Hamptons Home Where Ted Ammon Was Murdered Sells For Over $8M

EAST HAMPTON, NY — A home in East Hampton that was the scene of a brutal murder in 2001 has sold for more than $8 million, according to realtor Judi A. Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate.

Earlier this year, news broke that the Manor Lane home where Ted Ammon, a Wall Street multi-millionaire, was murdered by Daniel Pelosi, the lover of his estranged wife, was on the market.

The murder sparked a flurry of media attention, making headlines around the world and leading to a TV movie, "Murder in the Hamptons."

The case rocked the small community and in 2012, a documentary directed by Ammon's son Greg, helped heal broken hearts.

Although held onto the home for many years, twins Greg and Alexa Ammon, children of Ted and his wife Generosa, have decided to sell the house they loved so much, Desiderio told Patch in June.

"I think that it's a time in their lives where they're each going to be having their own residences," Desiderio said. "They're mature adults. Greg is an adult, and married, and Alexa is starting her life in a different place. It was a very heartfelt decision, frankly, because they both love it."

Despite the "love triangle" that attracted so much attention after their father's murder, Desiderio said, "There are a lot of good memories there, and they both love the house — but it's time."

Greg Ammon, who opened his Big Flower flagship store on Newtown Lane last year — the shop has returned again this season — spoke to Patch at the time about his focus on the happy childhood he and his sister cherished in East Hampton, playing on the beach and living in their family estate with their parents.

"My favorite childhood memories revolve around weekends in East Hampton with my family and friends. We'd run around sporting T-shirts that had my father's company's logo on the back… a big sunflower that we proudly wore," Ammon told Patch. "Now that I'm getting married and starting a family of my own, I'm excited to bring the sunflower back to East Hampton and start making great memories all over again."

The house once sported "thousands and thousands of daffodils," Desiderio said. "The grounds are still beautiful, and it's clear that in the beginning, Generosa did quite a lot to make it look like a real English Manor house, which it is."

According to the original listing by Town & Country, "The English Manor style home on famed Middle Lane, in East Hampton's Estate Section is available for the first time. Magnificent gardens, with pond, nestled on a manicured 2.2 lush acres unfolds as you enter through the majestic gates. Just a short distance to the ocean, the Maidstone Club and Main Street shopping.
