Sagaponack’s Halseycot Sold

Built in 1894 by Stephen Bolles Halsey and his wife, Adelia VanWyck Vandervoort, as a summer residence, 76 Daniels Lane in Sagaponack is rich in history. The last asking price was $7.95 million and it was represented by Paul Brennan and Martha Gundersen of Douglas Elliman. The seaside escape from the Halsey’s primary home in Astoria, Halseycot is one of the few still-standing examples of the village’s deep roots and transformation from potato fields and farms to one of America’s most expensive ZIP codes. Additionally, the Halsey homestead is one of the significant residences of a family with links dating back to a handful of New York founding fathers.  

Stephen Bolles Halsey was descended from Thomas Halsey, who helped to settle Southampton, and Josiah Stanborough, the first settler in Sagaponack. Mr. Halsey’s father, Stephen Alling Halsey, is reputed to be the founder of Astoria, which he named after his friend, John Jacob Aster. 

Only half a mile to Gibson’s Beach, until recently the mostly untouched homestead, which withstood the great Hurricane of ’38, had ocean views from every single room except the upstairs bath. The residence and its “twin sister,” the Topping House at 791 Main Street, are often referred to as the last original houses left standing in Sagaponack. The 2,346-foot classic shingle-style home features a wrap-around porch, six bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a fireplace and is sited on 1.4 acres. Bordering a 16-acre reserve, the property also comes with mature trees, an antique circa-1900 barn and two separate one-story outbuildings.  [Douglas Elliman]

Jackie Goldschneider’s Westhampton House Could Be Your East End Rental For $50k

As revealed on a recent episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, writer and star Jackie Goldschneider rents out her oceanfront Westhampton house in the summer. It doesn’t look like the house is currently available to rent (even though Out East’s listing shows that it’s available for a short-term lease, asking $22,000). But we’re guessing that it might go on the rental market closer to the summer for the estimated $50,000 per month that Bravo claims that she lists it for. Zillow estimates that the property is worth just under $3 million, and Goldschneider purchased the house in 2012 for $2,525,000. Spanning a comfortable 2,200 square feet in size, there are four bedrooms, three and a half baths, oceanside balconies off the two first-floor master suites, and a fireplace in the living room. Outside, there’s a heated pool and a private walkway down to the ocean. [Bravo, Out East, Zillow]

Stunning Water Mill Home Last Asking $12.4M Goes Into Contract

The newly-built barn-style home at 97 Wild Goose Lane in Water Mill came on the market at the end of 2019 for $12.4 million. After less than two weeks available for sale, the property has found a buyer and is currently in contract to sell. Spanning a massive 11,300 square feet in size (including the finished lower level), the house is host to nine bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, smart home technology, two-story glass walls, and a master suite with a private office. It doesn’t look like the house is even finished being built yet, as the Sotheby’s listing claims, “Purchase now and you can customize finishes.” Outside, there’s a pool, tennis court, and a pool house. The 1.5-acre property was purchased in September 2018 for $4 million. Located south of the highway, residents will be about 3 miles from the ocean at Ocean Road Beach. Frank Bodenchak represents the listing. [Sotheby’s]
