Record executive drops $18.1 million on Great Plains Road

Veteran rap- and dance-records executive Cory Robbins, who helped break Run-DMC, will be relaxing on Great Plains Road, Southampton, in future. Number 291 is a gracious estate, set on 1.8 acres, with a classically elegant 12,000-square-foot house. Listed by Bespoke, the property sold five years ago for $16.125 million; since then it’s had a tennis court added and the interiors have been refreshed. For example, the very dark wood in the library is now much lighter and fresher; as is the home theater.

Listed again this year by Bespoke, the property was asking $21.5 million; it closed about a month ago for $18.1 million, $2 million over the 2015 ask.

The latest changes are very nice–basically the house was perfect as it was and at this level it’s just gilding the lily. Personally we’d prefer the rolling open lawn that used to be there before it turned into tennis, but hey, we’re not the buyer. The kitchen is virtually the same as before. In all, there are nine bedrooms, eleven full and three half baths; a very cute pool house; and the rather sought-after third story that couldn’t be built today. Just a wonderful property all through. Congrats to Mr. Robbins and congrats to Bespoke for selling it once again.
