"Winterset," located in the charming hamlet of Quiogue, was built around 1910 as the impressive stable that housed the horses, carriages, and stable hands which serviced the grand estate of Meadowcroft, owned by the T.E. Conklin family. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before the string of small towns became famous as "The Hamptons," these large seaside estates had to be self-sufficient. Attached to Meadowcroft was a 100-acre farm that included the stable. After WWII and the gradual modernization of the area, these parcels were sold off. In 1947, the stable was converted to a residence and sold to the Winters family who named it "Winterset." In 2007, the home was sold to a noted NYC interior and architectural designer. Little had changed since the 1947 renovation, and her goal was to coax it into the 21st century while respecting, and enhancing, its past.Along with original fir tongue and grooved ceilings, period appropriate details, and a state-of-the-art kitchen, the home has seven bedrooms, 5 and one half-baths, and sprawling manicured lawns with century-old trees on 2.25+/- acres, with ample space for both a pool and a tennis court.Its rich history, combined with its meticulous renovation, makes this a rare and precious commodity to be loved and lived in for generations to come.
