Finding a New Real Estate Marketing Angle: Making a Movie

Kristin Regan is not your typical Hamptons real estate agent. She likes to think outside the box when representing her listings. We sat down with her on the Saunders & Associates’ “Happening in the Hamptons” podcast, which we release weekly, and we were stunned to discover that Kristin managed to feature her exquisite listing at 2622 Deerfield Road in Sag Harbor, in a full-length movie titled “The Premiere,” directed by Sam Pezzullo. Remarkably, not only is the property featured in the movie, but Kristin also plays a role in it.

“I have zero acting experience,” Kristin said with a laugh. “But my friend was making this movie and needed a beautiful Hamptons home for a specific scene, and he also needed someone to portray a real estate agent. Needless to say, I was very nervous during the shoot.”

Aside from acting in the feature film to help promote the property, Kristin is very enthusiastic about it. The house is located off Deerfield Road at 2622 Deerfield Road in Sag Harbor and is nothing short of stunning. Perched high on a hill, it has undergone a down-to-the-studs renovation that gives it the feel of a newly constructed home. “Every facet of this house has been updated. Everything, right down to the studs.”

One of the home’s best features is an outdoor deck that overlooks the private tennis court, offering a unique perspective that essentially allows you to watch an entire match from above. The spacious open kitchen, anchored by a striking Fior Di Bosco Italian marble center island with an integrated sink, includes a custom-embedded bar, two dishwashers, wine storage, and an attached butler’s pantry. This space flows seamlessly into a magnificent three-season room with a custom stone fireplace, which opens up to the mahogany deck and the built-in outdoor kitchen. Arched thresholds between the vaulted ceilings divide the open-concept great room, dining area, living room, and the spectacular dual-sided marble and hand-plastered fireplace without closing them off. Filled with natural light, the first-floor primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, a luxurious travertine bath, and sliders to a private poolside patio.
