For some folks, 13 might not be a lucky number, but it was for two owners in North Haven who received that many millions (plus change) for their property on Seaponack Drive.
The specific figure, $13,680,000, was easily the biggest local real estate transaction reported last week.
This particular parcel has come a long way in a short amount of time. The 1.84-acre lot was purchased for $2.5 million in 2014, and two years later construction was completed.
There now sits a residence of just over 8,000 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, and of course there is a pool and lovely landscaping.
It does not hurt that the Village of North Haven is surrounded by water on three sides.
Of some interest may be that the buyer of the Seaponack manse is listed as the rather banal 6seaponack LLC, but that limited liability company traces back to an entity named North Point Trust. This company’s headquarters is on West Boulevard in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The sellers, by the way, were Jess Reeves and Robert Lewis, principles in the locally-based Nigel Lewis Design.
There were two other recent sales of note in North Haven.
A house on Maunakea Street changed hands for $3,150,000. This 4,200-square-foot residence has 5 bedrooms and 6 baths and lots of amenities, including a fireplace in the master bedroom suite. The purchaser was Mitchell Minskoff, son of the Manhattan real estate mogul Edward Minskoff.
And after plunking down $2,300,000, Kenneth Gettinger, chairman of investment firm KPG Capital, is the new owner of a property on North Haven Way.
