KDHamptons Featured Property: Louise & Vince Camuto List Iconic "Wooldon Manor" in Southampton at 48M

Like most Hamptonites, KDH loves to pour over pictures of haute Hamptons homes ~ whether it’s a mansion on Meadow Lane, a perfect Sag Harbor whaling cottage, or a Victorian farmhouse in Water Mill. The high-end Hamptons market has rebounded with a boom, so if you happen to be on the hunt for the quintessential Hamptons estate, you are in luck. One of the most iconic homes in the Hamptons has recently come on to the market. It also happens to be one of my personal favorites ~ ahhh that conservatory!

Feast your eyes on Wooldon Manor:

Wooldon Manor boasts panoramic views which extend over the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Agawam. The residence is offered on 5.25 acres [additional acreage available]. Built in the late 1920s, designed as a summer retreat, it exists now, as originally intended, in harmony with its surroundings. The classic English Tudor style home shares a pedigreed past with was built by five-and-dime heiress Jessie Woolworth Donahue and husband James Donahue, thus the derivation of the name: Wooldon Manor.

Located on the famous Gin Lane in Southampton, this property is the ultimate luxurious retreat. The property is 12,800 sq. ft with 10 bedroom and 10 bathrooms. On over 5 acres, it’s impossible to miss the panoramic views that extend over the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Agawam.

TAKE A PEEK INSIDE THIS STUNNING ESTATE:

The present owners, world renowned designers Louise and Vince Camuto [who have since moved into the equally gaspworthy Villa Maria compound in Water Mill], have honored the estate’s glorious past while completely modernizing and transforming the home and property into a cozy, livable compound. The gracious interiors reflect Louise’s personal style, with fine details like vaulted ceilings, limestone floors and custom bronze doors offer both elegance and comfortable living with many rooms accessing terraces and lawns. The stunning pool, pool house, formal gardens, romantic green house and tennis court are just a few of the superb additions.

Some superb amenities include: 4 fireplaces, hardwood flooring, home theatre, library, security system, guest suite, generator, finished basement, exposed brick, and central air conditioning, electronic gates, and garage.

The classic English tudor style is enhanced with a modern twist combining both elegance and comfortable living. Many of the rooms also have access to the beautiful terraces and lawns. Look outside your bath onto the pool, pool house, formal gardens, cabana, romantic green house, and tennis court. Oh and don’t forget the private beach!

We can’t confirm this tidbit of local lore, but allegedly Woolworth Donahue hired high society architects William Treanor and Maurice Fatio to design her deluxe pool and pool house after she was rejected for membership at the neighboring Southampton Bathing Corporation.
