A circa 1925 Southampton Village residence named “Copper Beach” has found a buyer after two years on the market.
The property at 124 Herrick Road entered the market in the fall of 2017 for $12 million. The $8.5 million final sales price equates to a 29.2 percent discount from the initial offering. It was listed for $9 million at last ask.
It was a co-exclusive listing shared by Harald Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty and Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
The hedged parcel with a semi-circle driveway is 0.9 acre, and the home is 4,425 square feet. It comes with a 40-by-15-foot heated salt-filtrated pool and spa with a pool house, plus a sunken Har-Tru tennis court.
The residence has been renovated and now has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half-baths.
The bluestone entry opens to a glass staircase. Across blondewood floors, the view continues through to the patios. One patio has an outdoor kitchen and dining area with a built-in barbecue. There’s also an outdoor living room with a fireplace, so it’s hard to imagine spending any time indoors. However, that’s where the formal dining room and the all-stainless chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry are found.
The master suite, two guest suites and an office are on the second story, and the third floor offers two bedrooms, a recreation area and two full bathrooms.
The lower level is finished with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a family/media room, wine storage, an exercise room, a laundry room with double washers and dryers, and a half-bath.
Also among the amenities are home automation and an indoor-outdoor audio system.
The sellers were Ayla and Antonio Famos and the buyer was Babycatone LLC, according to The Real Estate Report Inc.
Also in the village, a 1-acre property at 300 Murray Place, just three properties removed from the ocean and with private beach access, has sold for $6.8 million.
The sellers were Alfred and John Geary and the Morton & Schley Family Trust, and the buyer was an anonymous LLC, according to The Real Estate Report Inc.
Corcoran’s Tim Davis had the listing. It was last asking $6.95 million.
This cottage is within the historic Murray Compound, which was originally a 250-acre oceanfront enclave, according to the listing, which notes that the property can accommodate a new 5,800-square-foot home. The existing shingle-style residence has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
