Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and a pal of President Donald Trump, recently plunked down a cool $90,000 to spend four nights in the Hamptons. Kraft’s rental of choice was this home (shown above) at 47 Crescent Ave. in Water Mill.
The Farrell Building Co.-designed spread is on the market for $15.99 million, just down the road from billionaire Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman — who also has ties to The Donald as an adviser — and Pete Peterson, the former secretary of commerce under President Richard Nixon and fellow Blackstone co-founding billionaire.
While Kraft’s pal Trump is slated to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, Kraft has his own Russian mission under his belt.
During a 2005 trip with Sandy Weill (among others), the two met with Putin, who tried on Kraft’s diamond-encrusted, $25,000-plus Super Bowl ring — and never returned it.
Well, at least Kraft’s crash pad wasn’t stolen from him. It measures a luxurious 8,600 square feet, with 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a 50-foot pool, a two-story pool house and a sunken tennis court — all bordering a 34-acre reserve by Mecox Bay.
Inside, the home features walls of glass, and a dramatic double-height foyer with white oak floors.
There’s also a chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a spacious great room, and a formal living room with coffered ceilings and fireplaces. Glass doors lead to the outdoor entertaining spaces.
The property additionally boasts lower-level suites for staff or guests, along with a gym, a home theater with stadium seating, a wine cellar and lots of storage.
