The 1925 William H. Woodin Cottage — originally the gardener’s cottage on the oceanfront Woodin estate in East Hampton Village — has sold for $11 million.
Renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury designed the two-story stuccoed residence at 117 Lily Pond Lane. It has four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room and a den. The 1.4-acre property on the south side of Lily Pond Lane has a swimming pool, a gazebo and a man-made pond.
The listing notes that the cottage could be expanded with an allowance of 6,410 square feet of gross floor area.
William H. Woodin, an industrialist who was President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s secretary of treasury, is the namesake of the solid gold Woodin Cup, awarded from the 1920s through the 1940s by the Maidstone Club in East Hampton to the winner of a tennis tournament for ranked female players.
The seller was Polly Thudium Bruckmann, widow of Donald Bruckmann, a New York investment banker and conservationist who died in 1999. According to the New York Times obituary for Mr. Bruckmann, he was a trustee and former chairman of the New York Botanical Garden, and he created a 2-acre garden on Lily Pond Lane, from the road to the dunes, complete with the aforementioned pond.
Ms. Bruckmann continues to live on Lily Pond Lane in an oceanfront property where she will host “A Bach Sampler,” a concert to benefit the Choral Society of the Hamptons, on Saturday, April 18. She is also a member of the Village Preservation Society of East Hampton and a past president of the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons Board of Directors.
The sale of 117 Lily Pond Lane closed in February. The last asking price was $13.75 million. The buyer was an anonymous limited liability company, according to The Real Estate Report Inc. Peter M. Turino had the listing for Brown Harris Stevens.
