Grey Gardens, the once derelict East Hampton home of society outcasts that inspired one of the highest-regarded documentaries of all time is now selling for $17.995 million.
The seller is the journalist Sally Quinn, who bought the 6,000-square-foot, traditional shingle-style summer home in 1979.

Quinn and her husband, the late Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, bought the property just a few years after the film about two society recluses, known as “Big Edie” and “Little Edie,” made their house famous.
The couple originally bought the house for just $220,000 from Edith “Little Edie” Beale, the first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and poured another $600,000 into making it livable again. They also added a pool and a tennis court.
The light-filled home, originally built in 1897, is filled with sunny nooks and crannies that add to the old world charm.
Today the main house has nine bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. There’s also a small cottage on the grounds where Bradlee reportedly wrote one of his books.
