Nestled in the heart of Water Mill South, this historic luxury estate is a rare opportunity to own a masterpiece of Shingle Style architecture. Renovated in 2007 and conceived and built in 1884 by Henry Turbell Rose, Rosemary Lodge stands as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and enduring elegance. Just minutes from the ocean, 0.93-acre grounds featuring a 4,110-square-foot residence, pool house, and a pool. This beautifully designed home boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom. Impeccably preserved, the home retains its museum-quality original paneling, hand-carved woodwork, stained glass windows, and intricate moldings. Each of the five bedrooms was individually crafted, showcasing a unique species of wood. The central living hall, paneled in ash, sets the tone for this architectural gem, while four working fireplaces feature hand-carved mantels, hidden cupboards, hand-painted designs, and custom tile inserts. Throughout the home, delicate floral motifs, ships, butterflies, and birds are carefully etched into the wood, along with the initials "RL," an homage to its storied past.
