Reed Krakoff Lists Stunning $49.5M Amagansett Beachfront Home
Fashion designer Reed Krakoff and his wife Delphine have listed their stunning contemporary beachfront real estate at 55 Dune Road in Amagansett for $49.5 million. The couple, known for their meticulous renovations of historic properties, has designed this house to harmoniously blend its controlled interior with the natural surroundings.
The Krakoffs, who previously sold their lavish Upper East Side townhouse for $51 million, have once again put their design prowess on display. The Amagansett real estate, built over five years, features three glass volumes connected by a concrete passageway, offering breathtaking ocean and native plant vistas. The couple has also extensively renovated several historic properties, including Jackie Kennedy's childhood mansion and the New Canaan estate owned by Huguette Clark.
The house is filled with contemporary blue-chip treasures, including works by Richard Long, Martin Szekely, Pierre Jeanneret, and Georges Jouve, as well as pottery crafted by Reed Krakoff himself. Despite expressing disdain for the term 'house flipper', the Krakoffs have a history of transforming properties and selling them for substantial profits. In 2016, they sold the Lasata estate, where Jackie Kennedy spent her summers, to Tom Ford for $52 million after initially listing it for $53.99 million. The couple tends to hold out for their asking price and usually achieves it.
The Krakoffs' Amagansett real estate, listed with Sotheby's International Realty for $49.5 million, is a testament to their design vision and commitment to preserving historic properties. With its unique architecture and impressive art collection, this beachfront house is expected to attract serious buyers looking for a luxurious and culturally significant residence.
