This property has a very interesting history. It was once owned by the first aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onasis. Big Edie and Little Edie are remembered for their crazy eccentric bling, bling lives. They were from Park Avenue and they often vacationed in the Hamptons where they ended up turning their lives into complete ghetto and poverty. The story of how they went from riches to rags is unbelieveable. They ended up living with flea infested cats, racoons and no running water. The house was in such bad shape that in 1979 they had to sell it. No one not even the real estate agents wanted to go inside. They smell was so foul but ended up selling to former Washington Post Exec Editor for $220,000 which was a steal even for the 70s for this property which is worth in the tens of millions now. HBO did a movie on it starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore here's the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW5ryhrzYC4 unfortunately I missed it but I'm definitely going to search for a copy on the internet.
