Former Nixon staffer buys Westhampton home for $4M

And he must maintain integrity of the house! Howard Cox Jr., a partner at venture capital firm Greylock Partners and a former staffer in the Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Nixon Administration, shelled out $4 million for a nearly 3,000-square-foot home on Sunswyck Lane. Sitting on a 1.4-acre lot, the home has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The new owner’s brother Edward, who’s the chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, also has a Nixon connection: he’s married to one of the 37th president’s two daughters, Tricia. [27E]
