I like this one a lot more than the other shingle-style homes we have seen from the Hamptons. Interior isn’t entirely off-white like they all seem to be, and it looks like they kept it as original as possible.
This is fantastic. I wasn’t sure about the facade at first but I think I’m warming to it. The rear elevation is absolutely wonderful though. My biggest gripe (and it is minor) is the green shutters, that’s about it.
The grounds are BEAUTIFUL, this is the perfect look for a property like this…a simple, tree-lined gravel driveway with an elegant flower-filled circle at the end, and the house lined up right in front of you.
Inside looks like the perfect blend of renovated spaces and original personality and feel. I love a 100-year-old home that subsequent owners have not decided to cover up completely with improvements. There’s a lot of land, a great carriage/guesthouse (which I’d have liked to see pictures of) and tons of character. Once again though, why no pictures of the kitchen? The photography is great, so why leave that room out? Can’t speak of the price with any authority, but it doesn’t seem too out of question, considering the land and how big the house is? Long Island experts what do you think?
This is just wonderful all around.
I take my comment about the price back, I think I misread it the first time…almost $25 million sounds a bit high.
Oh, and the mansion of today (the 36 million one) is a joke. What an insane asking price that is…
Sorry for another post (can’t edit my posts);
funny thing: the house on the lower left of photo #1 has more garage space than ours, that house is probably as big as ours and it’s called the carriage house…
LOL or
