Mauro Porcini, PepsiCo’s Chief Design Officer and recipient of the 2022 American Prize for Design, has acquired a luxurious six-bedroom modern home in Southampton for a staggering $4.69 million. Collaborating closely with Mazi Holdings, Porcini transformed his dream property into reality at 233 N. Magee St.
The centerpiece of this lavish home is an extraordinary Barbie pink-and-blue tennis court, adding a vibrant touch to the Hamptons space. The 6,500-square-foot residence, designed with meticulous attention to detail, encompasses modern aesthetics and functional areas.
The main floor boasts a light-filled great room featuring a fireplace and double-height ceilings, complemented by a dining room and an eat-in chef’s kitchen, creating an inviting and contemporary living space. A finished basement elevates the home’s offerings, providing amenities such as a gym, media room, and a wine cellar for leisure and entertainment.
One of the standout design elements is a custom-designed pink chandelier by Jacopo Foggini in Italy, gracing a living space that overlooks a library with soaring 19-foot-high ceilings. Porcini’s residence seamlessly blends elegance with functionality, creating an environment that exudes sophistication and comfort.
The outdoor expanse of the property spans 1.84 acres, featuring a pool, the distinctive pink-and-blue tennis court, and an outdoor kitchen complete with an Italian pizza oven. The thoughtful landscaping and design enhance the allure further, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. Priscilla Holloway, a Douglas Elliman broker, facilitated the deal, representing both sides and ensuring a seamless transaction for Porcini’s acquisition.
