Looking past the seven bedrooms, this Brown Harris Stevens listing on Lee Avenue in East Hampton seems to be an antidote to the McMansion trend currently occurring in the ‘Gauche-ing over’ of the East End, making a seemingly cozy use of its 6,000 square feet.
And the porch (while looking a bit mis-matched) is apparently the design of a legendary American architect. Read More

According to its Brown Harris Stevens listing, this $5 million, four-bedroom, 3,200-square-foot classic was built in New Jersey in 1954, and moved to Sagaponack because… wait for it… it kept flooding in its original location.
CORRECTION: Due to an error in our reading of the listing’s text, we mistakenly understood the house to have already been transplanted to Sagaponack. In fact, the home remains in New Jersey and the listing price is for the land that comprises the proposed new site and the home itself. Read More
According to the listing maintained (quite proprietorially, it seems) by Corcoran SVP Elaine Stimmel, this Georgica Road six-bedroom, 6.5-bath has been put on the market by “a successful duo in the world of interior design.”
And while the photos clearly show a home that is a “feast for the eyes,” indeed, The Observer has to wonder if this listing isn’t also a bit of an HGTV-style decorating challenge for any potential buyer. A challenge which would cost that new owner $5 million for the privilege (we’ll round up $5K on the asking price to make it a cool $5 million). Read More
This is the anti-country home. Its ultra-modern design and white everything stand in stark contrast to the more traditional Hamptons beach houses, but beware: it’s a bit harsh.
Still, if you’re into that sterilized hospital vibe, this East Hampton home might be a good fit. And, to be fair, you don’t have to go the route of whoever designed this contemporary home (which looks like some of the new Manhattan luxury condos, only much bigger). You can always opt for furniture and decor that have some color.
The 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom house has a pool, a pool house, a “top-of-the-line kitchen” and is near the Georgica beaches. It’s priced at $3.55 million. Read More
This is a McMansion will make you the envy of your suburban friends. There’s enough here to occupy so much of your time that you will rarely have to venture into Southampton Village to find entertainment. There’s plenty of space for you to host some parties, and there’s more porch space than you could possibly use, so you can have your pick of spot to drink lemonade and relax with a book. Read More
This Sagaponack estate has all the essentials for any country home—a wraparound porch, a sunroom, a library and “story book gardens.” Sounds like a place fit for Cinderella (after her prince rescued her from her evil stepmother, of course!). And we’re sure Belle would enjoy the stocked library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. And there’s even a spacious second-floor balcony overlooking the backyard and deck. Talk about a fairy tale Hamptons home! Now if we could only find a fairy godmother to help us pay for it… Read More
This Quogue property looks like a $2.9 million cabin. If you want a rustic escape from all the shiny steel and glass of the city, this place might be perfect for you. It has wood walls, ceilings and floors, a stone fireplace and a stone floor in the kitchen. There’s no need to go trudging through upstate New York on a camping trip when you can find such country charm in the Hamptons!
The bayfront house has four bedrooms and is 5,800 square feet. It sits on 1.3 acres of land (plenty of room for the kids to run around!) and has a pool. Read More
Looking for an escape from the city? Or a hideout perhaps? You can “wander for hours in total privacy amid the dunescape and bush” of this residence, which is set on hundreds of acres of “never-to-be-developed” land. Sounds too good to be true. Not only does this house have plenty of private land, it also has private beach access. It’s “the biggest backyard in all the Hamptons!”
The house has five bedrooms, is 6,000 square feet, and is set on a one-acre lot in Amagansett. It has a media room, a library, an office and “outdoor living space to die for.” The pool is set on a deck and has a hot tub adjacent to it. All of this can be yours for just $11.5 million. Read More
The listing for this North Sea home says it has “every amenity,” but it doesn’t mention what we think is the most important (and impressive) one—it has what looks like a hidden door made out of a bookshelf. If you want to fulfill your Masterpiece Mystery fantasies, the room that lies beyond the disguised doorway would be the perfect place to store a collection of ill-gotten gold. So you can pay for your $4.3 million home, of course.
The house has seven bedrooms and is a whopping 8,300 square feet. It also has a pool, a tennis court and five fireplaces. Get familiar with the surrounding woods and they’ll provide the perfect place to evade capture by your rivals. Read More
