What do you get when you combine a sophisticated country estate a with a brand-new, sumptuous Hamptons house? We imagine it would look a lot like this $24,950,000 East Hampton home designed by James Michael Howard and McAlpine Tankersley Architecture. Howard, a Florida-based designer, and his wife are looking to sell the sublime home, which is currently being rented for the high season through October for $1.4 million.
While pricey homes in the Hamptons are hardly a surprise at this point, a property must be very special for prospective buyers to drop that kind of cash. Let’s talk facts: The 11,644 square foot mansion sits on just over an acre of land South of the Highway and is a mile from the beach. There are eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and one half-bath. The two-car garage has a loft above. The property is adorned with gardens, patios, and of course, a swimming pool. Other noteworthy details are the first-floor primary suite, junior primary suite on the second floor, and movie theater.
But, what makes this listing stand out most and the price especially justified is its furnishings and finishes, which will mostly be included in the sale. They exude equal parts luxury and comfort, stylishness and timelessness. It would take ages to try to source and recreate them, not to mention more money spent on a designer’s help. Rugs from Nepal, antique furnishings, custom knobs, custom-made wallcoverings, and more fill the home’s footprint.
Martha Gundersen and Paul Brennan of Douglas Elliman hold the completely turnkey listing, co-exclusively with Corcoran.
