see why locals already love Palm House. Ideally situated in the heart of Palm Beach, the property offers up preppy charm complemented by high-end service and amenities. From the luxurious Presidential Suite to the expansive heated pool, every aspect of Palm House is designed to pamper and indulge. It’s a historic revitalization that seems to hit all the right (stylistic) notes.
