Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union Buy North Fork Summer Home

The Hamptons is the historic hotspot on Long Island for celebrity buyers. Dwyane Wade and wife Gabrielle Union, however, are bringing the heat to its alter-ego.

The former NBA star and the actress paid $2.6 million for a home in Jamesport on the North Fork, the New York Post reported. The East End beach house has been featured in magazines, including Domino and Dwell. Its half-acre footprint includes a private beach on the Long Island Sound.

The price for the 3,500-square-foot abode breaks down to $743 per square foot.

The sellers are Stuart Elliott, the CEO and editor-in-chief of The Real Deal, and his wife Julie Satow, a bestselling author and former real estate reporter. They declined to comment.

Elliott and Satow purchased a 1940s cottage on the site as a teardown eight years ago for $600,000 and built a house with custom designs and interiors, such as high ceilings, an open floor plan and glass windows.

The home, in the Town of Riverhead, has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest room. The primary bedroom suite has a private balcony and office nook. The house also has an expansive basement, screened porch, waterfront deck, outdoor shower and hot tub.

Corcoran’s Sheri Winter Parker had the whisper listing.

Wade is an institution in Miami — and was recently honored with a statue outside the arena of his former team, the Miami Heat — but has recently been making inroads elsewhere. He and Union moved their home base to Los Angeles and Wade has become a minority owner of the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.

In 2021, Wade and Union sold their waterfront Miami Beach mansion for $22 million, more than $10 million off the original asking price from two years earlier.

Their newest home is pricey by North Fork standards but nowhere near the record $20 million sale paid for a Peconic estate that is now back on the market at $35.5 million. Parker has that listing as well.

Earlier this year, a $10 million sale set a record for Mattituck as Florida-based buyers purchased the home at 1140 Park Avenue.
