An exquisite carriage house once inhabited by pop art legend Roy Lichtenstein has arrived on the market, offering prospective purchasers the chance to own the home for a cool $20 million. Constructed in 1897 as part of the palatial ‘Meadow Beach’ manor, the three-level Southampton sanctuary was acquired by Lichtenstein in 1970, whereupon the visionary artist imparted his inimitable aesthetic upon the edifice.
Behind verdant gardens, the home’s glass walls slide open to terraces and balconies with oceanic outlooks, allowing one to savor the susurrus of the surf. The interiors encompass five bedrooms and a grandeur evoking the artistic legacy of its erstwhile eminent inhabitant. Mature cryptomeria trees flank the entryway, while perennial gardens interwoven with exposed tree trunks surround the grounds.
Yet the true treasure is the private pathway to the pristine shore, granting exclusive access to unsullied sands and the endless Atlantic. For the connoisseur of distinguished domiciles possessed of a propensity for pop art, this singular slice of Hamptons history proffers a peerless proposition. But act posthaste—given its provenance, the property might not linger long on the market.
The listing is held by Harald Grant and Bruce Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty – Southampton Brokerage.
