Filmmaker’s Water Mill home sale highlights spate of local trades

The Mel Generation-Skipping Trust sold a 6,300-square-foot home at 139 Halsey Lane for $7.25 million to a limited liability company, 27east reported. The home has seven bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, an open-air summer living room, tennis court, pool and gardens over 2.8 acres. Marilyn Clark and Eve Combemale of Sotheby’s International Realty have the listing. Nearby, a 129-year-old home at 396 Cobb Road sold to another LLC for $5.1 million. Built in 1890, the 4,445-square-foot home has four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, library, wrap-around porch and a guitar-shaped pool. The property, listed with Douglas Elliman, also has a separate artist studio with its own bathroom above a two-car garage. A new construction, six-bedroom home listed with the Corcoran Group at 881 Deerfield Road recently sold for $4.6 million, according to 27east, which also reported earlier this month on the $2.6 million sale of late British filmmaker Anthony Harvey’s home at 134 Kellis Pond Lane. Harvey, known for editing Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita,” died at 87 in November 2017. [27east]
