TWO FOR THE PRICE OF…TWO!
I’m not saying these identical twin cuties — unwinterized 1BR cottages in the Maidstone Park area of Springs (East Hampton), N.Y. — are a steal or anything. The asking price for both, newly reduced, is 449K.
But there’s something tantalizing about them and their possibilities.
They’re on one-third of an acre, a five-minute walk from magnificent Maidstone Beach, a long, never-crowded white sand beach on Gardiner’s Bay that reminds me of the Greek Islands, and great kayaking/paddleboarding spots like the one below.
There isn’t much to them. They’re barely 400 square feet apiece. They sit on cinderblocks and have no fireplaces. But they’re well-maintained and tastefully appointed, with decent baths and kitchens. A pair of friends could share the property, or it could be a modest family compound.
Patios and landscaping would go a long way. They’ve been on the market for quite a while (I first saw them last winter, when the asking price was over half a million). You know what that means: negotiable!

We’ve always loved the idea of a compound where everybody can get a bit of space. To a southern boy “winterizing” just sounds awful thing to have to do. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
