Sitting on the banks of Lake Montauk, this home can't be accused of not making the most of this prime position. The main living space faces the water and has huge windows from which to admire the peaceful panorama. If you want to feel the fresh air on your face as you gaze out, there's also a terrace complete with seating and a barbecue grill. Add to that a lakeside lawn with children's play equipment, and there's no shortage of spots from which to make the most of the scenic location. Back inside, the style is certainly contemporary, thanks to the stark white walls, wooden floors and sleek kitchen complete with chic breakfast bar seating. By contrast, the wood-burning fireplace is a charmingly rustic touch. In the local area, there's way more than the body of water opposite. Ditch Plains Beach takes four minutes to reach in the car, while Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum on the far end of Long Island is a nine-minute drive away.
