Quogue Waterfront Home Shatters Area Record With $8.5M Sale

The Long Island real estate market north of Montauk Highway just cleared a new financial barrier.

A waterfront residence at 43 Old Main Road in Quogue closed for $8.5 million on Oct. 16. This transaction breaks the previous record of $5.5 million for the area. The former benchmark was set in January 2025 by a neighboring property at 45 Old Main Road, according to Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman.

The timeline for this sale moved quickly. The property, listed at $9.5 million, went under contract within 55 days. Morabito noted that the sellers initially questioned the pricing strategy. “When we priced it, close to $10 million, the owners thought I was crazy,” he said. The buyer, a gentleman who previously attempted to purchase a home in Hampton Bays, secured this property to close the gap. “This time, he wanted to come out ahead,” Morabito said.

The 4,345-square-foot home was built in 2016 by Austin Patterson Disston Architects. The design features a classic coastal New England style with gabled rooflines and shingle siding. The interior centers on a chef’s kitchen with marble countertops and a Thermador range. This space flows into a dining area and a living room anchored by a gas fireplace. A covered front porch with white columns leads to the main level, which includes a primary suite with direct access to the pool.

The upper floor contains pine flooring and multiple guest bedrooms. One suite includes a private en-suite bath. A secondary den features barn doors and a mahogany balcony overlooking the water. The outdoor amenities include a large gunite saltwater pool on an elevated patio. A brick-clad spa sits on a stone terrace, with steps leading down to a lawn that reaches the water. The property also holds an unfinished bonus room above the attached two-car garage.

Morabito described the home as an understated and clean example of a Quogue new build. He stated the sale reflects a shift in buyer perception for the neighborhood. Areas once considered less expensive are now commanding premium prices for privacy and waterfront access. The sale of 43 Old Main Road stands as the new price ceiling for properties in this specific zone.
