24 On the Bluff is a work of art—a sculptural tribute to vision, emotion, and architectural inheritance. Constructed from concrete and dark mahogany, lined with bamboo, and bathed in open light, the space is a living extension of architectural identity and vision—every element intentional.
24 on the Bluff is currently for sale, represented co-exclusively by Laura White.
Past the gated entry, the first glimpse of the hilltop sanctuary reveals its integral design. The home emerges from the earth as a dramatic concrete structure, softened by rich mahogany and – almost impossibly – in harmony with its natural surroundings. In many ways, its foundation began in the Ice Age, when glaciation formed the land’s topography, exposing the ancient soil and stone that the home now echoes.
Speaking with the home’s single owners, their nuanced understanding of architecture becomes instantly apparent. The home pulls from the greats, but the owners’ voice guides the vision. “We are decisive. Once we had the vision, we stuck to it. These concrete walls are sculptures—we didn’t cover them. The mahogany slats, the millwork—they follow a modernist philosophy. I had to remind the builders. I was involved in every detail.”
When you are here, the home causes you to consider architecture as an experience rather than a form. For me, the quiet contemplation of space, light, and materials is the foundation for all inspiring architecture.
Like the owners, the North Haven Village home approval board understood the home’s vision immediately. “When the house first appeared before the board, they said: “Finally.” Approved with no notes. They saw the connection with Long Island’s well-established contributions to modern architecture.”
With years of experience representing premier Hamptons waterfronts, co-exclusive listing agent Laura White sees 24 On the Bluff as a rare convergence of art and architecture. “This residence is a true modernist statement,” she shares. “The concrete is treated as sculpture, the mahogany softens every line, and the light is choreographed from morning to night. There’s a rigor to the materials, but it never feels cold—the house is curated, not just constructed.”
WATERFRONT LOCATION
On just under 2 hilltop acres, every inch hints at the beautiful waterside bluffs abutting the entire western grounds that overlook Noyack Bay with views of Shelter Island and Jessup Neck. Maturely planted trees and expertly manicured landscaping create a cohesive aesthetic environment that seamlessly blends natural and intentional spaces.
Quiet private streets meander toward the waterside property – a well-manicured neighborhood that feels distinctly Caribbean, lined with lush vegetation and the soft whisper of salted breezes in the air. Separated, but not removed from life in Sag Harbor Village, life on this peninsular enclave is a luxury in its own right.
ARCHITECTURE
The design ethos is centered on simplicity, as conceived by Bill Reis, AIA, in collaboration with the current owners. However, simplicity at this scale is anything but easy and requires an “uncompromising respect for the architecture.”
A vision this cohesive starts with a strict commitment to material continuity.
Concrete | Glass | Stainless Steel | Mahogany | Venetian Plaster
The restrained palette of building materials streamlines the home’s aesthetic and reinforces the underlying architectural vision. As one of the current owners muses, “there is an honesty to concrete.” That honesty is expressed in every sense – the richly stained mahogany that softens sightlines, halos of clearstory windows that balance brightness all day, and elongated concrete walls that extend from the interior to the exterior.
The second level speaks in quieter, more contemplative tones. A large living room/home office and patio are wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, evoking an elevated treehouse. Glass doors egress to the perfect patio perch for catching filtered light and bay breezes that drift off the bluff. On the waterside, the concrete wall creates the perfect frame for the natural moving canvas; opposite, the extended facade presents a lofted open-air space just beyond the bedroom.
Beyond what is seen and felt is the most lasting impression—an invitation for inspiration, a subtle, lingering curiosity born from masterful architecture and natural beauty.
White is equally clear about the power of its setting and amenities. “You’re perched above Noyack Bay with cinematic views of Shelter Island and Jessup Neck, yet the property still feels intimate and resort-worthy,” she says. “The lap pool, gym, sauna, and multiple outdoor terraces already deliver a luxurious lifestyle, and the lower level offers exciting potential for the next owner—whether that’s a screening room, studio, or additional lounge space, it’s an opportunity to tailor the home even more closely to how they live.”
