QUOGUE, NY — Belle Mead, reputed to be one of legendary architect Stanford White’s final masterpieces — and the former home of Ford Models founder Eileen — has sold for very close to the $9.875 million ask, according to Douglas Elliman.

The 104-year-old Greek Revival, located at 23 Shinnecock Road in Quogue, is sited on 3.5 acres, features 14,000 square feet of "gracious living space," and appeared in Martha Stewart’s book, “Weddings," Douglas Elliman said.

"High style abounds at the lovingly restored and opulent estate, which was commissioned by the Greeff textile family circa 1906," Douglas Elliman said. "Highlights of the property include manicured gardens, original specimen trees, heated Gunite pool and regulation Har-Tru tennis court. Interior amenities include 10 bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, library, drawing room and staff quarters."

According to the New York Post, the home was once a "summer hangout for top models" including Lauren Hutton and Beverly Johnson and first hit the market in 2014 for $15.5 million before selling for $9.5 million.

Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman brought the buyer; the listing was Tim Davis' of Corcoran.
