Dick Cavett’s Montauk Home Returns to Market for $48.5M

Talk show host and author Dick Cavett has owned this charming Montauk property since 1967, and it has quite the story. HC&G featured the incredible abode in 2017 and delved deep into its history as well as its style. Designed by the renowned architect Stanford White, the home was built in the 1800s and later meticulously rebuilt using pictures and Cavett’s memory when it burned down in 1997. Over twenty years later, the celebrity is ready to let his beloved shingle-style beauty go. It first listed for $62 million in May 2017, but it seems that was too steep a price and it was taken off the market this June. Perhaps the new price tag of $48.5 million will entice a buyer.

The historic three-story house is set on 19.8 lush acres, which includes 900-feet of impeccable private beachfront. Within the structure’s 7,000-square-feet, there are seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. Traditional interiors have a nautical flair and are elevated with modern finishes like the stunning marble countertops in the kitchen.

Take in the property’s natural beauty and ocean views from the massive wraparound porch, which is ideal for summer entertaining. Parties can be as low-key or loud as a homeowner desires since neighbors are nowhere in sight.

Gary DePersia of Corcoran has the legendary listing, which comes with two nicknames. The entire property is dubbed Cavett’s Cove, while the home itself is called Tick Hall.
