FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S LAST RESIDENTIAL DESIGN SOLD AT AUCTION
The Hamptons, located on New York's Long Island, have long been a popular getaway destination for the rich and famous.
Brooks, known for titles like "The Producers" and "Spaceballs," and Bancroft, best known for her roles in movies like "The Graduate" and "The Miracle Worker," only owned this property briefly. But the couple owned at least one other Hamptons property, a 2,000-square-foot beachfront home near Mecox Bay. They bought the house for $3 million in 2000 and Brooks sold it for $5.3 million in 2010, according to Curbed.
