Elie Tahari is still seeking for a buyer for his refurbished oceanfront estate in the Hamptons. After listing the 4,500-square-foot home two years ago for nearly $45 million, the Israeli fashion designer just put it back on the market, shaving $6 million off the original asking price.

The double-height living/dining room was designed by Tom Flynn. The voluminous space features exposed beams and rafters.

Located in the Southampton village of Sagaponack, the three-bedroom, three-bath residence rests on a verdant two-acre lot and comes with a private expanse of beach. Inside, the home’s main living spaces center around a large, barn-like family room, complete with 30-foot-high vaulted ceilings. Two sets of roll-up, glass Tambour doors frame views of the pool and a mature grove of Russian olive trees.

A long wooden table in the formal dining area can easily accommodate 12 guests. Bespoke cabinets and shelves provide storage space underneath the staircase.
