Sited just steps from the bay in the Culloden Point neighborhood of Montauk, the recently renovated home at 10 Tern Drive has found a buyer and gone into contract after just four months up for sale.

In June, the house listed with Corcoran Group’s real estate agent, Joan Hegner, for $1.45 million, but after two months the price went down to the most recent asking price of $1,375,000. The final sales price hasn’t yet been revealed.

Originally built in 1984, the upside-down beach house stands 1,800 square feet with four bedrooms and two full bathrooms on a quarter-acre of land. Inside, there are beamed cathedral ceilings in the living room, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, walls of windows, hardwood floors, and sliding glass doors that lead to a wraparound deck outside.

The home is practically right across the street from a bay beach off Soundview Drive, and just under a mile from Gosman’s restaurant. It’s located about 3 miles north of the ocean at Ditch Plains Beach.
