Real Estate

This is a really interesting, complex property (with three addresses!) with an equally interesting history. Now, it is a strangely shaped 12-acre site divided into 7 separate parcels. On one of the highest elevations in Southampton, the property boasts beautiful water views and is itself bayfront. There’s a 3-story house, which, according to the listing,…

This sweet 1880 cottage, in Southampton Village on the south side of Hill Street, is simply delightful. From the hedged entrance with gate, to the copper beech tree, to the brick terrace, vegetable gardens and picket fences, it’s all sweet outside. Hidden out back, though, is the property’s best feature: a completely separate, legal guest…

This property has had a long history on and off the market. First the good part: it’s 1.9 acres right on the ocean and there’s already an oceanfront pool grandfathered in, so that’s good. Bad part: the house itself is very dated. Think we’re joking? Check it out:   Yeah. As the listing delicately notes,…

This rather attractive oceanfront property, on Old Montauk Highway, was originally listed last summer asking $21 million. A number of properties on the same road were listed about the same time, at about the same price, including Bernie Madoff’s old estate at 216 OMH. Some have sold, some haven’t. The owner of this place is…

Choreographer, director, dancer, and producer Jerome Robbins–perhaps best known for West Side Story–loved his humble Bridgehampton hideaway. He died in 1998, leaving this property to the Jerome Robbins Foundation, which is now selling it. (He loved the place so much his ashes were scattered on the beach/ocean in front of the property.) Proceeds from the…

While the North Fork doesn’t usually command the kind of blockbuster prices the South Fork does, a top ten list of properties available there is interesting. Many of the highest priced listings have quite a bit of land attached to them, preserving Nofo’s unspoiled agricultural feel. In this list, you’ll see several farms and vineyards,…

At issue in any divorce is the real estate owned by the couple, and the Giulianis’ north-of-the-highway Water Mill place, which we suggest is worth about $3.5 million, is a big issue.

This cottage, which has been in the same family for over 50 years, was originally purchased with a still in the basement. (Don’t you wish it was still there?) A hundred years after the Volstead Act was passed, we figure those owners would laugh about all the local, legal winemaking, beer-brewing, and even distilling going…

We have extremely reliable intel that this property, 161 Marine Boulevard in Amagansett, which is an empty 0.56 lot on the ocean, is in the process of being purchased by talk show host, producer, and new dad Andy Cohen. The listing is repped by Cindy Shea at Sotheby’s, and we’ve been told that Sarah Jessica…

We keep hearing whispers that the overheated Sag Harbor market is cooling–but it doesn’t seem so at least when it comes to the lower end, anyway. These three properties clicked into contract in record time. Remember the Million-Dollar Teardown? We hope so, since we posted about it on March 5. It’s in contract after less…
