9 Behringer Ln, Shelter Island, NY 11964

Sited on two gently rolling acres, this quiet contemporary is conveniently located in close proximity to the beach, boats, golf, tennis, and resorts. The facade complements the landscape, framing a pastoral tableau of dappled woods, a tranquil pond, and winter glimpses of West Neck Bay, while the home's orientation supports passive solar and airflow. Step across the threshold, and into the clever, meandering floor plan spanning four levels of living space. The heart of this home, its main room, boasts lofty ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace adroitly tucked in the corner, ideal for winter days. An adjacent dining area harmonizes with the kitchen, a half bath, and access to the attached two car garage. On the second floor, the primary suite is combines a sitting room with pocket doors to the bedroom, and a spacious full bath with soaking tub and twin vanities. In an intermediary level from the living room, two bedrooms share a full bath alongside a laundry area. Below is the lower level, offering a family room with doors that open to the grounds, along with a workshop and a mechanical room. Outside, a Gunite pool surrounded by wooden decks nestles within the property's rear woods. Winding paths thread through the trees, unveiling the pond's magic, a haven for peeper frogs, tree toads, avian visitors, and the quiet rhythm of turtles. This home is more than just walls; it's a poetic ode to nature's embrace, a unique haven of serenity.
