Ruxton Road At Cove Hollow Farm

EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK

Remember the Eighties? The Miracle on Ice, the ‘86 Mets, the Vertical Club. Michael Jackson Moonwalked, Cyndi Lauper just wanted to have fun and Madonna was just like a...well you know. CNN ushered in news on demand, MTV gave us music 24/7 and we all wished we were cool enough to get onto Studio 54. The Exxon Valdez coated the Alaskan shoreline, Chernobyl fouled the Russian skies and the Iran-Contra’s had an affair. Yuppies drove their Beemers, kids played Nintendo and IBM and their PC would soon changes us forever. We did some Dirty Dancing, had some Risky Business and didn’t have a clue that when the Terminator said he’d be back that it would be as the Governator. And in the middle of that seminal decade, a sprawling traditional was completed on a gorgeous 2.6 acre lot within Georgica’s bucolic Cove Hollow Farm, enhanced further by acres of scenic easement. Decades later that same residence, variously expanded to 8 bedrooms over 8000 SF with heated Gunite pool and a sea of lawn awaits a new owner to ponder the possibilities. Ripe for renovation? Sure. But with the potential for a new, significant house, pool, pool house and tennis court, an enterprising new owner might create an extraordinary estate for this gorgeous parcel awash in Georgica Pond breezes. And just as the eighties didn’t last forever, neither will this property. Create your own Field of Dreams...contact me today. Exclusive $9.8M WEB# 15699

Dreams Of Oceanside Living In East Hampton

EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK

You’ve always dreamt about that charming oceanside cottage, awash in sea breezes, you’d buy in East Hampton just a few hundred yards to Main Beach where lifeguards and facilities abound. Hopefully the house would have been designed by a noted architect like the late Francis Fleetwood. Of course, you’d want at least 5 bedrooms so that you could invite all your friends for the weekend. Wouldn’t it be nice too if it had a convenient first floor master? Certainly you imagine the languorous lunches and intimate moonlit dinners you’ll enjoy, all prepared in the kitchen overlooking the manicured grounds with ample lawn, specimen trees and colorful gardens. And naturally you’d expect a freeform, heated Gunite pool serviced by its own pool house with kitchen and napping room. Didn’t your wish list include a garage to store your two cars and all your beach stuff in too? Well... I just happen to have one if you’re still in the market. Better hurry though as the price was just reduced to an eye catching number and besides, there aren’t many 4,500 SF+/- , 5 bedroom, 6 bath houses on an acre just off Ocean Avenue in East Hampton hanging around at the moment.
