As I mentioned earlier, the thing that makes this Hamptons house interesting is that the owner embezzled her way into it. Catesby Kilmer stole $2.25 million from her employer Howard Gittes and just received a three- to nine-year-sentence for her crimes. Talk about a motivated seller. The Southampton, New York estate includes a four-bedroom vintage farmhouse, two-bedroom guest cottage and a pool. The home is listed at $2.5 million and proceeds go to making restitution so you could probably get yourself a deal on the furniture too.
