The Hamptons - Sales and Rentals

32 Whalers Lane in Amagansett, the very cool modern home designed by David Ling, that I called “Better than OceanFront”, closed on November 18th. Buyer is a great guy, very good Karma going forward.

Just listed, Jeff Colle’s newest project on Wainscott Main Street in Wainscott. Extremely well built, almost everything custom. Reserve views out front, peek-a-boo ocean views from back, and best of all, 2 certificates of occupancy. That means the pool/guest  house will have it’s own kitchen and living areas. Stay tuned for further updates. http://www.sothebyshomes.com/hamptons/sales/0036352
