Fall

It’s also a great time of year to visit some open houses and do a little home shopping in between fall activities. Our Marketwatch report (page 46) describes a return to what is now considered by many a more normal market on the East End, with listings trending up and price adjustments becoming more commonplace.

Close to ocean beaches and the Maidstone Club, this stunning home combines a luxury lifestyle with high tech innovation and modern design.

A RETURN TO NORMAL

T he million-dollar uestion on e eryone’s mind these days about Hamptons real estate where are we headed Are we looking at the onset of a downturn

No reports Judi Desiderio, CE of Town & Country Real Estate . Where we are right now is stalled. Ms. esiderio continues her analysis by e plaining that the Hamptons markets are returning to a normal cycle from before the Co id e plosion where spring and fall are

the busiest seasons and anuary and uly are the slowest months with a ca eat. After a normal slow uly August ne er picked up primarily because of the stock market. The real estate market in the Hamptons took a breath. And now in eptember we are seeing that prices are being adjusted.

ricing adjustments are becoming more commonplace as buyers are no longer in the Co id mindset of purchasing at any price.

ellers are now beginning to understand that pricing should not be based upon the e pectation that the market will continue to rise shares Gary DePersia, a broker in the East Hampton o ice of Corcoran. The steep upward trajectory in pricing e perienced by the Hamptons market during Co id has le eled off howe er this doesn’t mean that the market is poised to fall out of bed. rices are being reduced to reality pricing continues Mr. e ersia not ire sales. The properties are being reduced to and selling at price points where they should ha e been all along.

Tim Morabito from the Westhampton each o ice of Compass agrees. f a seller is reaching a little bit too much the property may be languishing on the market. eals are still coming together at the right price point. Morabito doesn’t see the bottom falling out of the market nor does he belie e that pricing will continue to increase as during the pandemic. f you ha e a good product at the right price there are so many buyers that the product will go. ro ing his point Mr. Morabito discussed a speci ic data point collected and reported by Compass in respect of the market negotiability rate. n so far Compass reports that the negotiability rate is less than . The negotiability rate is the strict contrast between asking price and

contract price; such a low negotiability rate indicates that the only properties that get to contract are those that are appropriately priced.

“There’s a new plateau that’s being set postCovid from pre-Covid,” states Krae Van Sickle, a broker with Saunders in Bridgehampton. “It’s a pretty healthy market now, more balanced. And prices are certainly not Covid prices.” And what makes this market different from

the Covid market? “This post-Covid market is different because of increasing costs, in lationary pressures rising interest rates and the general dynamics of the stock market. There are a lot of cross-currents.” Judi Desiderio also believes that the market is normalizing. “Now we’re in a balanced market: for the amount of inventory, the market is satiated.”

Despite deals happening, inventory remains

a problem. “It’s frustrating,” shares Micheala Keszler of Douglas Elliman in Southampton. “We are still seeing a major lack in inventory. The market is down because there’s no inventory.”

Judi Desiderio sees the lack of inventory from a different perspective. “Let’s remember that the Hamptons are surrounded on three sides by water – there’s never going to be excessive inventory because there’s no additional space. Thankfully our inventory is not excessive at the moment, or the prices would tank.”

Inventory remains a hurdle for Gary e ersia as well. Tere’s still a lack of inventory. For example, there are not a lot of spec houses. Most are getting sold in construction, which has been the case for a long time –but I expect that will change as more new construction hits the market.”

Tim Morabito echoes these concerns. “Inventory is pretty lateral right now, there are very few options and inventory remains very thin.”

So, as we head into 2023, what are the expectations about the Hamptons Market? Is there going to be a downturn? “Absolutely not,” declares Gary DePersia. “I’m

still very bullish on the market. The great thing about the Hamptons is that you can buy something, live in it, make it your own and enjoy it. uring that time you can igure out where and how you really want to live and decide on a new house. And you know that the house you sell will be worth more than you paid for it.”

