Perched high atop a rugged bluff that gazes out over the vast Atlantic Ocean, the Stone House stands as a hidden gem on the far eastern edge of Montauk, New York. This rustic stone estate, largely known only to local fishermen and water enthusiasts, is a true testament to the beauty of nature and architecture intertwined. “This place is absolute magic — it’s a fairy tale,” enthused Kyle Rosko, a seasoned Hamptons resident and real estate agent who often surfs near this secluded 3.2-acre haven, aptly named the Stone House.
This charming residence, originally constructed in 1912, boasts a rich history highlighted by notable owners, including renowned interior designer Tony Ingrao. Ingrao acquired the property in 1987, undertaking extensive renovations to enhance its allure. However, tragedy struck when a fire in 1991 necessitated a complete rebuild of the home.
The current owner, Linda Ehrenwald, along with her late husband, the esteemed diamond expert Jerry Ehrenwald, purchased the Stone House in 1998. Their admiration for the home was so profound that they also acquired many of Ingrao’s exquisite furnishings after being captivated by its interior design showcased in a magazine.
The entry hall of the Stone House elegantly leads to a formal dining room, setting the tone for the refined yet welcoming atmosphere of the home. It is a place where memories are made and cherished.
Following the passing of her husband last year, Linda Ehrenwald has made the bittersweet decision to sell this enchanting property. The home is currently listed at a price of $18 million, as stated by Mr. Rosko of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who is collaborating with his colleague Marcy Braun on the listing. The annual property taxes for this remarkable estate amount to $45,299.
