A shingle-style home once owned by the Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein has hit the market at $4.39 million.
The residence, at 65 Wooley Street in Southampton, New York, was constructed in 1916 and boasts three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room across two floors, as well as an adjoining studio.

It was placed on the market by figurative and abstract artist Paul Waldman and his wife Diane Waldman, an art historian and the former deputy director and senior curator of the Guggenheim Museum.
The Waldmans purchased the property with Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein as a summer retreat in 1968. Together, they built a separate outbuilding as a studio and additional living quarters. The Waldmans bought out Lichtenstein’s shares in 1970 and kept the home. Diane subsequently used that outbuilding as a writing studio.
Over the years, the Waldmans hosted a number of notable art world figures including painter and sculptor Ellsworth Kelly, dealer Leo Castelli, and Guggenheim director Thomas Messer.
A selection of antiques and treasures, including teak shutters imported from India and a collection of Indian miniatures, fill the home. Bennington pottery has also long been on view there.
Additionally, Waldman planted an English garden in the backyard of the home with ceramic birdhouses that he made himself.
