Artist’s East Hampton retreat relists for less, asking $1.895M

Curbed readers may remember a colorful East Hampton house that has been on and off the market over the last year and a half. Artist Ernst Lurker—the founder of the PlayArt movement—has just relisted his 1984 contemporary with a smaller price tag.

The house is now on the market for $1,895,000 under Saunders Real Estate agents, Diane Saatchi and Elaine Stimmel.

Lurker purchased the property in 1996 for $475,000.

It looks like the house has a more subdued color scheme now. Old listing photos show pops of color throughout the interiors and exteriors of the house, but it looks like it has a more neutral shade of white.

Inside the 3,580-square-foot house, there are four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms on nearly 2 acres of land. Features include an open floorplan, a double-height living room, hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a master suite that takes up the entire second level, offering a large walk-in closet and bathroom. Outside, there’s a large deck, a heated pool, and a detached two-car garage.

What do you think of the house now that it’s on the market for less? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
