Georgica Grandeur, Estate of the Day

If you don't like prints today's sweetly traditional home in the Hamptons probably isn't for you. This older three-story estate is wreathed in a wealth of toile and chintz, from the curtains to the walls for an effect that lies somewhere between grand and granny. I don't know who did the interior design but it reminds me of much of Mario Buatta's work. The home has seven bedrooms, cook's kitchen, formal dining room. It opens with a light airy space, a large foyer that leads to a double-height living room with a wall of windows that let in sunlight. The over one acre property includes a pool and pool house. This home is listed at $7.9 million.

It's not that the flowers are too bad--well photo 8 is a bit over the top. But this is a beach house? Looks like I belongs in suburbia hell adjacent to a Target and a Walmart.

A great number of the houses in the Hamptons look like they are from suburbia...and not at all like beach houses...many look like the NYC apartments the owners leave for the summer...i.e., extremely decorated and fancy...
BTW: I live (part of the time) in 20008.
