Built in 1870, which was surprisingly before Southampton was formally acknowledged as a village, this newly listed estate is rich in history and was originally built for Charles G. Francklyn, the heir to the Cunard shipping fortune. First listed in 2016 for $31.7 million, the home has been relisted for $28 million, in hopes of finding a new buyer.Labeled as the Redcraft, this red-stoned home encompasses 6,700-square-feet of interior space and features stunning interiors from the work of designer Steven Gambrel who revamped the historical home to resemble an English-Manor style home. This includes ample size, such as seven bedrooms, a grand living area with fireplace, a formal dining room, and an enclosed sunroom. Accessible through French doors, the estate also offers several patios for enjoying the outdoor air, as well as a pool and pool house.Furthermore with exterior space, the listing comes with a surplus of land with gardens that resemble England’s Sissinghurt Castle Garden and manicured hedges across three and a half acres.Harald Grant and Bruce Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the historic listing.
