Hedge fund manager Barry Rosenstein sold his Hamptons estate this spring. The property had been listed at $52.5 million, but Rosenstein accepted an offer of $37 million for it.

The house was something of a labor of love. A heavily altered 1920’s shingle-style summer home, its architecture is now a postmodern amalgamation which combines the charm of the original style with modern and industrial design elements; most remarkable is the series of reclaimed tongue-in-groove panels that form a lateral patchwork trim across the home’s façade. The result is strikingly artistic, and potently connected to its landscape.

The homes interiors are thoroughly contemporary, with maple floors, abundant glass, and a lack of ornament that allows the home’s design—and, more importantly, its setting—to comprise the context of the living style.

The main house measures 10,500 square feet, and contains nine bedrooms and thirteen baths. It is an ecologically relevant design, with a geothermal cooling and energy-efficient and sustainable materials used throughout. The property also includes a caretaker’s cottage, which has a green roof, as well as two bedroom suites and a full kitchen. The poolhouse has been converted into a two-level studio space.

The grounds feature fairly heavy forest on the three landward sides; the home is positioned far enough from the water to allow a natural progression of lawn, scrub, and beach to stand between it and salt water.

Rosenstein is the founder of hedge fund firm JANA Partners.
