The Late Marshall Oreck’s Amagansett Beach House Sells For $7.25M

The oceanfront Amagansett beach house of the late Marshall Oreck, a founding executive of the vacuum company bearing his family’s name, recently sold for $7,250,000.

At the end of a private road, the contemporary home on 0.39 acre is just 1,150 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it among the smallest homes on the ocean in East Hampton Town.

The residence has wood floors and walls, glass sliders and large windows, a brick fireplace, a deck out the back doors and another sitting area down the private boardwalk to the shore.

William Kuneth and Timothy O’Connor of Brown Harris Stevens had the listing.

“The house was owned by Marshall Oreck, founder along with his brother of the Oreck Vacuum Corporation,” O’Connor said. “He built the house in 1970 and his family enjoyed using it through the years until his passing in early 2021. His family decided then to sell the home. One of the major factors in the sale that pleased the sellers is the fact that the new owner was the only interested buyer, out of many, who loved the property as is and only plans to update the existing house, whereas other customers would have torn the house down and built a new one. One of the really special features is that there are water views from every angle in the house.”

The deal closed on March 2, according to The Real Estate Report Inc. The new owner is only identified as 323Marine LLC.

The residence was listed in June 2021 for $9.5 million and by November was being offered for $7,500,000.
