Ah, it feels like spring today in the Hamptons. Sunny, pleasant temperature, and you hear the slight buzzing noise? That’s the sound of prices being chopped everywhere. Such as this property! We’ve liked it ever since it hit the market: there’s a new build with very appealing decorating, and the older house, now a guest…

The days are gone, we think, of people sniggering that west of the canal is “not really” the Hamptons. The advantages are so manifest–ridiculously shorter commute from Manhattan, lower prices, just as good amenities–that it’s no surprise that prices are inching up there, while being stagnant or dropping east of the canal. For an example,…

Southampton, Sag Harbor, and East Hampton villages are still such wonderfully walkable areas, with shopping, restaurants and the movies in easy reach–something that’s becoming more and more rare in America. And while this property is juuuuust outside East Hampton village limits, it’s an easy walk to Mary’s for a morning muffin or Cittanuova for a…

We’re a sucker for a house that comes with outbuildings, and this property has two both very chic and black. First, though, let’s go over the main house. It’s a 1920 farmhouse that was completely redone in perfect modern taste and style by Katrina Hernandez of Hernandez Greene. It’s not huge, with three bedrooms and…

In 2016, this property was flipped by designers Heiberg Cummings Design. The jewelbox is small (1500 square feet or so, with just two bedrooms), but what there is is in perfect taste.

Surfers and beach-lovers would adore the site of this property, which the listing refers to as “oceanfront” but isn’t really. Still, once they built their dream house, there would be nothing between them and the Big Blue. Asking price for the property, repped by Chris Coleman at Saunders, is just under $4 million, which is…

Well, the property sold fairly quickly, anyway: the listing came onto the market in August and now it’s contract. And why not? It’s lovely inside and out. We really like the dark exterior, which feels fresh. So do the interiors, although the house was built ten years ago, it feel bang up to date in…

This is a very interesting property on Shelter Island’s southern tip. Oak Tree Lane runs along West Neck Point, and this is basically the last house on the point, so your neighbors will mostly be fish.

We just don’t get it. What is the matter with this property that it’s been on the market so long, with so many price cuts, and no one wants it? It was originally listed in November 2013 asking $10.5 million. Now it’s five years later and the ask is $5.25 million, half what it was…

North Haven is home to some amazing properties, which come with suitably astonishing price tags. And this property, on tony Bay View Drive, is pretty nice. The most enticing thing about the listing is the 140-foot deepwater dock. Of course, the bayfront property, repped by Linda Perillo at Saunders and and Sotheby’s superagent Harald Grant, also boasts…
