More than 20 years later, Nancy Meyer’s 2003 rom-com Something’s Gotta Give still makes waves in the cultural zeitgeist. While some admire the chic “coastal grandmother” aesthetic of Diane Keaton’s character, others are more influenced by the film’s setting: A beachfront Hamptons house with timeless allure. In fact, this circa-2016 Long Island home was entirely inspired by the movie’s elegant backdrop and if you’re in love with it, it can be yours for $3,895,000.
The current owners of the waterfront home hired architect Matthew Korn and interior designer Sarah Bartholomew to bring their vision to life. The airy four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath home is filled blue and white interiors, from the powder room with imported Portuguese tile to the blue grasscloth wallcovering in the dining room. And, what beach house is complete without a large white kitchen?
The 5,700-square-feet of interior living space is a dream and there is major curb-appeal. While a charming front porch, lush landscaping, and lattice windows mean business in the front, there is definitely a party in the backyard. The half-acre property boasts a swimming pool, cabana with a bar, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, and a boat slip.
While Something’s Gotta Give unfolds in Southampton, this lovely property is located on the coast of central Long Island. Kyle Roskot, Nicholas Campasano, and Ricardo Pena of The Agency hold the picture-perfect West Islip listing.
