Nobody Wants to Mow the Lawn at the Beach

BRECK AND GEORGIA EISNER are based in Los Angeles, but they have always loved visiting their friends in the Hamptons. It was during the pandemic that Georgia asked one of these friends, the designer David Netto, to keep an eye out for a place they could buy.

Nothing fancy: "We just wanted something low-key and where our kids could walk and bike," Georgia says. "The other requirement I had was not one single blade of grass to mow!" says Breck.

Netto called them back the very next day wondering if they'd be interested in a pair of cottages designed by Alfred Scheffer, known for his mid-century Cape Cods out East, which were discreet interventions within the dune landscape. Only a handful are left. The Eisners bought the 1949 property without even having visited it in person.
