Celebrity Real Estate News on the East End: Jason Kidd, Anderson Cooper, Robert Rust

It wasn’t enough that he took his ball and went to Wisconsin, but now Jason Kidd is leaving behind his real estate, too? After disembarking from his coaching job with the Brooklyn Nets to join the Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA legend is selling his Water Mill spread. The 7,800-square-foot house has six bedrooms and a pool, tennis court and basketball court (natch), all on two acres. The asking price is $7.995 million, which includes furnishings. But not everyone is leaving Water Mill, not even if they’re buying in NYC, like…

CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who owns two cottages in Quiogue—but not for long. Cooper’s primary Quiogue residence is 20 St. George Place, on
Aspatuck Creek. Nearly three years ago he bought the neighboring 12 St. George Place, a 2.4-acre property with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, from the estate of On The Waterfront screenwriter Budd Schulberg for $1.7 million. The estate also includes a 20′-by-40′heated gunite pool with jacuzzi, and a pool house with full bath. Cooper renovated the house and quickly put it back on the market for $3 million. He dropped the price recently to $2,599,000. A few months back Cooper bought a new pad in Litchfield, Connecticut. Then in July he listed 20 St. George Place with Morabito. Though 12 St. George has been sitting on the market for a while, 20 St. George was picked up in a snap. The residence went into contract last month. It was listed for $3,199,000, which would also put you in the ballpark for…
