A former potato barn converted into a luxury Hamptons getaway has hit the market for $4.45 million.
Prior to becoming the go-to getaway for New York City's richest, the Hamptons was the place for potato farming. Now, what was once one of those farms was transformed into a three-bed, three-bath Bridgehampton home and studio of award-winning artist Karl Mann and Hector Leonardi.
As the legendary duo approach 90 years old, they have decided to let go of 488 Ocean Road, which is currently listed with Douglas Elliman brokers Kyle Rosko and Marcy Braun.
'The secret to renovation is deciding how you want to live,' Mann said.
The barn, which is mainly underground, boasts two identical sun-filled art studios (the pair's original creative spaces) and vaulted ceilings.

The first floor offers more than just art studios. The primary suite is a haven of luxury, complete with its own ensuite bathroom, marble tub, and private courtyard.
