East Hampton Traditional Sells For $12.5 Million

Country-grade white oak flooring, custom millwork and railings, soaring ceilings, and even Ralph Lauren wallpaper in the dining and powder rooms — all signs that point to a traditional, shingle-style East End home, like the one that recently sold for $12.5 million in East Hampton Village’s summer colony historic district.

Listed with Bespoke, the nearly 9,000-square-foot gambrel at 16 Terbell Lane traded hands on November 12 between an unnamed LLC and new owners Deborah and Steven Shapiro, according to the Real Estate Report Inc.

Designed by architects Francis Fleetwood and Jim McMullan, the entry of this custom six-bedroom, six-bath home, built in 2013, leads to a formal dining room with wainscoting and a built-in china cabinet, across from the living room with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and coffered ceilings.

French doors in the living room open to a light-filled sunroom with radiant-heated brick floors and windows that look out to the backyard, home to a heated Gunite pool and outdoor kitchenette, ideal for cooking meals to be served al fresco on the covered patio, or while lounging poolside.

Inside, the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances by Wolf, soapstone countertops, a large center island with a white glass countertop and bar seating, custom cabinetry, and a breakfast nook.

On the second floor, the master suite comprises a private wing, complete with custom paneled walls, a window seat, a private terrace overlooking the pool, walk-in closet and a dressing room with custom built-ins. The master bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub and radiant-heated white glass flooring, which carries over to the frameless glass door shower with a rain head.
