The essence of luxury living in Southampton

Westerly is one of the largest and most celebrated estates on the eastern end of Long Island. Ideally situated in the estate section of Southampton, this equisite estate represents the essence of luxury living for the most discerning. Built in 1929 and designed by the firm Hiss & Weekes, this exquisite 25 room mansion sits on 13.6 acres of vast meadows, formal gardens and specimen trees set behind privacy gates and hedges. Constructed of red antique brick and slate roof, the estate is a classic tale of lavish living inside and out. Beautiful brick terraces, pool pavilion and tennis court cater to privileged summers by the ocean, while grand interior spaces with restored original details and fireplaces are ideal for the most extravagant entertaining.

Celebrated for its lasting glory, Westerly is one of Southampton’s most prized estates. A white picket gate marks the entrance of the beautiful tree lined drive that leads to the elaborate front entry of the stately home.

Historically, Westerly's enormous ballroom provided the staging area for legendary social events of elite members of Southampton and Palm Beach society.  

The magnificent home has been meticulously maintained and has experienced minimal changes to its original floor plan. The U-shaped plan runs east to west for approximately 180 feet and features three separate wings. Westerly, with its symmetrical façade, unfolds as you enter through the dramatic two-story entry foyer with black and white marble tile beneath a sweeping iron-railed staircase. From the grand entry hall, the formal dining room and library are accessed. The library features Swedish knotty pine panels and an exquisite marble mantelpiece. The formal dining room contains a fireplace and French doors opening to the grand flagstone terrace. The main floor also features a large living room/grand ballroom with fireplace and adjoining sun porch.
