You know we have been looking at new homes for a while. This one is the first that felt like, okay, this checks the boxes
The granite front porch sold me right away. wine and cheese with everyone and with the larger width and depth, you can see they built the home with this in mind. And the kitchen is exactly what I wanted because this is where we all hang out and this has the built in refrigerator, freezer, double ovens with the pantry right there, and the island is set up so your not doing that awkward move over dance. And I have never seen this before, a 45 workstation sink is genius. Two people can actually use it without elbow wars.
Then you see the laundry room and it's amazing. In this 5 bedroom house you have 4 slide out drawers to hold the 4 laundry baskets and since they have a set place, the room stays organized. It also has a pet washing station with slate floors and tiled walls it's just a smart use of space. The main floor suite is perfect, and the walk in closet has lighting right on the hanger bars so you can actually see everything. The bathroom has a curbless shower shower, built in bench, dual vanities and a toto wash-let toilet. It is not every house that has these features.
The finished basement doesn't feel like a basement as it has big windows, double doors out to the pool stairs, bright and open. It's set up for movie nights with Savant controlled speaker and media throughout the house, a beverage center, and even a steam shower down there. Upstairs you have another primary suite as well as two more bedrooms with baths so the layout works so well.
Outside is straight up resort mode. Covered granite porch with wall-wash lighting, speakers, a pool with a 6 swim deck for in water lounge chairs and umbrellas, sheer descent water feature and bluestone patio and walkways, all the low maintenance stuff we actually want.
And the location is perfect for getting people out of the house. The neighborhood has a path to Goose Creek with kayak and paddle board racks to jump on the water and head over to the sandy beach at Goose Creek beach. This is also 15 minutes to South Harbor Rd beach without the car and Croateux Winery. iconic for the French country vibes is basically just around the corner.

Okay, so I went to this house and it actually just works. You come in and there's this built in coat rack with cubbies for shoes (like finally, a spot for beach stuff). The first floor is totally open, living, dining, kitchen are all connected so everyone can hang out while you cook. Off the kitchen there's a deck set up for sitting and eating, and it looks right out to a cute backyard. The mudroom is clutch, storage cabinets, laundry, and a half bath, and a door straight outside. Plus there's a detached garage that's basically your beach gear locker, and the beach is literally a block away. It's just been completely renovated but still feels like Greenport Village, and with the low maintenance coastal siding, new windows, insulation, roof, furnace already done, we don't have to do any work. Also, you're like .3 miles to the shops, LIRR, Hampton Jitney and Shelter Island Ferry, so weekends are super easy for adventures. This is a Holiday Home that can work for us.

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and breathtaking sunrises over Gardiner Bay in this charming four-bedroom, two bath coastal retreat. Nestled in the heart of Orient, this home blends classic North Fork charm with modern comforts. Step inside to find a bright, airy interior with open-concept living spaces, hardwood floors, and windows that capture stunning water views. The spacious kitchen offers ample counter space and flows seamlessly into the dining and living room areas, perfect for entertaining. Outside, enjoy a private porch overlooking the bay and a short stroll to a private sandy beach and Orient’s quaint village. Whether as a year-round residence, weekend escape or investment property, this gem offers the best of the North Fork.

Okay, so the first thing, you get out of the car and this farmhouse style has the front porch that actually has room for a side table and chair to have my morning coffee in peace that I have wanted so badly. Then inside, the half bath is right next to the front door, but it's tucked far enough away from the open living room and kitchen that it doesn't feel awkward when all of us are hanging out. The kitchen has the paneled fridge, a real pantry closet and open shelves that I have always liked. The kitchen sink is setup where I am staring out to the backyard when I am stuck doing dishes, so good. They even say there is room for a pool. Then the dining room has this full glass slider to the yard, so the whole back of the house is just filled with light, you can even see the view of the yard from the living room. Upstairs, the ensuite bathroom is honestly my favorite surprise, the floor is so interesting, and the whole space feels calm with the finishes they picked. Even the downstairs bathroom has this beautiful wallpaper that makes this new construction feel intentional, not an afterthought.
What I love is this location makes you feel like you found a secret corner of Greenport. You're literally tucked up against the maple tree forest, so it's quiet and green in the best way. The backyard is fully fenced so if the decision is for the pool, it doesn't feel tight. And because this one is New Construction, everything just feels solid and reliable.
Best part, the house is also a half mile away from the LIRR train station and Hampton Jitney stop to get to NYC. I think this might be the one, you have to come see it.
