I wonder what it cost to restore? Must have been hundreds and hundreds of thousands....

It's a beautiful old house though. I like that style.

On the water was already restored thats why the price. Very sad story daughter spent like 50 years caring for mother with very little money. I think she got 40,000 for house when mother died. East Hampton is playground for super rich

The article said Sally Quinn bought it for $220K back in 79.
Even after all the restoration it must have needed that's not a bad return on your investment.