Tim Morabito sees that high end buyers are now starting to ramp up searches. “People are transitioning dollars to hard assets from the stock market.” And while he sees the market continue to fatten out he belie es that ... no one is going to lose money. And it’s just a matter of time before supply begins to ease, which would lead to a buyer’s market from a seller’s market.”

Michaela Keszler remains positive. “My hope is that we see more inventory, and with more inventory we see more trades.” And some wisdom from Krae an ickle f you ind something that you love and you can afford it, don’t wait for something to change in the market because you never know.”

The prefabriated ‘Leisurama’ Montauk cottage was sold by Macy’s in the 1960’s. The current owners wanted a bright, light beach house renovation, with mid-century accents.

BY NINA THOMSON

For about two years in the rst half of the s Macy’s department store in Manhattan sold pre-fabricated cottages — called eisuramas’ — in Montauk. esigned by the architect Andrew Geller these modest structures were concei ed as acation homes as their name su ests. Tey came with all the signi ers of middle-class life in the Mad Men era a cocktail table a con ertible sofa e en bath towels and toiletries — turn-key avant la lettre

te en Ringelmann an interior designer and furniture builder who runs studio MTK has a longstanding lo e of mid-century architecture and design. o when the new owners of a eisurama a married couple with one child engaged him to decorate the place he en isioned a sleek yet historically correct re-do with furniture and ttings in rattan and brick and brass. Te clients howe er had their hearts set on a bright light beach house albeit one with mid-century accents. or Ringelmann the challenge was to fuse both styles in a way that seemed true to the s uarefoot cottage’s origins and that also felt of-the-moment.

Te place was in bad shape Ringelmann who has e tensi e e perience in the building trade recalls. Te framing around the window

openings was rotted and the kitchen cabinets were falling apart. At rst the clients had hoped to make only cosmetic changes, but once they started talking to Ringelmann and various contractors, they realized more

intensive measures were in order.

Tey ended up stripping the house down to the studs, ripping away decades of fake wood paneling in the process. In

its place went sheet rock and electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation, all of it new. One big constraint was the lack of a crawl space which made it di cult to move gas and plumbing lines, and limited what the homeowners could do.

Happily, Ringelmann, who advised on the construction project, found a way to add an en suite bathroom, which the crew attached to the main bedroom. He also recon gured an odd-shaped existing bathroom, thereby enlarging an adjoining closet.

Once the infrastructure had been shored up, Ringelmann and the owners talked about how to achieve that elusive balance between mid-century style and latter-day beach house. Te way saw it we could go in one of two ways: either we leaned into the mid-century aspects, or we put more of an emphasis on coastal style. For instance, there was a wood-beamed ceiling, and we were divided as to whether or not to paint

it white. Ultimately, we kept coming back to the clients’ vision and ended up painting the ceiling and walls in Benjamin Moore’s ‘Simply White.’ It’s a white that’s not too warm or too cool. Te neutral backdrop was o set with nishes and so furnishings in blue hues.

At the same time Ringelmann found in enti e ways to strike mid-century notes, whether by cladding the bathrooms and the kitchen and dry bar area in a subway tile that resembled brick — brick was used widely in mid-century homes — or using satin brass nishes throughout. Te clients lo ed that so gentle aesthetic which works well with the blue and white color scheme.” Te result is a house with a beachy mid-century aesthetic mid-century rench rattan light tures and all.

As for the une pected gut reno ation Ringelmann says “It was the right call. What you don’t want is a house that looks beautiful only to start to break down in e- or ten-years’ time. Tey now ha e a cottage that feels solid.

KITCHEN CHIC

WHAT’S IN AND WHAT’S OUT IN THE HEART OF THE HAMPTONS HOUSE. BY KATYA RUSSELL

Photo: La Cornue CornuFé. By Nathan Kirkman.

