Inside the Home Where Susan Lucci’s Husband, Whom She Was with for 52 Years until His Death, Left Her a Gift in the Form of Wall Decor
The television star shared that her husband’s gift for their home left her stunned. Step inside the couple’s residence, nestled between the bay and the ocean.
Susan Lucci and her husband, Helmut Huber, first said “I do” in 1969. As her showbiz journey began to take shape around that time, Lucci initially had her sights on Manhattan. But in the early 1970s, not long after their wedding, it was Huber who proposed a move to Garden City instead.
At the time, the couple lived in a Forest Hills apartment in Queens. Huber, who hails from the Austrian Alps, once said that the “Garden City is beautiful,” and she had to admit, in the end, that he was right.
Though she had grown up there, the actress once saw the town through a different lens. Lucci shared that Garden City was a multigenerational town, though she never imagined it would be a place she would remain.
Her perspective eventually changed — not just about Garden City, but about settling into a space that felt truly like home. In the village of Quogue, Lucci and Huber found just that.
Nestled between the bay and the ocean, their expansive estate, named “Four Winds,” rests on 1.4 acres with 160 feet of ocean frontage. Spanning 10,622 square feet, the home was completed in 1989, designed by Eugene Futterman with help from Peter Cook and Eric Woodward.
Balconies and decks were thoughtfully crafted to capture sweeping ocean views. Inside, the residence includes seven bedrooms, seven full baths, and a half bath.
In 2016, she welcomed “Open House TV” into the couple’s Quogue retreat. From the outside, the home’s classic shingle style and sprawling footprint blend effortlessly into its natural surroundings.
Inside, the appeal carries through with black-and-white marble flooring, high ceilings, and a spacious dining area bordered by French doors that welcome the ocean breeze.
The living room, awash in soft pastels, features oversized windows and a white fireplace crowned by elegant sconces and a coastal painting.
A delicate chandelier hangs beneath a sky-painted ceiling above a curved staircase. During the tour, Lucci shared the story behind the hand-painted mural on the ceiling — a surprise arranged by her husband while she was away filming.
Upon returning, she discovered the sky-themed artwork above her, a gesture that caught her completely off guard. “He took my breath away,” she said. The mural was just the beginning — the rest of the home carried its own charm through carefully chosen details.
In the formal dining area of the couple’s home, a round wooden table sits beneath a black iron chandelier, while tall double doors allow in natural light.
Checkerboard marble floors stretch across a hallway lined with green paneling and decorative sconces, guiding guests toward quieter corners of the home.
One of the standout features is the library with curved seating and patterned cushions beneath an antler-inspired chandelier. The space, which Lucci described as the “cozy room,” features a fireplace.
Not far from the spacious room, a wide wooden deck is set up with white patio furniture, overlooking the surrounding greenery.
Upstairs, the dressing room includes a vanity framed by lightbulbs and surrounded by soft tones and plush stools. The bedroom offers pastel furnishings with medium-sized windows that bring in plenty of sunlight.
Above the bed, soft vines and ribbons are hand-painted across the upper walls, adding a delicate touch to the cream backdrop. The pale curtains and light bedding create an airy atmosphere, while the placement of chairs near the windows suggests a quiet corner for rest or reading.
Another view of the bedroom shows a deep teal headboard that anchors the room, framed by elegant side tables and matching lamps.
