Want to buy Madoff’s beach house?

The hottest spot in the Hamptons last weekend was not a sceney club, but rather Bernard Madoff’s old beach house, which is now up for sale for $8.75 million, writes the Times' Allen Salkin:

The United States Marshals Service, which is overseeing the sale of the house to benefit victims of Mr. Madoff’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme, has gamely taken on the role of real estate promoter. A marshal in a blue windbreaker offers a videotaped tour that was released to the news media during which he extols, in a “just the facts, ma’am” monotone, the property’s “panoramic ocean view,” and the master bedroom with an exercise bike, “where Bernard and Ruth Madoff lived when they were here in Montauk.”

Take a look inside the house here.

Or take a video tour of the house here.

The house has drawn considerable interest, Salkin writes.

Soon for sale? Bernard's Upper East Side penthouse and his Palm Beach estate.
