Renovated Barn House

This beautiful five-acre property consists of a main house and two outbuildings � a small cottage and a cabin. It sits on the edge of Marjorie Merriweather Post�s former estate in Brookhaven Hamlet, on Long Island. Once owned by photographer Bruce Weber, it now belongs to Michel Botbol and his partner, Arthur Krystofiak.

The newly restored, 1,500 sq. ft. barn house is full of charm and character;
the hayloft/den contains a collection of artworks and books, photographs, paintings, and vintage textiles; a custom-made ladder leads to an elevated steel walkway, connecting to an old water tower charmingly entangled in wisteria.
