The storied halls of Grey Gardens, once inhabited by Big and Little Edie Beale — relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — was immortalized in the 1975 Maysles Brothers' documentary. The Beales lived in Grey Gardens amidst remarkable squalor, a poignant contrast to their aristocratic heritage. In a state of near ruin, the house was saved and lovingly restored by the late Ben Bradlee and his wife, Sally Quinn.
Now, Liz Lange and her husband have breathed new life into this historic home, preserving its unique charm and flow while modernizing it for contemporary living since they bought it in 2017. And today on Homeworthy, she’s touring us through the remarkable property while sharing insights into the meticulous and extensive restoration process.
The gardens of Grey Gardens, revived by landscape architect Deborah Nevins, blend new plantings with the restoration of historic elements – including the enchanting walled garden, pergola, and thatched garden hut – to enhance the property’s magical atmosphere and offer serene outdoor living spaces that honor its storied past.

Jackie and Lee were her fasion inspo's. I was thinking more on the lines of Mrs. ROPER!!😂
-
Given Little Edie's love of fashion, I think she'd approve of Liz owning the house! I certainly do. I admire her dedication to restoring it and adding so much color and personality.
-
Love the structure and the outdoors. Not crazy about deco and colours which for me are a bit overwhelming. But to each his own. Appreciate the opportunity to view this iconic home.
-
Thank you Liz for being uniquely eclectic and for supporting artists. The house is incredible and the paintings and sculpture fabulous.
-
What a beautiful house, full of history, whimsy colors, magical gardens and a chic and friendly hostess....and that dress, cherry on top!
-
The outside is lovely, and the gardens themselves. The inside I find mostly pretty gaudy and tacky, but with the occasional nice bit amongst the tasteless parts. Reminds me of TK/TJ Maxx - sometimes less is more, but hey it’s her house and should be what makes her happy.
-
Liz; Thanks so much for the tour ! Love how the entire home and property has been brought back to life in a way that matches the vibrancy of the new owners. From the minute you step into the foyer, you just know that you're going to have a great time at this house party !
-
The exterior of the home and gardens are spectacular.
-
Liz said they wanted to bring the house back to it's golden age which was between 1900-1950 and the decor and designs she used were spot on! Leopard print, bamboo, oriental accents, cane, wicker, and all the midcentury modern pieces she uses bring this house back beautifully. And as a fellow tablescape lover, the storage areas she had for her candles and tablescape supplies had me envious!

If anxiety had a name

We need more Liz Lange’s in the world restoring and preserving beauty and history for future generations. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻♥️
-
Beautiful home. I love that it is reflects the owner's personality. I appreciate people so graciously opening their homes. 😊
-
As a long-time fan of the documentary, I thank you for restoring this wonderful property, Liz. You brought such life and brightness back to Grey Gardens.
-
Who else pressed pause to watch the Big Edie Little Edie documentry? What a story. Reminded me of We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
-
The exterior and the grounds are unimpeachable. The interior is exhausting and frantic. It’s definitely giving new money vibes.
-
I don’t know Grey Gardens like others who have commented but that home is one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever seen. I love the thoughtful and respectful restoration, the commitment to keeping the important things and of course, the amazing gardens. Thank you for this excellent presentation.
-
I must say this was the most intriguing home and garden tour! Liz was a bundle of joy and energy as she took us along her home journey! Thank you for the history and explaining how you came about the decor you chose. What a delight! Good for you and your husband, wishing you both many happy years in GG❤

I absolutely loved this home and the owner. She did a fabulous job restoring this home while also injecting fun and whimsy.
-
The outside and gardens look beautiful. Not a fan of the indoor decorating but everyone has to make their home what makes them happy.
-
The exterior is lovely, but interior needs a lot of editing. Just way too much going on.
