Over the course of the nearly two decades that Glenn Ban has lived in the Hamptons, he’s moved five times—yet his homes all feel of a piece. Today we're taking a tour of his latest, a 1880 three-bedroom colonial; let's see how he turned the rental into a casual but refined home.

“I like living with different styles—Primitive, English, Danish, Arts & Crafts," Glenn says.

An old urn sits atop an old hollowed out piece of wood that Glenn found during a summer on Cape Cod.

The grandfather clock came with the house. “I don’t think I would buy one, but I like how it adds history to the home.”

“Why buy new when there are so many beautiful things already available?”

“Art is very important to me. I have large photography collection, and I love collecting vintage paintings, usually abstract, but I also love a good still life or landscape,” says Glenn.
