Indoor and outdoor living is a luxury in this Wainscott home less than a mile from the ocean. Biophilia is spread throughout the house, from the fountains in the entryway, outdoor kitchen, and skylights to the many gardens (including several edible ones) and the infinity-edge pool with a waterfall. But there’s more: the residence also features an enclosed glass-enclosed conservatory dining room, a cantilevered terrace, and views of the garden and frog pond.
