Harmonious Elegance
in the Hamptons
12 Two Trees Lane would turn heads regardless of where on Earth, or any planet for that matter, it was located. That it happens to stand in the Hamptons, however, makes this exceptional residence even more extraordinary. Custom-built and completed in 2018 by Tom O’Donoghue, the three-level home, which features a full-service elevator, is remarkably honed inside and out. Sophisticated design — interiors by AD100 and ELLE Decor A-List honoree Robert Stilin, architecture by Arcologica Architecture, landscapes by LaGuardia Design Group — crafts a contemporary interpretation of traditional yet timeless forms. Owing to touches like art-gallery-scale walls, bespoke millwork, and an innate sense of style, it conveys the idea of a “modern barn” in a way that doesn’t feel contrived, but natural and universally appealing.
The charm on display is immediate and abundant, no matter which half of the Dutch front door swings open first. Sunlight climbs the lofty ceilings of a double-height entry foyer, beckoning exploration for not-so-buried treasures throughout. As if equipped with a magnet, the living room pulls you straight ahead into its welcoming field. Featuring a coffered ceiling above, the space is an open invitation to be together. An artfully conceived media lounge with a full bar lends a reliable hand in entertaining proceedings, as undoubtedly does the adjacent kitchen.
Ideal for serious, aspiring, and clueless chefs alike, the kitchen sports plentiful prep space — including a gargantuan center island — multiple walls with built-in storage and shelving, and top-range appliances. Vaulted ceilings open the room and amplify an already pleasant atmosphere. Meanwhile, an herb garden outside provides the means to utilize the freshest ingredients imaginable. Once all is chopped, cooked, and plated, head for the sunlit dining room, delightfully casual breakfast room, or to the relaxed perch of a stool at the island.

Leisure looks lavish at this exceptional modern farmhouse, a coveted Bridgehampton setting on 1.84 acres.
These immaculate grounds alternate between thoughtfully designed gathering areas and splendid wide-open ones, which make you feel nurtured by nature and provide literal and metaphorical room to breathe. A broad covered patio blends indoor and outdoor lifestyles, directly connecting to the living room, office, and more. Gorgeous trees frame another patio a few steps away, where a built-in outdoor kitchen with bar seating confidently bears the weight of al fresco dining dreams. Naturalistic landscaping and a rock slab diving board lend the 70-foot heated gunite pool the aura of a secret oasis. The nearby pool house is multi-functional, outfitted with a fireplace for intimate evenings and a kitchenette with its own beer tap.
A first-floor junior primary bedroom has everything one could want out of their personal private space, including a fireplace, a covered patio, custom closets, and a marble-clad shower in the ensuite. Yet, it’s the upstairs primary suite that takes center stage among the home’s six sleeping quarters. Ascend the staircase and uncover utmost privacy down a separate wing, serenely removed from the action and distractions. Light filters in from windows high and low and fills the room from floor to vaulted ceiling. There’s a separate sitting area, a fireplace, a dressing room, and two terraces. An extra-large windowed bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub and a voluminous shower stall for maximum relaxation. Elsewhere on the second floor, a winsome living room adds another terrace facing over the backyard.
Head downstairs to a finished lower level, where a media and billiards room stands ready for those days when beach weather goes on vacation. You’ll also find an impressive temperature-controlled,1,500-bottle wine library, which in true library fashion boasts a rolling ladder to reach those top-shelf selections.
When work takes priority, the main level delivers a home office worthy of everyone’s inner executive. Wood paneling predominates the walls and built-in bookshelves, and wood coffers frame a textured ceiling, giving the room a stripped-down yet refined quality. For a different brand of hard work, a vaulted, windowed gym offers plentiful space to work up a sweat.

While the outdoors are nice to look at from the interior’s friendly confines, they’re even better to experience, touch, and be among.
Certainly, it also doesn’t hurt that the property abuts and boasts scenic overlooks across 68 acres of reserve, Atlantic Golf Club, and Two Trees equestrian farm. Irresistible downtowns in Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, and Water Mill are also enticingly close, as are beloved ocean beaches, happening marinas, locally owned farmstands and East End cultural mainstays like the Parrish Art Museum, Wölffer Estate Vineyard, and the Hampton Classic showgrounds. Gloriously sprawling nature, verdant greens and fairways, magnificent horses, elbow-rubbing hotspots — what’s more quintessentially Hamptons than that?
