The Sun is Shining on the Hamptons Real Estate Market!!!

In what has to be a first… the Hamptons Designer showcase house has actually sold in a relatively short period of time! That’s right! 129 Stoney Hill rd. is reportedly in contract. The 7,000 square foot home with an additional 3000 of lower level living was listed on the market for $5,500,000. While we don’t know what the actual selling price is, $5+ million asking price in Sag Harbor and not on the water was an aggressive take. Once again the Hamptons market is defying conventional wisdom! Maybe the house was actually better done than I thought? I was there when Jill Zarin was whining her way through a tour and I had to cut it short because of my headache!

Meanwhile some home improvements in East Hampton as the historic windmill on North Main street gets a face lift. I’m not sure what it’s costing but I’m sure it isn’t cheap. Wouldn’t it be greener and more economically responsible to put up solar panels instead?! I mean how much power does that thing generate anyway!?

Finally, once again the Sag Harbor Rag-a-muffin parade has come and gone. So what was the verdict! Try $250 worth of candy “packed.” Anyway, a good time was had by all and I’m a little poorer!

The most awesome looking tree in the Hamptons!


I’ve been living out east now full time for about 8 years. One of the sights I see during the month of October on my way to the office is this tree. It’s located on Brick Kiln Road, right off of Scuttle Hole. Now, I know it seems silly but this tree just has me in awe! It’s the color. It’s the shape. I mean if you were to draw a picture of the idea tree in the fall, THIS WOULD BE THE TREE! I know I’m going on and on over something rather mundane but look carefully. I’m right! Isn’t this tree amazing!

Just a little note to friends of mine who sware the Sag Harbor Halloween Parade and Pumpkin trail are this Saturday… You’re wrong. The “Rag A Muffin” parade starts at 11 o’clock followed by thousands of little sugar jacked beggers following the “Pumpkin Trail” at stores and businesses all over town requesting free candy. Just a little note, there is an epidemic of obesity in America, so this year I’m giving out carrot sticks. They’re delicious, healthy and the kids love them!!! Happy Halloween All!

By the way, the costumes that you don’t want to be wearing this year include… LADY GA GA, ANYBODY FROM “AVATAR”, STEPHEN SLATER OF JET BLUE FAME OR A CHILEAN MINER! All of these are hackneyed and overdone. Think of something original… be more like my dog Boo. Superdog! Im so shocked she’s never bitten me!
