SEE THIS HOUSE: A $9.25 MILLION BEACH HOUSE!

April 23, 2012
  • Share
front exterior of a house in the hamptons

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.

foyer with a staircase, dark wood floor, a round table, chandelier and french doors
dining room with blue walls with white trim, a chandelier, french doors with blue and white curtains, dark wood floor, a round table with a glass top and white wood chairs with blue and white cushions
living room white high ceilings and walls, a large window overlooking the pool, a fireplace, built in bookshelf, dark wood floor, a natural trunk coffee table, two sofas and two outdoor wooden arm chairs with blue and white cushions
Kitchen with wood floor, cafe chairs, white counters and counter tops and pendant lights with a large door opening up to the backyard
den with white walls and matching rug, dark wood floor, a fireplace, wall mounted tv, floor length orange curtains and a wooden ottoman
master bedroom with white walls, upholstered headboard, dark wood floor, turquoise curtains and a shell chandelier

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!

    I love it. I can see how the staging is not quite cococozy. But really, the grounds…dining alfresco anyone?!

    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.

    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

    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.

    It could use some more of a good thing but the bones, space, light, and checklist are in order. It’ll do just fine!

    Those look like a bunch of pumped-up houses, almost like the ones in the upper end of a london rent a flat listing.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
