This is a fairly generic Farrell house, of the overly-gambreled style of the mid-aughts. The only thing really interesting about it is who it belongs to, Wall Streeter, $1.2-billion-insider-trading-SEC-fine-paying and new Mets owner Steven Cohen. Cohen bought the place back in 2007 for $18 million; it’s on the tonier south […]
For Sale
Oceanfront for $2.2 million? Yes, please!
Here’s a no-brainer. $2-$3 million is often considered the sweet spot for Hamptons real estate buyers. Well, how about spending on the low end of that and also getting oceanfront into the bargain? This is a really cute midcentury (1950) bungalow snuggled into the dunes in Westhampton Beach. Of course […]
Charm and chic in central East Hampton
Shingles, check. White picket fence, check. Clipped hedges and stone walls, check. Vines by the outdoor shower? Check. Lush green lawn to an old garage, well, yes. You name it, the exterior of this adorable cottage (so close to the village) has it. The interiors, though? So chic it almost […]
Water Street Shops in Sag Harbor purchased by Bay Street Theater
The Bay Street Theater announced today that it has purchased the shops at West Water Street, near its current location, where it will construct a new building with multiple theaters, spaces for new-work development, education facilities, outdoor performance spaces, and public spaces. The space is of course right next to John […]
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), […]
Our thoughts on new Meadow Lane and relisted Windmill Lane oceanfront
Here’s a reader’s comment from yesterday’s post: Could you write about your thoughts on the Windmill Lane oceanfront in east hampton that just got listed for 72 million (trying to make a 30 million profit in three months with no renovation) ?! Or the new meadow lane that just got […]
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 […]
