n the Hamptons, a mid-century modernist gem has taken flight. The Butterfly House, a 1976 masterpiece, is now on the market for $2.75 million. This stylish retreat, nestled at 6 Masthead Lane in East Hampton, boasts a unique "butterfly" roof design that's been captivating Long Island hearts since its inception.
Sally Hershberger, a renowned hairdresser to the stars, has put her stamp on this property with a renovation inspired by the 1970s. The result is a home that exudes classic California charm, with an open-plan layout, natural woods, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.
As you step inside, you're greeted by a loft-like great room, complete with a chef's kitchen and a fireplace that anchors the space. The two cozy bedrooms are bathed in light, thanks to the abundance of windows and sliding glass doors that lead out to the wraparound deck.
But it's not just about the interior – the Butterfly House is also a nature lover's paradise. With its own pool, lounge area, and landscaped gardens, this property feels like a secluded oasis. And when you're ready to venture out, the nearby Cedar Point County Park offers nature trails and stunning views of Gardiners Bay.
This Hamptons landmark has been lovingly restored by Hershberger, who purchased it last spring for $1.4 million. With its unique design and tranquil setting, the Butterfly House is a true gem that's sure to captivate anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the heart of Long Island's most exclusive community.
