After just four months on the market, the shingled traditional beauty at 178 Further Lane has found a buyer and is currently pending an offer. Originally asking $10.9 million earlier this year in May, it was most recently listed for $7,995,000 under Saunders Real Estate agents, Ed Bruehl and William Schumann.

The Zillow price history shows that of a motivated seller: Between May and September, the price went down by nearly $3 million over several price cuts.

Sited on just over an acre of land, the 6,400-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, as well as a double-height foyer, French doors throughout, hardwood floors, an eat-in kitchen, and a fireplace in the living room. The second-level master suite offers radiant heated floors in the bathroom and double vanities, while the finished lower level hosts a rec room with a wet bar.

Outside, new owners will enjoy a gunite pool, patio, a pool house with a half-bathroom, and covered outdoor living spaces.

The Further Lane address is less than a half-mile from the ocean at Two Mile Hollow Beach, and about a mile and a half from East Hampton village shops and restaurants.
