Gwen Verdon's Former Home, A Lifesaving Station in Quogue
The final home of Broadway and dance legend Gwen Verdon is on the market for $8.95 million in Quogue. The 1.1-acre former U.S. Lifesaving Station, located at 84 Dune Road and listed with Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman, comes with 150 feet of oceanfront, a detached bungalow, a heated Gunite pool, a catwalk to the sandy beach, an outdoor shower, wrap-around mahogany porch, and lots of history.
It was originally built in 1870 and it was used as the Quogue Lifesaving Station until 1915, the five-bedroom, three-bath property was owned by Ms. Verdon until 2000. Updated and renovated with careful attention, details that have been saved and incorporated include the original "U.S. Life Saving Station" sign, a boat room, original flooring, and other woodwork, and memorabilia including surfboat designs and antique uniform buttons.
Ms. Verdon's life story was recently made into the miniseries "Fosse/Verdon" starring Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell. It was credited as "the best dancer to ever brighten Broadway," the four-time Tony Award-winner memorably portrayed Lola in "Damn Yankees," Roxie Hart in "Chicago" and the title role in "Sweet Charity."
