World-Renowned Architect's Hamptons Home Hits Market

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — The beautiful Southampton home of world famous architect Alexander Cooper has hit the market for $2.995 million.

Cooper designed and planned internationally-known public spaces including Battery Park City, the Times Square theater district and Hudson Yards, and was involved in other notable projects including the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art and Zuccotti Park, also in Manhattan, according to Douglas Elliman.

Located at 659 Hill Street in Southampton Village, the intimate property, represented by Priscilla Garston of Douglas Elliman, is a circa-1920s stunner that has been lovingly updated to the highest standards.

The 2,000-square-foot home features three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, several fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen and a myriad of period details and interesting shapes. The .37-acre grounds are beautifully landscaped with specimen trees, and also come with privacy hedging and outdoor gathering areas, the listing notes.

The architect has a body of work that's shaped New York City. Cooper "might be the most influential architect in New York right now. Surely, no architect is having as much impact, not only on the design of individual buildings, but on the shape of wide swaths of the city,"wrote Paul Goldberger in The New York Times.

According to the Douglas Elliman listing, the gorgeous 1920s home represents a rare opportunity in Southampton Village.

The "designer's own home has been completely renovated with the finest fixtures, appliances and finishes, but still retains its elegant, old world charm. . . .Set on a flag lot so it is extremely quiet and private. . . .There is plenty of room for a pool. Enjoy everything Southampton Village and ocean beaches has to offer."
