Tucked away in the Amagansett Dunes, one block from the beach, this exceptional home was designed by award-winning architect Charles Gwathmey in the 1970s. Gwathmey, a member of the famed architectural group the "New York Five," is recognized for his significant contributions to postmodern design. Known as the Haupt Residence, the pedigreed 43 Gilberts Path was featured in Architectural Record's "Record Houses of 1979" and received the "1979 Awards of Excellence for Design." Its original postmodern splendor has been fully updated, accommodating a luxurious 21st century lifestyle. The living/dining, kitchen, and guest bedroom open onto an expansive pool terrace, perfect for entertaining. The living room boasts a wall of windows to the south, double-height ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, original built-ins with hi-fi system, and custom sofas. An elegant Gwathmey designed "Rosalie" table highlights the dining room. The newly modernized kitchen features custom cabinetry, a 12-foot island, and Sub-zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances. Sliding glass doors allow for a seamless transition to the terrace with a heated 40'x20' saltwater pool, access to the sauna area, and Jee-O outdoor shower. With the beach just a short walk from the property, the sound of crashing ocean waves and a cool breeze are ever-present.The primary suite, a half-floor up, features a private deck, fireplace, original built-ins, and a magnificent, newly renovated bathroom which has a 13-foot high shower encased in natural light, along with heated floors, a soaking tub, and Dornbracht fixtures. A 40-foot skylight runs from the primary suite to the study and guest wing. The guest wing features two bedrooms with built-ins and private balconies, a full bathroom, and a wet-bar, while the study offers a serene place to work, and is appointed with a built-in double-wide desk, as well as its own half-bath. In recent months, 33 solar panels have been added to the roof with net metering, and the house is scheduled to receive a Tesla Powerwall this summer. The home also features a full basement, which is unheard of today in the Dunes. Truly a turnkey property, notable and negotiable items include Gwathmey-designed furniture, Min beds, and a Richard Shultz outdoor furniture set, all of which perfectly complement the space. While fully modernized, the excellence and intelligence of this home's original design continues to shine. Spending time at 43 Gilberts Path reveals its inimitable architectural magic, again and again.
