This Late December Sale was the North Fork’s Biggest of 2020

A December sale of a 1.3-acre waterfront home on Southold’s Paradise Point for $4.95 million was the most expensive home to change hands on the North Fork in 2020, according to Behind The Hedges . Douglas Elliman was on both sides of the deal, with Thomas McCloskey representing the listing and Alexander Aquino bringing the buyer. The property, at  240 Briar Lane ,  went into contract at full ask after just 13 days on the market in October, McCloskey told Behind the Hedges . “It is the best designed and built home I have had the pleasure of representing,” McCloskey said. The Nantucket-style, five-bedroom, six-bath house was designed by North Fork-based architect Tom Samuels of Samuels & Steelman and was built by John Bertani in 2005.
