So, I want a house in the Hamptons. Period.
Here’s the latest in my search of multimillion dollar real estate listings there…
From Saunders Realty, a $9.25 million dollar home that sits on an acre of land, a stone’s throw from the beach, with 7 bedrooms and 8.5 baths in 8,000 sq. feet.
Not sure this is quite my Hamptons dream house…maybe it is the staging that is throwing me off a bit. But it does have many of the things I would want in my little ol’ beach home..let’s see…
Lots of bedrooms – check
Private beach access – check
Chef’s kitchen – check
Grounds (way of saying you have more than a sliver of a backyard) – check
Library (to house books I don’t have time to read) – check
Sunroom (a room to enjoy the sun?) – check
Lots of bedrooms (did I mention that already) – check
Anyhooo, take a look at this listing and let me know whether you could “work” with it to make it into your summer weekend getaway spot.
What do you think? Take it or leave it? I would definitely leave behind all of the furnishings, repaint that dining room and take down the color themed drapes in each room and then start over…and then I would take it in heartbeat. Now what to do if I was offered this as is with furniture and all…I guess I would have to figure out a way to live with it all…would be a first world problem indeed!
Want to hear what you would do. Please weigh in!
Happy Monday!

Is that a Housewife’s home?
I love it. I can see how the staging is not quite cococozy. But really, the grounds…dining alfresco anyone?!
Wowza! That’s a spectacular home. I love all of the white mixed with other cheerful hues….. oh, and that pool!!!
WOW!! What a house… Tipical house in the Hamptons right!? It’s A-MA-ZING!!!
But i would probably leave some stuff and redecorate others parts. And I would probably keep some of the unused stuff and would sell the others.
Yeah, I GUESS I could make that fit in with my summer plans 🙂

Agree with the staging. Gorgeous house. Needs some Cococozy 🙂
Gorg! I think I’m getting some bad/good/bad (for the wallet…) ideas from all of these beautiful million dollar homes! 🙂
The house and the location are lovely. The pool and exterior are lovely. Enough said. I would change most, if not all of the furnishings and wall colors. Now, if you are giving it to me, I might be able to live with it.
Best…Victoria
Okay, count me in. I want one too!

love it – i would take it
OMG! Not much like that on my side of the world (Brisbane, Australia). Imagine having that as a weekender – completely amazing, so much potential. Kate 🙂
Such a pretty and light home. I am not totally nuts over the furnishings however and think they can be improved upon but that should be my biggest problem, haha!
The exterior and property is beautiful. The interior shots aren’t impressive for the price. I’ve seen better staging. I thought it was funny that they didn’t include any photos showing the ocean view. I thought that was part of the reason the price was so high ( ok .. I know it’s in the Hamptons) or what did they mean when they described it as ” a stones throw” from the ocean. I also wonder what 1/2 a bedroom is.. they said 8.5 bedrooms??? My home isn’t anywhere near as grand as this… it is a beautiful home… just the staging… pretty sure I could handle that if I lived there.
I’d take it.
It could use some more of a good thing but the bones, space, light, and checklist are in order. It’ll do just fine!
I love apartment #1 … Would love to know where I can get a sofa just like it! 😉
Drapes and furniture are yuk… House itself seems nice. Love the grounds and the pool.
Those look like a bunch of pumped-up houses, almost like the ones in the upper end of a london rent a flat listing.