DESIGN

In much of the country, trends in kitchen design are a reflection of broader cultural trends to do with the way we live now. Hamptons kitchens, however — the fancy ones, anyway — take few style cues from those in other wealthy enclaves. Case in point: an article in the New York Times reports that butlers’ pantries are now a thing. In the Hamptons, however, butlers’ pantries are old hat, having been around for as long as there have been butlers. A commentator in the Wall Street Journal declares that kitchen islands are ruining America’s kitchens. Are those monoliths really on their way out? Not east of the Shinnecock Canal they aren’t. And what of the ubiquitous white kitchen? To borrow the title of a Nancy Meyers film — where the white beach house kitchen plays a mega role — it’s complicated.

Thus, to see what’s in and what’s out, we spoke to a cross-section of industry professionals. Based on what they told us, we’ve identified the following elements and accoutrements of the well-appointed Hamptons kitchen now.

SLAB BACKSPLASHES

Interior designers are increasingly choosing backsplashes in stone or engineered quartz over tile for a cohesive look that’s stylish and low maintenance. “Tile can be beautiful but it’s such a pain to clean,” says Brittany Marom. “It belongs in a kitchen that doesn’t get much use. “I almost never see mosaic backsplashes anymore. All those grout lines!”

WOOD TONES

“A few years ago I was getting a lot of requests for kitchen islands that were painted navy blue,” says Laura Sanatore, who runs LMS Design. “Now I’m working on a few kitchen projects in which we’re using blackened wood. Sometimes we’ll choose woods in a finish that matches the floors. It adds an organic note, which is lovely. I really like black in the kitchen, as it feels grounding.”

MIXED METALS

Gone are the days in which fittings and hardware had to match. Today an unlacquered brass faucet can happily keep company with a copper sink. “We would never have seen this years ago, so it’s exciting,” says Jeannine Price of RB Designworks. The trick, she counsels, is to use no more than two different metals in the kitchen. “Be mindful when mixing polished and matte finishes. It takes a skilled eye, but done right, it looks great.”

ENGINEERED QUARTZ

It is here to stay. In an email, Robert Bakes of Bakes & Kropp Fine Cabinetry writes, “Whilst I would agree that some of the rich marbles of calacatta and statuary are uniquely special,

quartz counter design and style has come a very long way over the last few years. The options available to us as designers now is so much more comprehensive and thoughtful than a few

years ago and will, I’m sure, continue to develop. It’s a great option now for clients wanting to blend the look and the function.”

TEXTURE

Perhaps because many of us spend a large part of our lives online, there’s a desire to add texture to kitchens. To this end, Marom recently clad a range hood a paneled refrigerator and cabinets in luted wood. The effect she says “adds depth and makes the cupboards look less like cabinetry and more like bespoke furniture.”

WHITE COLOUR SCHEMES

In spite of what you may have heard, the white kitchen is not going anywhere — at least not in the Hamptons, our sources agree. According to Bakes, it “is here FOREVER, make no mistake. As a style it’s so much more than a trend, it’s a staple, and, with intelligent and creative design to incorporate additional inishes and elements it will remain that way.

MOODY MARBLE

“I’ve been seeing a lot of Alaska Grey, a grey stone with pockets of white,” says Marom, who used it in a recent condo project. “It shows less wear and tear than lighter-colored marbles; plus it has a ton of veining and movement so it’s visually arresting.”

KITCHEN BASICS

THESE RESTAURANTS HAVE THE COOLEST KITCHENS ON THE EAST END

BY HANNAH SELINGER

mysterious process of baking and packaging. There is a smaller kitchen in the back, where more food is prepped, that’s not visible from the dining room, but guests can see the hustle of the bakery from nearly every vantage point: the wheeling of trays of breads, the whorls of meringue atop cakes, the counter service and pale green limeades. It’s a kitchen as cool as the all-day menu concept, which merges breakfast, lunch, and dinner service with patisserie and grab-andgo.

What if you chose your next restaurant based on its kitchen? How much time have you spent thinking about the place where the actual food was made, after all? In the Hamptons, you can dine at restaurants where the kitchen, in all its glory, is the star attraction. Don’t discount the kitchen for its ability to impress. We love these restaurants because of the elevation of this most important of rooms.

