The Koi of Leroy
Leroy Estate, Amagansett
4 South Wood Court amagansett hamptons real estate for sale
Can someone tell me why the 14 acre Leroy estate hasn't sold? Seems like a unique, incomparable non-waterfront setting with all of the amenities. IS it the subdivision for the rest of the land? Listing with Sothebys for $9.25 million. Been on the market at one price or another since '04.

Mediterranean at 196 Wyandanch Lane
Southampton Estate Section
wyandanch lane southampton estate section hamptons real estate for sale
You want to be in the estate section, on a pond, near the ocean, and need room for 9 cars but not tennis. Maybe you are European and want a villa and not a traditional farm house? This is a beauty.


Closer Look

Almost 9,000 sq. ft., 6 bed, 7.5 bath, big big garage, Gunite Pool and Spa. Private. Specimen trees, etc. on 2 acres. Gary Depersia has the Listing with Corcoran for $13.95 million. On the market since September. This is the kind of place that maybe someone is specifically looking for and that's why the price may hold into the selling season.

In the Palma of your Hand in EHV
Palma Terrace - East Hampton Village
palma terrace east hampton village real estae for sale home renovation
This once unfashionable, regular guy street between Cedar and Newtown Lane is representative of the escalating value of East Hampton Village Homes.


31 Palma Terrace
palma terrace east hampton village real estae for sale home renovation
Remember my review of 31 Palma Terrace? Ultimate glass-encased modern, 5 bed 5.5 bath, 4,600 sq. ft. including the finished basement on .38 acres. the most high end of finshes (excluding some elements in the basement). Gorgeous. Very cool house. See October 29th entry. Still on the market for $3.4m. And still the hands down winner on this street.


33 Palma Terrace
palma terrace east hampton village real estae for sale home renovation
Check out the next door neighbors. 5 bed, 3.5 bath, 3,300 sq. ft. traditional built in 1960 on .38 acres with gunite pool. Asking $2.795m. Listing with Prudential since October.


7 Palma Terrace
palma terrace east hampton village real estae for sale home renovation
This is a 2200 sq. ft. traditional with 4 beds, 3 baths and a fireplace buolt in 1950 on .37 acres for $1.295. Seems like you'd come out ahead with a total re-do than by buying 33 Palma. Listing with Corcoran.


46 Palma Terrace
palma terrace east hampton village real estae for sale home renovation
And this farm-style home was built in 2005 seemingly on spec. It's 2500 sq. ft. 4 bed, 4 bath, a fireplace, viking stove and sub-zero fridge on .35 acres with heated gunite pool. Seems like the pick of the litter at $1.9 million although sits on the corner of Cedar (a very busy street) and Palma. Put it in the middle of the block and it's likely to fare favorably to 33 Palma even up.


Conclusion
However you slice it, this neighborhood and EHV continues to turn over towards the higher end. If 33 can sell near asking, you'd have to consider 7 an excellent buy.

Foxy Farmhouse, Southampton Village
71 Fox Hollow Lane, Southampton
fox hill lane southampton village real estate for sale
For the less fashionable neighborhoods in Southampton village between County Rd. 39 and Hill St., take a look at what's going on in East Hampton Village and feel good about your respective value. At $1.85m, this is better than anything you can find in the north-of-the-highway neighborhoods around Cedar St. in EHV.


The Porch
fox hill lane southampton village real estate for sale
Stats: 2200 sq. ft. farmhouse with 3 beds, 2.5 baths, on .5 acres with heated pool, detached garage/guest house, private, landscaped, lovely. Listing with, who else, Corcoran. And listen to this, down from $3.495 million just this past May! Ha ha. You think the agenct thought they could sell at that price when signing up the client?

Bonkers in Bridgehampton
280 Highland Terrace, Bridgehampton
highland terrace bridgehampton over priced hamptons home for sale
Ok, so I've been reluctant to throw that dud out there for a multitude of reasons, but here is one that just seems inconceivably overpriced. It's got some nice views in sitting between farm fields and the Bridgehampton golf course, but at $9.5 million, you can do better for yourself than this 1997 house on 2.2 acres closer to 27 than the ocean.Listing with Sothebys since last May.

Victorian Bridgehamptonian
112 Sagaponack Rd., Bridgehampton
rose hill rd. hamptons plantation house for sale
Listed at around $3 million for the past year and a half, the market has decided that this property is not a deal. But at what price will or should it go? It's an enviable, authentic, country Victorian. Renovated with 4 beds, 2 baths, wraparound porch, central air, gunite pool and sits on a reserve south-of-thehighway. My guess is that Sagaponack rd. is a bit of a thorough fare as one of two connectors between Ocean and Sagg Main roads. Put this on a on a little side street nearby and $3 is probably attainable. Oops, upon 2nd look, looks like the owners will wait until the market heats up a little more. Now available for rent only. $75k for the season. Check out the Listing with Corcoran.

Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn how much it costs.
200 Rose Hill Rd., Water Mill
rose hill rd. hamptons plantation house for sale
Not many of you are looking for that full, formally furnished south-of-the- highway plantation house with pool and tennis. But for those who are, here it is. Indian slaves not included.


A nice spot for sipping mint juleps
rose hill rd. hamptons plantation house for sale
The house is 5,500 sq. ft., 6 bed, 7.5 bath, with gunite pool and tennis court on 2.3 acres adjacent to a reserve.


Thanks for the furniture Queen Anne!
rose hill rd. hamptons plantation house for sale
Furniture and fixtures included. So if this is your bag, head on over to Donna Oplinger at Corcoran who has the Listing for $5.95 million. A deal? I have no idea, but it's a nice house on a nice street in a nice setting and definitely unique for this neck of the woods.
