Listing of the Day Location: East Hampton, New YorkPrice: $11.95 million The Hamptons home known as the Edward DeRose Windmill Cottage dates back to 1885. While the house is a replica of a windmill, it doesn’t create its own energy. What the home does possess, however, are sizable rooms renovated for year-round use. A two-bedroom guest cottage is nestled beside an enormous weeping beech tree, which the listing agent says is the biggest he’s seen in East Hampton. “You can stand under it, and dance under it,” said Peter M. Turino of Brown Harris Stevens. Residents can also dine al fresco under a pergola, or head to the enclosed porch when mosquitoes start to bite. If the house looks familiar, that’s because it made an appearance in the Michael Caine thriller Deathtrap. The Stats The property spans four acres. There are seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms and five partial baths divided among the main residence, the guesthouse and a studio. Design PedigreeThe home was renovated in 1998 by Sandy Peabody and decorated by Arthur Dunnam, according to the listing. Amenities An arched doorway in a brick wall leads to the garden and the swimming pool. Neighborhood NotesThe town of East Hampton is located at the eastern end of the South Shore of Long Island. Residents can hop into their cars and find surfing in Montauk or dine in one of the area’s acclaimed eateries. Agent: Peter M. Turino, Brown Harris StevensView this listing
