Exclusive | Critic of Pulitzer’s winning architecture requires $ 7.49 million for his Hamptons designed by Starchitect Hamptons

A modern Hamptons departure with a unique story, owned by the critic of the Pulitzer Paul Goldberger winning architecture, is on the market for $ 7.49 million.

East Hampton House, on Skiampton Street, is lowered to 1.3 hectares. To the south of the highway, it is less than a mile from the beach.

Last year, it was on the market with an adjacent part of the landscape that came with a tennis court for $ 15 million, which then dropped to $ 13.95 million.

The second part, which is 1.7 hectares, is also still on sale as a whispering list.

“My hope is to sell it all to one person, but we can offer it separately. People look more interesting in this way,” said Goldberger, who is the author of the books including, “Why does architecture matter.”

“The same deal, just split,” added a mediator of the Bristopher Burnside’s list of Brown Harris Stevens, who shares the ranking with Aubri Pele.

Goldberger and his late wife, Susan Solomon, pays $ 245,000 for the 1985 home. It was created by local architect Frank Hollenbeck. At the time, he said: “We thought it as a free, beginner home. But then we liked, and we did a little work.”

In 1993, the couple hired the marked architect Robert Am Stern to design an addition. Daniel Romualdez – then a young architect working for Stern before leaving himself – was also included in the project.
Over time, the couple bought the `lottery next door to save it from development, and placed in a tennis court and lush landscape. The extra work was done in 2016 by the Bates Masi Architects winning firm.

At 5.300 square meters, that small box of a starting house now feels six bedrooms and 6½ bathrooms. Also also the only modern home design in Hamptons from Stern, which is known for its limestone dams in Manhattan, like 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park, both are home to the rich and famous.

Inside the beach house, there is a kitchen of a chef, a gym and two fires. Outside, there is a pool, patios, entertainment areas and landscape gardens.

The main bedroom suite features a home office, a walking closet, an unsafe bath and a large balcony deck overlooking the backyard. Details include high ceilings, large windows and open floor plans.

With two of their three children in California and one -third in Brooklyn, the reduction has become part of the plan, Goldberger said. He sold his home in Belesford at the top of West West, where he and Solomon raised the children and moved to a small collaboration in the United Nations that discovered a new neighborhood, which he said he likes. He hopes to stay in the Hamptons and is looking for a smaller place.

The beach house, Goldberger withdrew, “It’s a lot to continue if you are not protective. We’re lucky to have it.”

While East End without sales at home during the pandemia, sales have fallen sharply in the years since then.
Last year, the number of Hamptons home sales increased by 2%, increasing from 1,522 to 2023 to 1,553 in 2024. Still, compared to the last 10 years, 2024 was the second double year for the number of sales. The worst was 2023, according to a Brown Harris Stevens 2024 Hamptons report at the bottom of the market.

Namely, the dollar volume increased by 3.4% from 2023 to 2024, reaching $ 4.86 billion. The average sales pricing, while posting a modest growth, reached a high height of $ 3.13 million. The average pricing, which reflects the middle of the market, increased by 7%, also setting a new record.

The numbers are “crawling towards the best, but not where they were pre-dandymia,” said a Brown Harris Stevens spokesman.
