The Headline-Making Ammon Estate Finds a Buyer and a Fresh Start

The well-known Ammon estate in East Hampton recently closed for a little over $8 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. In 2001, the house rose to fame for an unfortunate reason when its owner, investment banker Ted Ammon, was found murdered in the home. A very public trial followed and later a 2012 documentary, called 59 Middle Lane after the home’s address, outlined the lives of the children he left behind who are now adults and are the sellers of the estate.

Greg and Alexa Ammon listed the 7,000-square-foot home this past June for $12.7 million after years of leasing it out. Tenants had inquired about purchasing the spread before, but the twins were not yet ready to let go of their childhood home.

While the estate did not sell for its original asking price, the siblings are most likely just happy to see the house find a buyer who loves it as much as they do. Greg spoke about the property when it was first listed saying, “We truly hope our family home finds the right buyer who can enjoy the many happy memories we had here and appreciate the true beauty that it has to offer.”

The English-manor style abode sits on 2.2 acres of land that boasts sprawling gardens, a large pool, and a charming pond. Gates keep the 6-bedroom, 6.5 bath haven private and the ocean is just a short walk away.

Judi Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate had the exclusive listing. New owners will gain celebrity neighbors like Katie Couric and Jerry Seinfield.
