9 Margarets Drive, Shelter Island, NY 11964

AIA AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTURE | WHERE LIGHT, LANDSCAPE & DESIGN

Originally conceived as the Laguna Project, 9 Margarets Drive is an AIA Award-winning residence where architecture, landscape, and natural light exist in harmony. Encompassing approximately 5,530 square feet, including a substantial finished lower level, the home offers four en-suite bedrooms, five full baths, and one half bath, thoughtfully composed to create a seamless connection between indoors and out. A soaring, light-filled great room unfolds beneath dramatic vaulted ceilings, where expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. A striking two-sided fireplace anchors the living areas, creating a natural dialogue between the home's architecture and its surrounding landscape. At the heart of the residence, a chef's kitchen with top-tier appliances seamlessly integrates with the living and dining spaces, inviting both intimate everyday living and effortless entertaining. Custom white oak millwork and refined finishes reflect the disciplined architectural vision of James Merrell, developed in collaboration with Sean Murphy, resulting in interiors that are both understated and enduring. Every bedroom suite opens directly to the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the home's relationship with nature and allowing the outdoors to become an integral part of everyday living. Beyond the walls of glass, a 50' x 17' heated saltwater gunite pool anchors a private outdoor retreat framed by expansive terraces, multiple lounge and dining areas, a beautifully appointed pool house with a full bath, an outdoor shower, and mature landscaping that creates exceptional privacy while preserving an unmistakable sense of openness. Every element has been thoughtfully composed to evoke the quiet ease of a refined private resort. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street just moments from Shelter Island's beaches, marinas, and acclaimed restaurants, 9 Margarets Drive offers a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant residence where timeless design, natural beauty, and effortless indoor-outdoor living exist in complete harmony.
