Calvin Klein's East Hampton Estate Lists for $165 Million
The former East Hampton estate of Calvin Klein, acquired for $3.6 million in 1987 and sold off-market for $85 million in 2021, is now listed for $165 million. Spanning 8.2 acres, the property features a 9,000-square-foot main residence, 500 feet of frontage on the Atlantic Ocean, and a boathouse by Georgica Pond. Constructed in the early 1890s for socialite Laura Brevoort Sedgwick, the shingle-style home was designed by Joseph Greenleaf Thorp, known for Grey Gardens. It was owned by Juan Trippe, founder of Pan American World Airways, until the Klein family took over. The current owners, a Delaware LLC, have significantly renovated the property, now named Traumhaus. Listing agents Ed Petrie, James Petrie, and Charles Forsman of Compass aim to attract wealthy buyers by timing the listing with SpaceX's expected IPO, potentially setting a sales record in the Hamptons.
