Villa by the Sea

Let the ocean be your backyard at this breezy manor in the dunes.

Nestled away up in the dunes and just a short walk from the beach, the European-style villa previously owned by ad man and restaurateur Jerry Della Femina and his wife, journalist Judy Licht, rests in a prime location for sensational seaside views—perhaps the best on the East End. Boasting eight bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, the 7,000-square-foot abode on Drew Lane in East Hampton was made for ocean enthusiasts, and its livable interior and luxury features accommodate them in style. The sizable kitchen, sun-lit dining room, heated gunite pool and pool house make this summer dream home the total package.