At Amagansett’s Coche Comedor, one of the coolest restaurants to dine at in the Hamptons, period, patrons can peer directly into the kitchen, which is open to the former dining car (for an optimal view, choose a rear-facing seat at one of the restaurant’s booths, where you can get a full view of all of the unfolding action). There, you’ll have access to the preparation of some of Coche’s iconic dishes, from the apricot-tamarind-glazed half-duck to the pork rib carnitas to the local

striped bass a la Veracruzana.

In Sag Harbor, Sen, which has ruled the roost for close to three decades when it comes to reliable Japanese food in the Hamptons, offers guests the opportunity to sit up close and personal and watch the masters at work. The kitchen and dining room, which were renovated a few seasons ago, maintain an intimate feel. At the sushi bar, in particular, the kitchen is part of the show. Sit down and enjoy dinner while sushi is literally created before your very eyes. Order the Miyako roll (spicy tuna, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and scallions on the inside, and shrimp tempura and masago on the outside), and indulge in one of the coolest kitchens in Sag Harbor.

At Carissa’s, on Pantigo, in East Hampton (Carissa Waechter, baker extraordinaire, also owns a bakery on nearby Newtown Lane), wide open spaces allow diners to look in on the

Southampton’s Sip ‘N Soda, an iconic burger and ice cream joint that has stood strong for decades, offers one of the Hamptons coolest open kitchens around. Whether you find yourself seated at the restaurant’s historic booths or at the stools that surround the flattop, you’ll be treated to a show: burgers on the griddle; fries and onion rings fried fresh to order; and thick, homemade milk shakes that really are among the area’s finest. If dining at Sip ‘N Soda feels like stepping back in time, there’s something intentional about that. This slow-moving spot is meant to capture a bit of nostalgia and a bit of the old days, and the burgers, fries, shakes, and even lime rickeys are the perfect reminder of how old is cool again.

contemporary trends.

Amidst all this growth and change, our core values have remained the same: functional design, thoughtful balance, and timeless beauty. Our kitchens are still meticulously designed and hand-built at every step. No two kitchens are alike and each and every space is customized to our client's lifestyles. We are proud to create spaces that perfectly blend form and function, from the layout to the integrated appliances all the way to drawer inserts, and we continue to grow creatively by taking design risks to better serve our clientele.

M y career to date has been dedicated to the creation of beautiful kitchens. While running a kitchen design company in London in the early 2000s, I was blessed with the opportunity to relocate to the States, from then on it was my dream to de elop a company that created the nest kitchens. At this same time, Paul Kropp was perfecting the artistry and pro ciency of woodworking through his former company. t was clear from our rst meeting that aul who bought his rst saw at age expressed a similar drive and passion. When we started working together in that dream from my London days seemed to feel like more of a reality. Trough our combined expertise — my balanced design and his skilled cra smanship — in addition to our close working relationship, we knew we could build something exceptional. Just three years later, we made our partnership o cial with the launch of akes & Kropp in .

While that was only eight years ago, our company has evolved and progressed since our initial debut. We expanded our footprint and opened dedicated showroom spaces in New York City, the Hamptons, ong sland lymouth M ay Harbor M and alm each slated to open Jan 2023. We pride ourselves on our ability to act as an essential resource, and our showrooms allow us to assist clients in establishing their own design sensibilities and preferences. We also expanded our team and hired talented employees — from design to operations, marketing, and more, who all share our passion for luxury design cra smanship and superb client service. We’ve also found inspiration from our client’s willingness to become more ad enturous in their design choices. Tis past year, we experimented with colors and styles through our new cabinet nishes — lack Matte lack atin aint and Cinder Stain — to push ourselves beyond our traditional designs and better serve

As we look to the future, with decades of experience working in the United States’ premier homes, we’re proud to be today’s leading kitchen design and manufacturing company for high- uality true custom kitchens. We feel our story has only just begun, and we’re excited to continue perfecting the art of ne cabinetry and designing dream kitchens across the country.
