Susan Lucci, Husband Sell Quogue Estate For $20 Million

The estate known as “Four Winds” in Quogue has just blown $20 million toward its owners, the actress Susan Lucci and her husband, Helmut Huber.

Thus ends a sort of two-year soap opera for the longtime star of TV’s “All My Children.” The 1.4-acre property with 160 feet of ocean frontage on Dune Road was first put on the market in 2014, with a $19.9 million ask. The house, designed by Eugene Futterman, is over 10,000 square feet with 7 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. A particularly attractive feature is the library, which has been designed to resemble a lighthouse tower. There is also plenty of decking from which to gaze at the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The broker who handled the recent $20 million sale is Enzo Morabito at Douglas Elliman. The new owner’s identity has not been revealed.

So begins a new episode in life for Ms. Lucci who, according to her web site, is “the most famous face in daytime television history,” and on the long-running “Children” series was, as Erica Kane, the “woman you love to hate.” After numerous nominations, Ms. Lucci received an Emmy Award for Best Actress in 1999. That same year, she made her Broadway debut in the musical “Annie Get Your Gun.”

After 41 years—and, presumably, a lot of children—“All My Children” ended its run in 2011.

Away from the show, Ms. Lucci has maintained a busy television schedule, which may have left her little time for living in Quogue. She has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has been inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame. She was the host and narrator of the series “Deadly Affairs” on the Investigation Discovery channel. Additionally, Ms. Lucci has appeared on the TV show “Hot in Cleveland, the series “Army Wives” on Lifetime, and “Dancing With the Stars.”

Among her off-camera activities was to pen an autobiography, “All My Life,” which was published by Harper Collins six years ago. If there is a follow-up, it apparently won’t be composed at “Four Winds.”
