1/9Photographs Courtesy of Douglas EllimanThe Sag Harbor home of art and antiques dealers Michael and Elfi Eicke is known to HC&G readers for having a rich history. The property was profiled in our July 1, 2011 issue and is now on the market for $4.2 million. Built in the 1880s, the East End residence started out as a fisherman’s saltbox and became a haven for the European transplants in 1994.Prior to the Eickes taking ownership, painter Susan Rothenberg owned the house and commissioned architect Lee Skolnick to build the property’s two-story art studio, bringing the total living space to 3,500-square-feet. The main residence charms with a layout of small-scale, cozy rooms that stay true to the home’s history. A sky-top bridge connects the house to the studio, which current owners are using as a guest house and a place to keep their art collection. Between the structures, a European-style courtyard boasts a pool and outdoor lounging areas.Next, the late neo-expressionist Louisa Chase, whose work is featured in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and more, called this gem home as she rose to prominence in the 1980s until she sold it to the Eickes. Chase dubbed the estate “Camp Lucy” after her beloved dog, a name that has stuck ever since.Barbara Lobosco and Robert Evjen of Douglas Elliman have this special listing.Photographs Courtesy of Douglas EllimanThe Sag Harbor home of art and antiques dealers Michael and Elfi Eicke is known to HC&G readers for having a rich history.
