The northwest corner of East Hampton is a quiet antidote to the summer enthusiasts of the southern parts of the town. At night, you can see the sparkling lights of Shelter Island, Barcelona Neck and Sag Harbor by the water. The real estate dollar goes a step further and rewards are an area that feels like a departure from the world. That’s why celebrities such as Donna Karan, Diddy, Hugh Jackman, and Chris Cuomo decided to live here.
Speaking of Karan, high-end art couples Marlene and Paul Helling originally bought a house in the famous Bullspass in the northwest from their daughter Gabby, who is best known for restaurants in Tuttil Giorno. .. They sold the place for $ 2.7 million in September and have just upgraded to a fairly large home, still northwest but close to the beach. Douglas Elliman’s Atlantic team, on behalf of both buyers and sellers, closed off-market sales for $ 5.65 million.
Located on 3.87 acres, this hotel is located in the waterfront community with private access to Northwest Harbor. Built in 2008, the Mediterranean-style Stucco Residence offers 9,000 square feet of accommodation. With 5 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the classic-style house boasts a two-story foyer with stairs, a magnificent dining room, a formal living room and a spacious kitchen. A large porch leads from the kitchen, from which you can enjoy views of the surrounding gardens. The house also has a living room, library / media room, morning room, mud room, 6 fireplaces and an elevator. Downstairs is the 1,000-thread wine cellar, gym and steam sauna.
Outside, there are two garages that accommodate three cars, including a studio / workshop with a bathroom. There is a shotcrete pool and spa, a pool house, a wisteria-covered arbor, and a fountain with a columnar pavilion overlooking the croquet lawn. Specimen trees include beech, London planes, cherry trees, and hornbeam tree-lined avenues.
Paul Helling and his twin brother John run a very high-end, exclusive art dealership based on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The New York Times wrote about the pair: “With the exception of a handful of art insiders, few know who the Herring brothers are. Quietly, they form some of the country’s best private art collections. The two are some sort of middleman, a careful combination of art buyers and sellers. There are no public galleries or street-level shops. Instead, they work in townhouses on the Upper East Side. “
Herring deals with the work of artists such as Tiepolo, David and Bombin, whose clients include Ronald and Leonard Lauder. They are also the Louvre, J. We sell paintings from the Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and British Museum. Obviously, the brothers’ tastes run into classic and high-class works of art. Paul’s recent purchase, this home should be the showcase for them.
