Listed with Hamptons Real Estate for $16,500,000 (~€15.3M)

A waterfront residence in Sag Harbor’s North Haven enclave has come to market for $16.5 million (~€15.3M), offering a distinctly modern architectural approach in a region more commonly defined by traditional shingle-style homes.

Set on an elevated bluff overlooking Noyac Bay, the property faces open water toward Shelter Island, with a position that provides both exposure and privacy within one of the Hamptons’ more secluded residential areas.

Completed in 2005, the house was designed by architect William J. Reese using a restrained palette of concrete, steel, glass, and wood. Large expanses of glazing frame the surrounding landscape, bringing in natural light and establishing a continuous visual connection between interior spaces and the water beyond.

The architecture is defined by clean geometry and minimal ornamentation, with a layout that prioritizes openness and fluid transitions between living areas.

Reese (1943–2011), a Long Island–based architect, designed more than 200 primarily residential projects across the East End. His work reflects a modernist sensibility influenced by figures such as Rudolf Schindler and West Coast modernism — an approach that set his projects apart within the Hamptons, where traditional forms have historically dominated.

His houses are often characterized by an emphasis on structure, proportion, and material clarity, and have been featured in publications including Metropolitan Home, House & Garden, and Glamour. One of his projects was named “House of the Year” by Metropolitan Home.
