This house, designed by Charles Gwathmey in the late 70s, still sports many of the built-in furnishings the master created for it. It’s snuggled in the Amagansett Dunes, about a block from the beach. The current owners purchased the place in 2014 for $4.25 million and then renovated; changing the original wooden structural columns to steel ones and swapping windows and siding to look like the originals. They also knocked down a wall to connect the kitchen and living room–something not popular in the late 70s but almost essential today. The slides below show the way the place looked before the reno:
Not much has changed. The table (which Gwathmey called “Rosalie” after his mother), chairs and even built-in sofas have been retained.
The owners also added solar panels and plan on a Tesla Powerwall system this summer. The property, which includes the five-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot house, a 40-foot saltwater pool, a sauna and an outdoor shower, is on the market for $9.3 million with Cindy Scholz and Clayton Orrigo at Compass.
