East Hampton, New York (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
Hamptons real estate broker Gary DePersia of The Corcoran Group (http://www.myhamptonhomes.com) sealed a new record deal for the highest price of non-waterfront property on one-acre North of the Highway at $ 9.75 million. He represented both the buyer and the seller.
Built by whaling scion Nathan P. Howell in 1833, the Greek Revival style home on Sag Harbor’s bustling Main Street was once one of the grandest residences on the East End. It stretches across 9,000-square-feet and four levels with six bedrooms, eight-and-one-half bathrooms and grand parlors including ten fireplaces and a loft with widow’s walk capturing 360-degree village views. On a full-acre of lawn and garden with specimen trees, the structure was family-owned for more than 135 years until the 1970s. It was renovated, maintained and cherished to the highest standards by the seller who had owned since the mid-1990s.
“One-of-a-kind benchmarks can now be set in any market and in any area of the Hamptons. The price lines dividing North and South of the Highway are blurring. This sale is every bit as pricey as a special house on one-acre in the estate sections of East Hampton or Southampton, says DePersia.
DePersia set another North of the Highway market record, unsurpassed since 2011, for the highest price residential sale at $ 36 million, with the 55-acre waterfront oasis Tyndal Point in Sag Harbors North Haven. Here he represented both buyer and seller as well.
About Nathan P. Howell House (http://www.myhamptonhomes.com/Sag_Harbor-real-estate-1384180588-1.php):
In 1833, the scion of a wealthy whaling clan, Nathan P. Howell, built a large Greek Revival style home on Sag Harbor’s bustling Main Street. At the height of his prosperity in 1850, Howell enlarged and renovated his house in the Italianate style to become one of the grandest residences on the East End at that time. Later on in that century, Howell’s daughter inherited the house and succeeding generations maintained the house and its ownership well into the 1970s. After exhaustive work by its seller, who lived there for nearly two decades, modern amenities were balanced harmoniously with original details within this 8,000 SF+/- six bedroom residence on four levels of living space, including finished lower level, serviced by both stairs and elevator, and set magnificently within a full acre of lawn, gardens and specimen trees. Grand parlors within are embraced by broad covered porches setting the tone for this extraordinary offering within close proximity to shops, restaurants and the marinas of a village in the midst of an amazing renaissance. A third floor loft with bathroom leads up a short staircase to the widow’s walk capturing 360-degree views of the surrounding village, forming the perfect venue for that postprandial cigar.
