Home Sale for $12 Million Sets New Record in Springs

A Springs home fronting Maidstone Beach and Gardiners Bay sold at the end of September for $12 million, a new record for the hamlet by $3 million, according to Brown Harris Stevens.

On 0.83 acre at 12 Gallatin Lane near Maidstone Park, the five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom traditional by Southampton architect James McChesney was completed in 2014.

The foyer with a 46-foot wall of glass captures water views. The living room with a fireplace leads into a 20-foot dining room, and also off the living room is a screened-in porch with its own fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, double dishwashers, a large breakfast bar and a wine cooler. The finished lower level offers a king-sized bedroom, a bathroom, a den/media room and storage space.

A two-car garage and “garden shop” are detached.

Moving outdoors, the garden design is by the late Jack deLashmet. The grounds include an infinity edge waterside pool plus lounge and dining areas.

Peter Turino and Shannan North of Brown Harris Stevens had the listing, which was priced at $13.75 million when it hit the market in June.

“The breakthrough price of this property has opened up a new, high-end market for The Springs,” Turino said. “This special house and its beautiful surroundings are clearly among the finest to be found anywhere in East Hampton.”

The sellers were Richard Ziegelasch, a Brown Harris Stevens agent, and his partner, Patrick Campion.
