Where Historic Meets Modern in Southampton Village

Mark Greenwald is a bonafide Southampton Real Estate expert. He knows the Village and town better than anyone, having represented many extraordinary homes in his 20+ year career in Hamptons real estate. Mark isn’t prone to hyperbole, so I pay attention when he gets excited about a property.

It’s easy to see why Mark loves talking about 15 Pelham Street in Southampton. Mark says, “Beyond the obvious attractive features—large and luxurious 6-bed, 7 bath home, Southampton Village location, infinity edge gunite pool, gym—15 Pelham offers the lucky new owner a genuinely special forever home in the Hamptons that is move-in ready, sited on a large .58 acre, and seamlessly blends historical with modern architecture.”

You’ve sold many homes in the Hamptons; particularly, you’re known as a Southampton Village expert. What sets this home apart from other homes in Southampton?

15 Pelham is an artfully designed and distinctive home. Highlighting a home’s character, its sense of place and time is sometimes overshadowed by square footage or other amenities—15 Pelham is a real union of timeless elegance and modern luxury.

Who are the buyers most excited about 15 Pelham?

Definitely, I’m meeting discerning customers looking for a home with outstanding character and unique features. The customer, with a creative bent, looked at the other options in the Village and Town but is still waiting to be wowed by a home to match their unique style and sensibilities.

This is a large lot for Southampton Village, right?

For sure, properties of this size don’t come to market often in Southampton Village. Everyone who has seen the property has been attracted to the spacious grounds with lots of open sky. It really is your own oasis behind the perimeter plantings, so it’s also totally private.

Beyond the size, what makes the backyard so special?

Let’s start with the most obvious, the gorgeous infinity-edge waterfall pool and expertly maintained landscaping. Total serenity with bright skies, and tall mature planted trees, the yard gives you the full “I’m on vacation” feeling. Nighttime is just as elegant—and great for memorable entertaining—with an outdoor fireplace and excellent exterior lighting.

Part of the charm comes from how the home seamlessly blends historic details and modern amenities. What are some of the most notable historic inclusions?

So much! Previous renovations have been carefully undertaken to maintain its artisan qualities. The historic accents the new perfectly with the most gorgeously refinished 100-year-old antique wood floors and paneling, stone walls, and fireplace from the original carriage house.

What other features make this property stand out?

The spiraling, dramatic staircase circulates from the lower level up to the second floor and helps define one of the living areas; the lower level has an incredible glass folding wall that opens, providing abundant natural light and access to a beautiful garden with winding stone walkway that leads to the pool area.

When you say “Move-in ready,” you mean it. What can the winning buyers expect when this beautiful home is theirs?

I’ve worked in real estate long enough to know not to promise something I can’t deliver—this wonderful home is the real deal. You can expect your new purchase to be perfectly maintained and immaculate. Nothing left to do but enjoy their new home in the Hamptons.
