The space is of course right next to John […]

Bid on a gorgeous designer Christmas tree (one by Martha!), all in a good cause
Get on out of the house and get started with the holiday season by heading over to the Carriage House at the Southampton History Museum! Friday, November 27, and Saturday, November 28, the museum is holding a silent auction of tabletop Christmas trees created by well-known designers, including our own […]
Gorgeous, historic, and remodeled in Amagansett–perfect!
We’ve been crazy about the facade of this house for years. (We’d call it Shingle Style, we guess.) That curving balcony, the swooping roof over the porch? Perfection. So when we saw the place was listed for sale a few weeks ago (by Kieran Brew and Jennifer Brew of Saunders), […]
In the record 2020 real estate market, a new high price for the year
That was fast! This large property, consisting of 12 and 15 West Dune Lane, East Hampton, was listed in mid-August for $75 million. It was reportedly in contract by mid-September, and it closed October 1. 15 West Dune Lane sold to a Mr. 15 West Dune LLC for $61 million; […]
Hamptons home prices: feeeling hot, hot, hot!
The last quarter results from the four agencies who compile data are all in, and the broad results are as follows. Each report tends to focus on slightly different parts of the market, so results tend to be slightly different from one another. Basically: everyone wants to be in the […]

The not-so-secret, not-at-all-shameful gorgeous house of author Neal Gabler
Back in May 2016, author Neal Gabler made headlines for a while with a piece in The Atlantic called “The Secret Shame of Middle Class Americans,” in which he bravely outed himself as someone who is always in a precarious financial position as a freelance writer. He was very frank […]
Stylish, spacious and well priced in East Hampton
There’s basically nothing not to love about this spacious, chic property. The property itself is 1.5 acres, but it looks out onto a 14-acre pasture, so there are broad vistas to enjoy. The house itself looks like an old East Hampton barn, with its shingled exterior and beamed interior. Walls […]
Amazing Captain’s Row house now 58 percent down from highest ask
We’ve seen this happen before: a house is priced very ambitiously at the beginning, no one buys, and then the price is gradually cut and chopped away, eventually hitting a reasonable level, but somehow the place seems like a laggard on the market and still doesn’t sell. Eventually the price […]
Kim Cattrall lists her surprisingly down-to-earth Springs home
We’re not going to make a lot of Sex and the City jokes in this post, partially because we never watched the show (not that that’s stopped us before), but because as far as we’re concerned, Kim Cattrall is Valeris, the Vulcan vixen, from Star Trek VI. Period. She has […]
