The kitchen needs a full gut and the dated tile floors could be swapped out for some hardwood. But it has a great, wide open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows that will look great again once the space is updated.
When it first listed, we were drawn in by the warmth of the house: the hardwood floors, the natural light, the French doors found throughout the space.
Osato was the first American dancer to join the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo. Both of her sons hosted their weddings at the four-acre Bridgehampton house.
The home first went up for sale at $22 million in August of 2016, but came off the market and then relisted for $19.5 million a year later. Now, the home received a slight increase in price upon relisting with Bespoke.
It’s also a rare opportunity for the buyers, as it can uniquely afford the building of a tennis court—which is rare for oceanfront properties in the area.
Period details throughout the home include wide-plank hardwood floors that came from a ship, the original front door, and the front door’s stained glass insert.
A spacious kitchen with white countertops has an interesting backsplash that extends throughout the space, as well as a large center island with seating.
The 0.38-acre north-of-the-highway property borders a nature reserve—which is perfect for those looking for a bit of privacy—and has an attached garage.
One thing we noticed is that all the bathrooms in this estate are particularly interesting. We love the nook bathtubs, dual vanities, and interesting mirrors.
It still hasn’t been officially built yet, and the listing states that it’s a "proposed modernist design/build," but the future home will have seven bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms in 14,000 square feet of living space.
The four cottages were originally built in 1927, and their recent renovation aimed to bring the history of the homes and the local area to the forefront of the design.
The sale includes a 1.44-acre residential lot with permits already set in place so the new owner can build. The residential lot can accommodate a 10,000-square-foot manse, pool, and tennis.
This is the second home that Frankel now owns on the East End, after having purchased a different Bridgehampton home on Lumber Lane just a few years ago.
Last year it was asking $8.75 million. The home just relisted under Corcoran Group Real Estate agents Pam Jackson and Tim Davis for a bit less than it was asking before, now priced at $7.9 million.
A contract was signed on the 0.6-acre property earlier this month and it is currently pending a sale. Once the sale goes through, this will be the second time the home has sold in two years.
