An estate widespread in East Hampton, captured in history and loved by a family for more than half a century, has listed $ 27 million – marking for the second time in the market since its construction in 1958, the post has learned.
Property 1.69 hectares in 21 Hook Pond Lane, formerly owned by a World War II veteran-late Seldon Taylor James Jr.-And his wife, Linda James, offers comprehensive Thook Pond, Tony Maidstone Club and The Atlantic Ocean, a rare combination.
The 4,000 -square -foot house, designed by renowned local architect Alfred Scheffer, contains six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a primary floor suite with an adjacent library.
At the core of it lies a great dual-height room, distinguished by 200-year-old wood beams, spacious boards and enlarged books of books that create images of smooth basin.
“Alfred Scheffer liked to choose these historical references and include them in its design,” said Liz Carey, who co-only listed the property with Valerie H. Smith of Sotheby’s International Realty. “Got Got Triple Hung Windows and a massive fireplace, and it’s really the heart of the house.”
Property attempt is deeply linked to its placement.
Inserted at the bottom of a private lane in the heart of East Hampton Village, it is only a few minutes from Main Beach and wealthy area shops and restaurants. Be and its proximity to water promote an intimate environment.
“What is really interesting to this house is that it is located near the water and there is an extraordinary abundance of wildlife,” Carey said. “You can’t spend five minutes at home without turning into an environmentalist because the rabbit comes out of the bush and the turkeys go beyond and the ball the eagle lands on the tree.”
The pricing of the assets depends on its unprecedented landscape.
“View, appearance, appearance,” said Smith, explaining the appreciation. “It is a heart forbidden forever and sometimes that it will never develop in any way because it is a golf course that will always remain a golf course and pond where nothing can happen.”
She added that Vista, often painted with swans, is “one of the longest open images in East Hampton and permanently protected.”
The story of the house is as rich as its surroundings.
Originally built by Bishop Austin Pardue, who led the Pittsburgh Episcopal diocese for nearly three decades, and his wife, Dorothy, was created with the attention of Scheffer’s signature to historical details and specific design.
The bishop’s family lived in the room until 1970, when he was bought by Seldon, a Navy veteran, a merchant of wool, once Allen and a company employee – and later an independent investment banker in New York and CPAC Inc. at Rochester Upstate.
When he bought the Hook Pondit property, he encountered an unexpected connection.
“One of our favorite stories was when this current family bought the house 55 years ago, the family’s father went to present with their neighbors,” Carey said. “And the neighbor opened the front door and they shouted each other’s names. They realized they had grown together
Seldon passed away in 2012 at the age of 81 and the house remained in the family.
“They just have a supernatural commitment to the home and the property and they just have been, I think the short answer is so happy here,” Smith said. But with their three children now located in California, Canada and the Hudson Valley, the home holding has become embedded.
“There was absolutely no reason to move on,” Smith noted. “But as life changes and their three children are living much more, it is not just realistic for them to spend the kind of time here they would like.”
The decision to sell has been painted with emotion.
“They’re leaving Hamptons altogether,” Carey said. “And it’s bitter because it’s a really special place, the unique they have poured their hearts for so long.”
