The adorable East Hampton home owned by Jemima Kirke’s family is now on the market, at a discount.
Kirke’s mother, interior designer Lorraine (she also owned Geminola, an erstwhile West Village boutique), bought the four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom retreat in May 2007 for $2.25 million.

It was also offered as an $85,000 rental in February. They seem more determined to say farewell to the place now, though, what with its new price cut.
