This Sagaponack home has plenty of architectural pedigree. It was designed by Charles Forberg, who also built the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton and is son-in-law of German architect Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus school.
It is on the market for $4.995 million.
Listing agent Michael Schultz of The Corcoran Group considers the house, built in 1994, a precursor to the trendy modern barns that are popping up around the Hamptons. “In a certain way, this was way ahead of its time,” he says.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house has a south-facing wall of glass and cathedral skylights, and sits on 1.6 landscaped acres. The property features a heated gunite pool.
