‘Manchester by the Sea’ Director’s Bridgehampton Home Lists for $12M

Kenneth Lonergan, the screenwriter and director behind gritty dramas like Manchester by the Sea and Gangs of New York, parted ways with a lovely property in Bridgehampton back in 2015. Curbed reports that interior designer James Michael Howard (who is no newcomer to the real estate game) bought it for $3.7M and now that property is the site of a new construction by celebrated architecture firm McAlpine—their first in the Hamptons—that lists for $11.95M. The listing boasts that the home “redefines turnkey” as it comes fully furnished with custom pieces from the James Michael Howard collection. It spans 11,600 square feet and features 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms along with a 10-person breakfast nook in the eat-in kitchen, a second-floor lounge and a home theater. Brown Harris Stevens’ Martha P. Gunderson has the listing.
