Alec Baldwin participated in a real estate video to entice potential buyers looking to snag his $19 million Hamptons property.
The “30 Rock” actor chatted about his roots in the popular New York City getaway destination while walking on the beach and giving a brief outdoors tour of his home up for sale.
Baldwin explained that he bounced around from several different properties since 1982. He added that he has fond memories from when he was “younger” and would “sleep all morning and lay on the beach” all day.
“This place is the best,” he whispered to the camera.
Prior to purchasing his most current property, Baldwin said he bought his “first house” in the area on Montauk Highway and lived there for “about seven or eight years.”
The camera then panned to the Emmy winner, 65, standing outside of his $19 million estate in Amagansett, NY.
“I bought this house back in 1995,” he began while standing outside of the massive home. “I put this addition on the eastern side of the property in 1996, and my wife, Hilaria, and I built this addition on the western side of the property in 2014.”

The video included several aerial shots of the white modern farmhouse and the luscious green lawns surrounding it.
“I fell in love with this place the moment I came here,” he continued, reiterating that he’s “always loved it here.”
Baldwin wrapped up the video by gushing about how he’s “happiest” when he stays at the property, especially in the “peaceful” and “beautiful” wintertime.
The 10,000-square-foot home features five bedrooms, a wine tasting room, wooden library, sunroom, large dining room and movie theater, among other amenities, according to the listing.
The estate also has plenty of outdoor spaces, including a large pool, hot tub, screened-in porch, covered pavilion, vegetable garden and balconies adjoined to a few of the bedrooms.
The “Departed” actor has been working on selling the property since September 2022 when he listed it for $10 million more, totalling a whopping $29 million at the time.
Baldwin first listed the property after he and his wife purchased a $1.75 million farm in Vermont in February 2022, according to real estate records obtained by The Post at the time.
HALIFAX – A village of tiny homes is set to open next month in a Halifax suburb, the latest project by the provincial government to address homelessness.
Located in Lower Sackville, N.S., the tiny home community will house up to 34 people when the first 26 units open Nov. 4.
Another 35 people are scheduled to move in when construction on another 29 units should be complete in December, under a partnership between the province, the Halifax Regional Municipality, United Way Halifax, The Shaw Group and Dexter Construction.
The province invested $9.4 million to build the village and will contribute $935,000 annually for operating costs.
Residents have been chosen from a list of people experiencing homelessness maintained by the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia.
They will pay rent that is tied to their income for a unit that is fully furnished with a private bathroom, shower and a kitchen equipped with a cooktop, small fridge and microwave.
The Atlantic Community Shelters Society will also provide support to residents, ranging from counselling and mental health supports to employment and educational services.

VANCOUVER – Voters along the south coast of British Columbia who have not cast their ballots yet will have to contend with heavy rain and high winds from an incoming atmospheric river weather system on election day.
Environment Canada says the weather system will bring prolonged heavy rain to Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, Fraser Valley, Howe Sound, Whistler and Vancouver Island starting Friday.
The agency says strong winds with gusts up to 80 kilometres an hour will also develop on Saturday — the day thousands are expected to go to the polls across B.C. — in parts of Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver.
Wednesday was the last day for advance voting, which started on Oct. 10.
More than 180,000 voters cast their votes Wednesday — the most ever on an advance voting day in B.C., beating the record set just days earlier on Oct. 10 of more than 170,000 votes.
Environment Canada says voters in the area of the atmospheric river can expect around 70 millimetres of precipitation generally and up to 100 millimetres along the coastal mountains, while parts of Vancouver Island could see as much as 200 millimetres of rainfall for the weekend.
An atmospheric river system in November 2021 created severe flooding and landslides that at one point severed most rail links between Vancouver’s port and the rest of Canada while inundating communities in the Fraser Valley and B.C. Interior.
