Embattled Film Exec Harvey Weinstein Pulls $12.4M Hamptons Listing Amid Divorce

This week, producer Harvey Weinstein and his wife Georgina Chapman yanked their shingle-style retreat in the Hamptons from the market. It’s tough to sell a haunted house, even right before Halloween.

Weinstein and Chapman initially put the property up for sale in 2016 with an asking price of $13.5 million; this past summer, they relisted the home, dropping the price to $12.4 million in the process. The couple picked up the East Coast escape in 2014, for $11.65 million. They marketed it due to lack of use.

The house and property—which are located in Amagansett—make for a potent statement of idyll, and it’s a shame that the associations of recent revelations render such an impression so sadly ironic. The home’s façade is marked by the detail-rich, pleasingly eccentric and asymmetrical architecture of classic shingle-style houses of the first half of the last century. The property abuts Gardiner’s Bay, and is known as Broadview on the Bay.

The house dates to the mid-1990’s, and was custom built for film director Barry Sonnenfeld (the director of the ‘Men In Black’ and ‘Addams Family’ franchise films). Its home screening room, as expected, is a large, tiered space built for frequent use.

The house measures about 9,000 square feet, with seven bedrooms, and ten full or partial baths, throughout two floors. The property extends to nearly two acres.
