Bryan Midlam of Compass has closed the sale of 3 Whale Rock Lane in East Hampton for $2,200,000. The home closed in October 2026.

Set on nearly an acre in the near Northwest, one of East Hampton's most desirable and private pockets, the AIA award-winning modern beach house pairs distinctive architecture with warm contemporary finishes. Mature, native landscaping wraps the property and gives it a true resort-like feel.

An L-shaped, one-story plan fills the three-bedroom, three-bath home with natural light through vaulted ceilings, skylights, clerestory windows and walls of glass, creating an airy, loft-like atmosphere. The expansive great room is anchored by a white brick fireplace and flows into a beautifully crafted kitchen with custom oak millwork, windowed backsplashes, Caesarstone counters and premium appliances.

Sliding glass doors open to a covered mahogany deck overlooking the heated saltwater gunite pool, with room for protected outdoor dining and a lounge area. The bedroom wing holds two spacious guest bedrooms and a serene primary suite with a spa-style bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower.

The house was built for longevity, with low-maintenance metal and stucco siding beneath a standing-seam metal roof that adds both energy efficiency and architectural character. Architecturally distinctive yet quietly understated, it captures a rare balance of contemporary design and timeless Hamptons ease.

For Midlam, it is a design-lover's close: an award-winning modern retreat tucked into the East Hampton woods.
