Financial DistrictThe interior designer Robert Stilin relishes
a good project, and one of his favorites has
been his own house — a 5,000-square-foot,
L-shaped residence in East Hampton, N.Y.,
that he helped design and outfitted in rustic
modern décor. He proudly showcases the
property in a recent book on interiors.
“It has a depth and warmth to it,” said Mr.
Stilin, who raised his son, Dylan, there as a
single father and frequently entertained cli-
ents and friends. “This house I layered with
18 years of life experience and travel. I took
the past and mixed it with the present.”
Building materials were carefully cho-
sen. The wainscoting inside is maple and
the shiplap walls poplar, while ash used for
the ceilings and floors came from the Stilin
family’s lumber company in Mellen, Wis.
The layout, too, was planned so that most
rooms look out on the secluded backyard.
So why, then, is he looking to sell? He’s
ready for another Hamptons project, he
said, and the chance “to do something that
sounds fun, compelling and interesting.
This is what I do for a living and it’s fun to
create a new place.”
Of course, a strong real estate market in
the Hamptons also contributed to his deci-
sion. The median sales price for the third
quarter, at $1.2 million, was a 40 percent in-
crease from the same time last year and
was a record high for the 15 years that
Douglas Elliman has been tracking sales.
The house, on 0.87 of an acre at 331 Geor-
gica Road, just off the Montauk Highway on
Eastern Long Island, is being listed for $6
million, said Dana Trotter of Sotheby’s
International Realty, who is marketing it.
Annual property taxes are $24,700.
The two-story structure, with five bed-
rooms and five and a half bathrooms, was
designed by the noted Hamptons architect
Frank Greenwald and completed in 2003. It
is essentially two connected buildings total-
ing 5,030 square feet. The main, wood-
shingled part contains most of the commu-
nal space and bedrooms. A smaller wing,
which Mr. Stilin calls “the barn,” has guest
quarters, a media room/bedroom, as well
as a separate entry and patios; its exterior
has board-and-batten siding and is topped
by a standing-seam metal roof.
“I’m a very private person but I’m also
very social,” Mr. Stilin said, noting that the
home’s layout managed to accommodate
both the need to entertain and for quiet
time. “All the different sleeping spaces are
their own destination for privacy.”
The house is entered through a courtyard
with a fountain of bluestone, stucco and
brass, one of two on the property. The main
door opens to a mudroom/foyer, with a hall-
way leading into the kitchen, dining area
and a powder room. The kitchen includes a
large pantry and is equipped with Carrara
marble counters, a butcher block island and
espresso-brown wood cabinets. The roomy
dining area has built-in bookcases.French doors open to the living room,
which is anchored with a wood-burning fire-
place, and beyond that space, a guest bed-
room with an en-suite bathroom. All three
rooms connect to the backyard’s expansive
bluestone patio, which has an outdoor fire-place and a fountain overlooking a 12-by-36-
foot pool. Throughout the property are ma-
ture trees and plantings, and there is also an
attached garage.
Upstairs is a library with another wood-
burning fireplace, an office and two spa-
cious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath
and plenty of closet space.
The “barn” wing has a media room/bed-
room with a full bathroom and two patios on
the lower level, and upstairs is a bedroom,
sitting room and another full bathroom.
Mr. Stilin has been designing residential
interiors around the country for the past
three decades, though he is probably best
known for his laid-back Hamptons aes-
thetic. The rooms in his house — with a mix
of vintage and contemporary furnishings,
including some he designed, and various
photographs — are among 15 projects fea-
tured in his 2019 monograph, “Robert Stilin:
Interiors.”
One of his favorite rooms in the house, be-
sides his own bedroom, he said, is the living
room. “I love sitting by the fireplace and
having a glass of wine and listening to mu-
sic and chilling out,” he said.Most of his time, though, is spent in Man-
hattan these days, where he has a SoHo
apartment, now his main residence, as well
as offices and a showroom. (He closed his
East Hampton shop last year.)
But he’s not saying goodbye to the Hamp-
tons. He plans to eventually build another
home there. “I’m not leaving the Hamp-
tons,” Mr. Stilin said. “It’s been a huge part
of my life.”After nearly 20 years, the
interior designer Robert Stilin
is selling a showcase property.
