Heiberg Cummings Design
unveils Osprey House - 4,500 s/f

Shelter Island, NY Heiberg Cummings Design’s new construction home, Osprey House, on Shelter Island’s Smith’s Cove, was listed in time for the summer 2024 season.

The exclusive agent representing the property, Stacey Cohen of Saunders & Associates, has worked with Heiberg Cummings Design for years. 

“Osprey House is an opus. Rooted in Hamptons luxury and elevated by boundless creativity, this home is a generational statement. It’s instantly impressive,” said Cohen.

Spanning 4,500 s/f on three fully finished levels, Osprey House showcases an open-concept layout with 10-ft. ceilings and natural light. It features five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and four fireplaces, each contributing to the atmosphere of comfort. 

Notable for its stylish and sophisticated design, the residence is completed with an assortment of high-quality materials, including antique Turkish stone sinks, painted reclaimed wood from a barn in Maine, and polished concrete, all thoughtfully integrated with classic clapboard.

The property’s exterior spaces are as designed as its interior, with a 12’x25’ gunite pool adjacent to a deep-water dock on Smith Cove, offering direct access to the bay. Landscaped gardens and hardscaping merge to form an amphitheater-like setting, providing an vantage point for views of Sag Harbor and North Haven. 

Osprey House’s crown jewel is a rooftop terrace, complete with a built-in bar, modern fireplace, and vistas. This property, in a coveted enclave with beach rights, represents a interpretation of the Hamptons’ lifestyle, marrying luxury with tranquility found at the water’s edge.

Since the project began, anticipation for the new home has been considerable, driven by the renowned design team’s vast international reach. Designers and founders of Heiberg Cummings Design Bill Cummings and Bernt Heiberg elected for a grand unveiling event befitting the home.

The unveiling event was a showcase for the Osprey House. “We believe Osprey House deserved a grand introduction, one that truly showcases the level of detail, craftsmanship, and thoughtfulness we’ve poured into every inch of this home,” said Bernt Heiberg. “The launch party for Osprey House was not just an unveiling; but a celebration of the elevated entertaining and living experience that this home offers. We’re designing this event to mirror the sophistication and exclusivity of the property itself.”

Cohen said, “the unveiling event was unbelievable and showed how Osprey House is. The headline features—unbelievable water views, next-level luxury—of course, are eye-catching. Still, anyone who has been here talks about the designer-curated details—like the retractable glass wall in the primary bath or the floating stucco staircase.”
