On the sizzling side, one of the season's biggest celebrity purchases comes from fashion designer Tory Burch, who bought the Westerly Estate on Ox Pasture Road in Southampton. Burch paid $16.5 million for the late Howard Gittis's home, a 25-room Georgian estate with grounds worthy of a European chateau. Built in 1929 by the architectural firm Hiss & Weekes, the property also comes with a pool and tennis court. One highlight: the backyard is a meadow with what seems like endless fields of green grass.

 

The interiors feature hand-plastered vaulted ceilings, a grand foyer with a curved staircase and a spacious living room. New York architect and designer Daniel Romualdez is updating and decorating Burch's home. Tim Davis from Corcoran had the listing.
