Condo of the Day: Montauk Club Duplex
It was only recently that we realized that part of the Montauk Club had been converted to condos several years. From what we can piece together, it looks like there are only six residential units, of which this 2,000-square-foot three-bedroom duplex is one. The interiors look pretty nice in a modern way—no evidence though of…
It was only recently that we realized that part of the Montauk Club had been converted to condos several years. From what we can piece together, it looks like there are only six residential units, of which this 2,000-square-foot three-bedroom duplex is one. The interiors look pretty nice in a modern way—no evidence though of any of the hardcore wood paneling that defines the lower floors. And clearly the location and views rock. So how does the $1,545,000 asking price strike you?

When this was purchased the developer picked up the lot and building for a million and managed to bankrupt the project. The lot and basement went to auction and sold for some ridiculously low price. The top rooms never really had much detail from what I understand. They were for club members who needed to sleep it off or something like that. I’ve heard many stories. The developer had brutal taste even when it was done in the 90’s. I also have heard that the building never got a C of O.
I am a certified Hillbilly and I take no offense, you uptight Yankees. Now please get back to saving the children. Please! … Won’t somebody save the children?!
1.5 million for a single APT is insane, no matter what the fracking cabinets look like. When are people going to stop the insanity.
BHS unethical..surely you are joshing!
That’s why they call you barf
It strikes me as hugely insulting.
Hillbilly Ball eh? Sounds very, very welcoming.
If the condo doesn’t thrill you, the Club itself will. The place is hopping, as a result of new management, new chef, and much new, good, press. And the buzz is attracting a slew of attractive, intelligent and downright nice, new members. The Club’s under-35ers, have been hosting well attended cocktail evenings, and the Club’s new Arts Committee has hosted a number of literary and musical events including a blue grass “Hillbilly Ball.”
The 4th and 5th floors were where the hotel rooms were originally. The roof was in significant disrepair for decades and as a result, those floors were totally destroyed.
Only the 3rd floor unit has any original details, as that was the former dining hall. The kitchen was there originally however, so the part of the 3rd floor that was the kitchen was of course gutted.
The club didn’t convert the property to condominium ownership willingly – there was a tax lien and the necessary roof repairs that made them sell out at a ridiculously low price to a predatory developer.
