A Harry Bates–Designed Home Is Available to Rent in East Hampton
By the time Harry Bates designed this 1967 home for a young family in East Hampton, New York, the architect was already known for his modernist residences throughout the area. Roughly four decades later, the local firm Bates leads with architect Paul Masi—aptly named Bates Masi—revisited the property to renovate and expand the home for its current owners.
The 1967 home architect Harry Bates designed for a family in East Hampton, New York, was renovated almost 40 years later by Bates Masi, the original architect’s own firm.
Bates Masi’s renovation and expansion of the beach residence salvaged much of the structure’s original cypress decking and incorporated subtle additions to the exterior and interior. The main living area is characterized by red cypress timber paneling, a towering stone fireplace, and a full wall of glazing. Sliding glass doors connect the space to a large deck that looks out over the woodland lot.
The main living area features red cypress timber paneling and a full-height stone fireplace.
The 1,400-square-foot residence is currently listed as an exclusive holiday rental by Jenny Landey and Zack Dayton of Sotheby’s International Realty.
In addition to the main living areas, the renovated home includes three bedrooms and two baths.
A slatted cypress divider separates the living/dining area from a new staircase that was added during the renovation to replace the original spiral stair. This slatted motif is carried into the kitchen on the main level and also appears in the deck gates and exterior safety railings.
During the renovation for the home’s current owners, Bates Masi added a slatted cypress divider that separates the living/dining area from a new staircase, which leads to a lofted office.
The renovated kitchen, which incorporates red lacquered cabinetry and cypress woodwork, offers access to the rear patio. Both spaces bear a different finish of the same blue sandstone sourced from northern New York. Upstairs, a lofted office connects to the principal bedroom with a private deck that overlooks a new barrel sauna in the backyard.
The rear patio, kitchen, and main-level bathroom run together along an east-west axis. Each space bears a different finish of the same blue sandstone, which hails from northern New York.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom connects to a private patio that overlooks the backyard.
Bates’s original fenestration, which failed to meet current building code, was brought up to safety standards by employing the same slatting motif used elsewhere in the house.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property, which offers access to the nearby Barnes Landing beach, is available to rent for various seasonal terms in 2022, including January 1 through April 30 for $18,000; July 1 through July 31 for $30,o00; and August 1 through September 5 for $35,000. There is also an option to rent to Harry Bates–designed home for the entire period between July 1 and September 5 (Labor Day) for $60,000.
