A charming East Hampton beach manse designed by the architect of the famed nearby Grey Gardens residence is on the market for $25 million — and it can be yours just in time for the summer season.
This traditional shingled residence at 1 Lily Pond Lane was built in 1905. Known as the Frederick G. Potter House, it stands across the street from rocker Jon Bon Jovi’s home, the EC Potter House.
Both Gilded Age beach retreats were originally built for two brothers and — like Grey Gardens — share the same Arts and Crafts architect, Joseph Greenleaf Thorp.Â
This gated dwelling boasts a long driveway lined by trees. Arrive at the three-story home, and features include 14 bedrooms. It all sits on 1.5 acres.
At 7,500 square feet, it opens to a foyer and a sun room. The main floor also boasts two living areas, a formal dining room and a country chef’s kitchen with exposed brick. There’s also a second dining area and a private study.
Upstairs, the second floor features seven bedrooms, including the primary suite. The third floor comes with an additional seven bedrooms.
Original details include the stairs, hardwood floors, high ceilings and bay windows.
Outside, there are porches, a large brick patio, gardens, mature trees, and lawns that lead to the pool and pool house.
The seller is developer, philanthropist and writer Daniel Rose, 95. His late wife, Joanna Rose, chaired the Partisan Review magazine, and passed away in 2021 at age 90.
The listing brokers are Ed Petrie and James Petrie, of Compass.
