A brick path lined with low box hedges leads to the front door of this 18th-century cottage. It may look simple from the outside, but the inside is true East Hampton. No, not the new Hampton of lavish marble and four-car garages, but the old elegance of blue-and-white nautical patterns and an open, breezy layout. Take a peek into this summer escape designed by Tom Scheerer who gleaned inspiration from summers spent at the home of a childhood friend's grandparents.
