4 Apaquogue Rd

Designed by Bates Masi + Architects and built by K. Romeo Inc., this modern 3,500+/- sq. ft. home employs clever strategies to maximize the sense of space both indoors and out. The modern design incorporates subtle traditional inflections that impart a feeling of warmth and comfort to the sleek interiors and features handmade built-ins including cabinetry, stairs, a beautifully crafted custom screen wall, and more. The flooring throughout is of roasted red oak. The light-filled open living room with a soaring, vaulted double-height ceiling of clear red cedar has a two-story wall of windows, a wood-burning fireplace, glass doors to a stone patio, and an adjacent screened porch for al fresco dining. The impeccable eat-in kitchen is outfitted with artful custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero. An outdoor barbecue area lies just beyond the door. A bedroom suite and powder room complete the first floor. Stairs ascend to the second floor alongside a screen wall beside a light well open to the lower level. Upstairs are four bedrooms: two bedrooms sharing a beautifully tiled bath, with pocket doors to close them off from the hallway, another bedroom with an en-suite bath, and the master bedroom with a generous private terrace and a luxe bath with double vanity and deep soaking tub. In the finished lower level you will find a bedroom suite, wet bar with stainless steel refrigerator, a lounge/living area, laundry room with Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer, counter space and pull-down ironing board, and a storage area. Outdoors are the heated gunite pool and pool house with wet bar, half bath, and ingenious outdoor shower with a door to the bar and a door to the powder room, set amid an expanse of emerald lawn with colorful crape myrtles along one side and accented with graceful Japanese maples and specimen trees.
