In 2014, Anke Beck Friedrich and Jürgen Friedrich (the founder of fashion company Espirit) purchased the home for $1.35 million. They then renovated the 1843 home and brought it into the 21st century.
Model and actress Christie Brinkley put her waterfront North Haven home up on the market in 2016 for $25 million. After just over two years, the 19th century house has found a buyer and is currently pending a sale.
Features include an open floorplan, hardwood floors, and some spaces that have already been renovated. Outside, there’s a new pool, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower.
After purchasing the house in 2006, the current owners totally renovated the kitchen, installed the hardwood floors in the dining room to match the living room, and replaced the original sliders with French doors.
The current house was built in 1949, spans 2,200 square feet in size, and has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Inside, the cottage hosts an open floorplan, a large bay window in the living room, water views throughout, and a wood-burning fireplace.
This year, in addition to movie stars and fashion designers buying and selling South Fork properties, politics also had an influence over the celebrity real estate market on the East End.
Inside the 588-square-foot cottage, there are just two bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a living room and a kitchen. This no-frills house includes an open floorplan, vaulted ceilings, and a bay window—making it a good starter home or a low maintenance East End retreat.
While the South Fork has more expensive—and typically more desirable—real estate due to its ocean proximity, it would be impossible to find 27 waterfront acres for $10 million in the Hamptons.
