For Sybil and David Yurman, it was the trees that sold them on a house in Amagansett, N.Y., a hamlet in the Hamptons.

A stately red Japanese maple greets visitors at the front door. The property, which is part of a large beech tree forest, was “wild and lush,” said Ms. Yurman, who, together with her husband, owns his namesake jewelry company. “Sybil and David Yurman: Artists and Jewelers,” a book about their collaborative marriage, was recently published by Phaidon.

The house, modernist with a Tennessee stacked stone facade, was designed by the architect Eugene L. Futterman and once belonged to the businessman Warner LeRoy.

The Yurmans bought the six-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot house in 2008, and have renovated it over the years. In 2021, they knocked down the wall between the kitchen and living room to create a more open space; last year, they renovated the primary bedroom.
