Fashion Icon’s Old Estate on Market for Record-Breaking Sum

Raymond Hall / GC ImagesThe former New York mansion estate of fashion icon Calvin Klein is on the market for an eye-watering 165 million. Were it to fetch its staggering asking price, it would eclipse the previous record set for a property sale in the Hamptons. Klein sold the plush seven-bedroom, 9,000-square-foot main house along with the corresponding estate for 85 million back in 2021, and its current owner has since carried out a major renovation that has helped its price balloon. If they can shift it, it will become the most expensive pad in the coveted area, surpassing the 137 million sale in 2014 of an East Hampton property to hedge fund goliath Barry Rosenstein. The former Klein house was built for famed attorney Henry A. James, the Daily Mail reports. It comes with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Georgica Pond. “We generally don’t get properties with this type of acreage and an additional buildable oceanfront lot, Ed Petrie, of real estate firm Compass, told the Mail. “That’s part of the reason for the price tag.”Read it at The Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.
