Bethenny Frankel’s Longtime Home in the Hamptons Is Hitting the Market for $6 Million
Now that Bethenny Frankel has settled into a $5.4 million summer home on New York’s Shinnecock Bay—where she’s been seen toodling around town with her daughter Bryn in a vintage Bronco and is just steps away from easily indulging in her beloved pastime of paddleboarding via a private beach—The Real Housewives of New York City alum and Skinnygirl Cocktails mogul has no need for her other Hamptons residence. So, she’s decided to hoist her longtime digs in the hamlet of Bridgehampton on the market with Noble Black and Erica Grossman of Douglas Elliman, asking a smidge under $6 million.
Records show Frankel paid $2 million for the Lumber Lane house overlooking a vast nature preserve back in 2013 and then doled out an additional $650,000 for a neighboring property with a small home. Per Behind the Hedges, this was one of the first major purchases she made on her own after she sold Skinnygirl to Fortune Brands’ Beam Global in 2011 for an estimated $100 million.

The roughly 1.4-acre property is secluded behind gates and hedges and showcased by a shingle-clad main home boasting four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 2,500 square feet of two-level living space accented throughout with honey-hued hardwood floors and designer finishes. There’s also a detached one-car garage, plus a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage that spans about 600 square feet and has its own kitchen and living room.
Extensively remodeled during Frankel’s tenure, the charming main house features a living room sporting a fireplace with a brick surround and access to a bluestone patio, as well as an upgraded kitchen outfitted with bespoke millwork, an eat-in island, top-tier Viking appliances, and an accompanying dining area. Just off the kitchen is a cozy sunroom, while an en-suite bedroom on the main floor is currently being used as a den.
Four more bedrooms can be found upstairs, including a primary suite that comes complete with a balcony and a spa-like bath spotlighted by dual vanities and a vintage-style soaking tub. Outdoors, the picturesque grounds are laced with gardens and host a pool and spa, a poolhouse with a half-bath, a kitchen setup, and plenty of spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.
In addition to her Hamptons homes, the 53-year-old New York native also maintains a primary residence in Greenwich, Conn., along with pied-à-terres in Manhattan and South Florida. The avid real estate investor, who joined former Million Dollar Listing agent Fredrik Eklund in 2018 for the Bravo show Bethenny and Fredrik, also has bought and sold numerous homes in both Greenwich and the Hamptons, including a historic Bridgehampton home known as Morning Glory that went for nearly $2.3 million back in 2020.
