New, 9 comments

Following his passing last month at the age of 86, the Southampton estate of Arthur O. Sulzberger?publisher of the The New York Times during its transition "from the era of hot lead and Linotype machines to the birth of the digital world"? has hit the market. Asking price? $13.9M.

Located down a long driveway off of Gin Lane, the three-story traditional offers the typical laundry list of high-end amenities:

"6,500 sq. ft. of living space includes 8 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, 3 fireplaces, a wood paneled library, elevator, central AC, 3-car garage, hardwood and tile flooring. The great room, living room and dining room all open out through French doors to the generous brick patios overlooking the pool..."The 2.2 acre property features "verdant copious lawns, and exquisite gardens" as well as privacy-ensuring perimeter plantings. And if the current residence doesn't quite do it for you, the brokerbabble notes that "A generous building envelope will allow for a substantial 12,000 sq ft home, pool and tennis." Better get on it, though. According to the listing, the significant estate "is priced for immediate sale." · Listing: Significant Gin Lane Estate [Sotheby's International Realty via HREO]
