This house has quite the storied past: Its former owners were the Washington Post’s Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn (who later went on to buy perhaps the most infamous house in the Hamptons—Grey Gardens). Simply put, it’s a classic. The traditional farmhouse touches indoors and massive swimming pool don’t hurt its charm, either.
