Description

Mermaid's Oasis Wake up in the trees and make your way to the beach. Mermaid's Oasis is a one-of-a-kind Montauk retreat, reminiscent of a treehouse yet offering all the comforts and amenities of a modern beach home. Built in 1982 and lovingly maintained within the same family ever since, the home has been exceptionally cared for and retains a wonderful sense of character and authenticity. With a strong rental history, it also offers an attractive opportunity for those looking for a Montauk home with proven rental appeal. True to its namesake-fun, mystical and a little unexpected-this home is full of character and tucked among the trees in the desirable and peaceful Hither Woods neighborhood. Beach access is less than half a mile from the property via an easement, making it easy to enjoy the coastline while still returning to the privacy of this wooded retreat. At the heart of the home is a dramatic great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace and walls of windows that bring the surrounding greenery indoors. The open-concept kitchen, living and dining areas create an inviting central gathering space equally suited to relaxed summer days and entertaining. The primary bedroom with en-suite bath is privately situated on one side of the main level, while two additional guest bedrooms and a shared full bath are located on the opposite side of the great room, creating a thoughtful separation between sleeping areas. A spiral staircase leads to a versatile loft-style bonus room-ideal as additional guest accommodations, a home office or a quiet place to retreat. The fully finished lower level offers even more space to spread out, with its own private entrance and direct access to the pool. It includes an additional bedroom, full bath, living area and regulation-size pool table-perfect for entertaining, accommodating guests or enjoying a rainy Montauk afternoon. Outside, the home truly comes into its own. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the property features a heated swimming pool that can be controlled remotely-making it easy to get the pool ready before you arrive for the weekend-along with an outdoor shower and two spacious decks with plenty of room for lounging, dining and grilling. The private, wooded setting creates the feeling of a secluded summer oasis while still offering convenient access to the beach. Whether gathering with family and friends, working remotely among the trees, spending the afternoon poolside or simply checking out of the everyday, Mermaid Oasis captures the relaxed, slightly magical spirit of Montauk living.
