The Former President of J.Crew Relists His Renovated Hamptons Retreat for $6.8 Million
In July of 2018, real estate broker David Granville and his partner Jeffrey Pfeifle, a retired fashion exec who once served as the president of J.Crew, hoisted their longtime Hamptons home onto the market for $5.9 million. The listing was later taken down, and now the couple is attempting to sell their Water Mill residence for a second time, and now they’re asking a cool $6.75 million for the sumptuous pad.
Granville and Pfeifle acquired the property at 204 Upper Seven Ponds Road back in 2008 for $4.3 million and gave the place a maximalist redesign. The shingle-style home was originally built in 2003 and features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms in a generous 6,000 square feet of living space. “This estate truly offers the best of luxury living and high style in the Hamptons,” notes the listing, which is being repped by Granville, in addition to his Corcoran colleague Mala Sander.

The duo’s Long Island oasis sits on just shy of three acres of land. The grounds are complete with a gated entrance, a dramatic long driveway, and an apple orchard. There’s even potential to add a tennis court, too. Once inside the main house, you’ll notice the digs are an eclectic mash-up of Nantucket and Palm Beach styles. First, you’re welcomed by a grand foyer and great room. The latter is decked out with soaring cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a cozy fireplace. There’s another fire feature in the den as well, plus a full bar and coffered ceilings.
Elsewhere, the kitchen is any chef’s dream, equipped with granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances. And when it’s time to turn in, the primary suite privately occupies its own wing on the first floor with dual bathrooms and a dedicated sitting area.
Outside, the estate is surrounded by lush gardens, rolling lawns, and decorative fountains. There are plenty of green spaces to hang by or for entertaining, including a sprawling covered deck that can seat up to 30 guests comfortably. There’s also a 50-foot-long swimming pool, a chic cabana, a pool house, and an outbuilding that’s currently configured as a gym.
Over the years, Granville and Pfeifle have listed their home for rent at a rate of $110,000 from August to Labor Day, a relative bargain compared to a newly built home in the Water Mill area that was asking $1.2 million for the Memorial Day to Labor Day summer season or $1 million from July to Labor Day, a steep amount that tracks with the current Hamptons rental market.
