The actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore is listing her Sagaponack estate at 16 Old Barn Lane in the Hamptons for $8.5 million, the New York Post reported. She reportedly bought the place in 2019 for $5.5 million before embarking on a remodel.
The home dates back to 1920, though it’s been redesigned several times since then. There’s seven bedrooms and six bathrooms between the main house and a small guest cottage. Several of the bedrooms are ensuite and some have adjoining decks and balconies.
The main home spans 6,850 square feet, with the price breaking down to nearly $1,241 per square foot. There’s built-in bookcases, a brick fireplace and French doors leading out to the grounds.
The grounds resemble much of the luxury outdoors space seen across the East End. The home includes a pool, pool house, bocce ball court and multiple lounging areas, and is within a mile of the ocean.
Sotheby’s International Realty’s Kathy Konzet has the listing.
Barrymore is best known for her roles in movies such as “E.T.,” “The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates,” as well as the Netflix series “Santa Clarita Diet.” Since 2020, she’s been hosting her own talk show on CBS, though she brushed up against controversy when she tried to bring it back to air amid the Writers Guild of America strike, leading to a very public apology.
More homes hit the market in the Hamptons and the North Fork in April than during the same month last year, according to Miller Samuel’s report for Douglas Elliman.
In the Hamptons, new listings rose 41 percent annually, up from 92 to 130, while new signed contracts remained steady between the two periods.
