About This Property
The Andrew Geller 'Antler House' is a turn-key, fully-restored
luxury beach house and one-of-a- kind work of art. Andrew Geller
was not only the preeminent midcentury architect for beach houses
on Long Island, but one of the most important mid century
architects in the world. Affectionately coined 'The Architect of
Happiness', some of the common exaltations of Geller's work include
'whimsical, breathtaking, playful, breezy, joyful, original, and
dream houses'. Geller was truly a dreamer who believed his mission
was to 'liberate the American vacation house'. Every one of his
homes was a portrait with unique form, emphasis on context, and a
Bauhaus-inspired signature style that transformed domestic space
into abstract sculptural art. Today, more than ever, Geller's work
is coming into full appreciation and no house has been more at the
forefront of this awakening than 'The Antler House". Designed and
built in 1968, the Antler House is perhaps the most inventive and
playful of all Geller's beach houses. The heart of the home is the
expansive great room with cedar-paneled cathedral ceilings, walls
of glass, and an open floor plan. The perfect place for
entertaining, it is perched on the 2nd floor with iconic 'owl eye'
floor to ceiling windows which frame and capture the sunrise,
sunset, and idyllic forest views. The iconic pitched double-height
ceiling and walls of glass create a spiritual connection to the
outdoors. The great room opens up to a large raised deck, set
within the surrounding treetops to continue the celebration of
indoor/outdoor living with outdoor seating, cooking, and access to
the yard. A bonus loft area above the 2nd floor has marvelous
treetop views. This delightful space evokes the whimsy of a tree
house with its floor to ceiling windows and geometric 'origami'
roofline. Situated on the ground floor, the bedrooms receive the
benefits of 'upside down' houses where you sleep close to the earth
and refresh your circadian rhythm. The primary bedroom has an
ensuite bathroom, iconic floor to ceiling 'kite' window, and
private entrance with deck. Everywhere you look, magical and
practical moments come together with triangle glass windows for
peek-a-boo views, hide-a-way nooks for children of all ages, and
double carport to keep your classic rides safe. Escapism,
connection to nature, and an untamed spirit is what the design of
the Antler House celebrates most of all. The setting of the Antler
House is second to none. Just two blocks from Napeague Bay and one
of the best family beaches in all of the Hamptons (Louse Point),
the Antler House is an easy 5- minute bike ride to swimming,
kayaking, and paddle boarding. This home is much more than just a
world class beach house, with it's lush setting on a flag lot with
over 1.1 acres of oak forest surrounding the property provides
total privacy, security, and escapism for all seasons. Andrew
Geller was a conservationist at heart and believed that no home
should ever occupy more than 20% of the lot. 'Bigger', said Geller,
'is not always better...' The indigenous landscape provides a 'womb
around the home' and was carefully designed to protect as well as
celebrate the natural beauty of the Hamptons. The iconic 'owl eye
windows' are placed up high to mimic the trees and woodland
creatures, as well as to frame and capture the majesty of the
rising and setting sun. The property is across the street from a
nature preserve for hiking, mountain biking, or just plain getting
lost. The Antler House was completely restored and gut renovated to
better than new condition with an eye towards luxury in 2020 while
maintaining the integrity of this midcentury masterpiece. To ensure
this work of art was protected, Andrew Geller's grandson was hired
as a historic consultant for the project, working side by side with
the new architect, builder, and designer. The Antler House is both
a journey and a destination to celebrate, create forever memories,
and even spark the imagination.
