The renovated 1893 Southampton Village home at 16 Foster Crossing, designed by noted 19th century architect James L’Hommedieu, officially changed hands when it sold on Friday, October 30.
No word yet on who the new buyers are, but they spent $18.125 million when the home went into contract after just two months on the market with Douglas Elliman’s Michaela Keszler. The last asking price was $18.95 million.
The 10-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bath, three-story house is located at South Main Street, less than a mile to the beach and the village business district. The 7,436-square-foot home features seven fireplaces, front and back stairs, and an impressive porch that stretches 72 feet across the west facade of the house and wraps around the pool. Even the entry has a fireplace. A guest wing with two bedrooms, one with its own porch, is located above the kitchen and connected to the rest of the second floor.
Situated on about one acre with lush flower gardens and century old trees, the property’s landscaping was done by Doyle Herman Design. There is also a heated gunite pool, three-car garage and a sports court round.
