Hamptons 2000: Here Come the Kids!
6 More Weeks for Wilson Eyre's $12.5m Meadowcroft Estate
A very large abode (Amiaga)
What does the Meadowcraft Estate have going for it? It was designed by Wilson Eyre in 1904, for starters; it stretches over seven Southampton acres; it's on Quantuck Bay ("in the legendary yachting community of Quiogue"); its lighting was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany; and its architecture typifies the turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts Movement.
And there's more: due to a mysterious "confusion in the market as to the seller's expectations"--according to auctioneer Sheldon Good--the sealed bid deadline for the estate has been pushed back to September 14, 2006.
If you happen to be a multimillionaire with money to spend on 1904 waterfront Hamptons estates, there's even more good news: the reserve price has been made public--and it's a mere $12.5 million. read more »

Southampton Mansion Asking $48 Million
In Southampton, telecommunications mogul Donald Burns is preparing to list his massive house on Lake Agawam for $48 million, according to a source with knowledge of the listing.
Located on 10.5 acres, the grand home has a distinguished legacy since it was built in 1911. Architect Goodhue Livingston, of the renowned firm Trowbridge & Livingston, both owned and designed the home-which measures over 20,000 square feet. Mr. Livingston's firm also designed such notable buildings as the St. Regis Hotel, the J.P. Morgan headquarters on Wall Street, and the Hayden Planetarium.
Decades later, the family of Hamptons real-estate broker Michael Shaheen owned the palatial house, before selling it to Mr. Burns for around $20 million in 1999.
The sprawling property is comprised of three parcels: in addition to the main house, there is a 19th century barn and a seperate guest cottage. Also, there are two pools (one for the guest house, of course), a spa, and tennis courts.
Brokers Jay Flagg and Raymond Smith, of Prudential Douglas Elliman, will be listing the property, according a source. Mr. Flagg declined to comment.

The Times has a scorecard on Tom Suozzi's new campaign ad, and writes that Christine Quinn will not march is still having discussions with Irish and LGBT leaders, and is hopeful she will be able to march together with the LGBT community in the St. Patrick's Day parade.
