SOUTHAMPTON, NY - Hundreds of guests dressed in white, including top names in the East End Real Estate community, as the gathered to see what all the excitement was about 100 Crescent Avenue in Water Mill Saturday night.

They were not disappointed.

Holiday House Hamptons, presented by HC&G, or Hamptons Cottages and Gardens, and hosted by Douglas Elliman Real Estate and Corcoran Real Estate, was unveiled during an opening night white party on Saturday.

The newly built, dramatic 13,000 square foot home overlooking Mecox Bay has a unique full size, classic turf tennis court on the roof.

The "wow" house is listed by Linda Haugevik of Douglas Elliman Real Estate for $17.9 million. Other Hamptons real estate stars attending included Corcoran Group's Gary DePersia and Tim Davis, Halstead Property's Hamptons Director Anthony DeVivio, Gioia DiPaolo and Monica Reiner of Douglas Elliman.

Thanks to the size of the home, there was room for 20 top interior designers to have their own area to showcase their art. The gala benefited the late Evelyn Lauder's Breast Cancer Research Foundation, spearheaded by Iris Dankner and her wonderfully supportive family, the founder of Holiday House Hamptons.
