Ballerina Sono Osato's Prestigious Bridgehampton Property Finds a Buyer

Over a year after hitting the market, ballerina Sono Osato’s Bridgehampton estate has nabbed a buyer and is in contract. First listed for $37 million then slightly discounted to $34 million, it’s still a mystery what the coveted Quimby Lane property will sell for in the end. Since the new owner will only be the third person to possess the prestigious 1917-built abode, its value is priceless.

Parting ways with the 7,200-square-foot shingle style home on almost 4 acres of land must be difficult for the accomplished ballerina, who is now 98 years old and using the property far less. Osato and her husband, now deceased, purchased the waterfront residence in the 1970s and got decades of enjoyment out of it. With five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, there is plenty of room for family and friends to soak in the Hamptons season there, too.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about this listing is the opportunity to renovate and update it, to truly leave your mark and make it your own. The buyer can take huge rooms with soaring ceilings to the next level with both style and 21st century technologies, now that smart home systems are all the rage. To really change up the structure, a wall of windows could be added to offer constant views of Sagg Pond, the property’s sandy beach, tennis court, and pool.

Deborah Srb of Sotheby’s International Realty has the pristine listing and according to Behind the Hedges, Bespoke Real Estate brought the buyer.
