It's a museum, a real screa-um: The Addams Family house

The Addams family house in Sagaponack might be slightly eccentric and jam-packed with unusual collectibles. But creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, not so much. Well, maybe a little.

The residence, once home to Charles Addams—the famous illustrator, cartoonist and Addams Family creator—and his wife, Marilyn “Tee” Addams, nee Matthews, now houses the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation, founded by Ms. Addams in 1999. And due to a just-opened production of “The Addams Family: A New Musical” on Broadway featuring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, there is sure to be renewed interest in the home of the real-life Mr. and Ms. Addams.

Fortunately for curious East Enders, the Cedar Point Lane property will be open for tours from Thursday, April 15, through June 15 and again from September 15 through November 15.

Unless I have lost my mind, (I was a guest at their wedding), Tee and Charlie were married at their Cobb Road house in Water Mill, And yes, the pet cemetery there was part of the wedding scene.
