Rich cribs: Bridgehampton manse for sale

Edgefield, a sprawling 10,000-square-foot mansion under construction in Bridgehampton, has just come on the market with a price tag of $19.75 million.

The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom manse will sit on 2.6 acres boasting every amenity, inside and out, including seven fireplaces, an in-ground gunite pool, a Har-Tru tennis court and a five-car heated garage.

"I wanted to design an expressive residence that was rich with detail and filled with light," says owner and designer James Michael Howard.

The sale is being handled by Gary DePersia of The Corcoran Group.

HISTORIC CARRIAGE HOUSE

An East Hampton carriage house dating back to the 1700s is on the market for $3.595 million. The property, which is said to have once been owned by some of East Hampton's earliest residents, the Osborne family, has been renovated.

Steps from the village's downtown shopping area, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is on a quarter of an acre and is surrounded on two sides by mature specimen trees from the Whitmore Tree Farm.

"From the street, the house looks like the original turn-of-the-century home, but once you walk through the front door, you will be surprised how the 5,000-square-foot home has every modern amenity," says Jennifer Wilson of Town & County Real Estate of East Hampton, who is co-listing the property with Bill Stoecker. -- CATHY MAHON

COVE NECK WATERFRONT

The Cove Neck estate once owned by Rep. Frederic Rene Coudert Jr. and then his son, the late attorney and philanthropist Frederic "Fritz" Coudert, is now listed for $4,999,999. The house, which has a 228-foot deepwater dock, came on the market last year for $6.25 million.

The 2.8-acre property overlooks Oyster Bay Harbor. There is a five-bedroom guesthouse.

The home, which is still owned by family, is listed with Anne E. Kerr of Piping Rock Associates. -- VALERIE KELLOGG
