Big reveal: $5M for a renovated traditional in Bridgehampton

On Monday, we had readers try to guess what the listing at 28 Hildreth Avenue in Bridgehampton was on the market for. The votes were pretty split, but the home is listed for $4,995,000 under Sotheby’s International Realty agent, Sharon Stern, making about 22 percent of our readers correct.

On a half-acre of land, the totally renovated and like-new cottage spans 4,100 square feet with six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half-bathroom inside. Interiors include a Rumford wood-burning fireplace, 22-foot vaulted ceilings in the living room, a sunroom, and a wet bar in the formal dining room. There’s also a chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a first-floor master suite in its own wing, and a second-level junior master suite.

A finished lower level provides more living space, radiant heated floors, and wine storage.

Outside, new homeowners will enjoy patios, a heated gunite pool, gardens, an outdoor shower, and a fire pit.

The property last sold in 2011 for $2 million, and about a third of our readers thought that it was still asking under $3.5 million after the renovations that brought the Bridgehampton home up to date. Another third of our readers low-balled it just a bit, thinking it was somewhere between $3.5 million and $4.5 million. Just 10 of our readers guessed that it was over $5.5 million.

But as always, we want to hear from our readers: What do you think the property should be on the market for? Do you think the $5 million will entice a buyer?
