18 Kendall Ln

One of the most historically significant Southampton estates on the market, beautifully rebuilt from the ground up, Rose House, (c. 1780) is a notable, 1.5-acre property with 150' of water frontage, two docks, 10,000+/- sqft of luxury living space, 8 ensuite bedrooms, 12 baths, a grandfathered boat house, and incredible sunset views over Wooley's Pond and Shelter Island. Originally built by David Rose, the namesake of Roses Grove, whose family owned most of North Sea throughout the 17th and 18th centuries-this historical home has been impeccably redesigned for modern luxury living. Along the rear façade, a grand wall of glass accents the picturesque water views, the interiors are sunlit, open, and airy, featuring shiplap, exposed oak ceiling beams, white marble, and modern crown moldings-yet it retains irreplicable historical features such as a grandfathered third floor with roof deck, wide plank white oak floors, and an original antique brick wall along the front facade. Enter the main level to a generous foyer with a powder room and walk-in coat closet, to find three distinct entertaining areas formal dining room, living room, and great room-each with its own fireplace, a generously appointed open-concept chef's kitchen with butler's pantry, 60" Wolff range, three dishwashers, three sinks, and six feet of cooling-numerous rear patio access points, a first-floor master suite with modern spa bath and private patio, plus a convenient side entrance with oversized mudroom, back stairwell, powder room, ample storage and access to the attached 3-car garage with heated floors and 50 amp electric charging stations. The second level showcases a generous master suite with fireplace, wet bar, spa bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, and double walk-in closet- plus four more well-appointed bedroom suites, an open mezzanine, generous storage, and a laundry room. The grandfathered third level features a large indoor mezzanine with fireplace and powder room plus access to the Ipe rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen, BBQ, lounge area, and breathtaking sunset views. The finished lower level, of course, features a movie theater, gym with sauna and changing room, second laundry room, two more ensuite bedrooms, plus a large entertaining area with wet bar and full bath. The exteriors are no less grand, lined in Estate Boxwoods, highlighting a priceless 250-year-old Copper Beech tree in its own sunken garden, and showcasing an oversized black granite infinity pool with spa overlooking the water. One dock along Wooley's Pond accommodates both kayaks and paddle boards, while the other, up to a 40' motor or sailboat, with quick access to the Peconic Bays and the ocean beyond through Shinnecock Inlet. With beautifully designed lighting indoors and out, including handcrafted Bevolo gas lanterns, wine storage, a whole-house sound system, impressive mechanicals, and simply too many amenities to list, this little piece of history, in such a stunning location, is a treasured find indeed.
