East Hampton Village Fringe Compound - House, Cottage and Pool
A Storybook Piece of History near North Main Street. Tucked into an enchanting setting just moments from North Main Street, part of the original structure is said to date back to the 18th-century. The existing property is a rare blend of historic charm, character, and versatility. The property includes a beautifully preserved two-bedroom, two-bath main residence, a legal one-bedroom guest cottage, and a private pool, all set on approximately .23 acres. The main house is filled with the warmth and character that can only come from centuries of history, featuring wide-plank floors, abundant built-ins, and inviting architectural details throughout. On the first floor is a spacious Great Room with fireplace that provides a natural gathering place, complemented by a separate dining room/den or flexible third bedroom, kitchen, charming mudroom with laundry, and full bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms and another full bath. A full basement with both interior and exterior access adds valuable storage and utility with a brand new Bilco door. Just beyond the main house, the legal one-bedroom guest cottage offers its own living room with fireplace, eat-in kitchen, bedroom and full bath. It's separate living space creates exceptional flexibility-live in the main house while generating rental income from the cottage, or use it as a private retreat for family and friends. For those looking ahead to the summer season, the cottage also offers an attractive option for staff housing, a particularly valuable amenity in the Hamptons. Outside, the magic continues with a private pool framed by a brick surround, creating an idyllic setting for long summer days, entertaining, and relaxed outdoor living. Perhaps most compelling is the property's rarity. Grandfathered under existing Town regulations, this unique configuration could not be recreated under today's requirements. Rarely does a property offer this combination of 18th-century character, a legal guest cottage, pool, flexibility, and an exceptional location so close to North Main Street. Weather envisioned as a full-time residence, a summer escape, a property with income potential, or a home with built-in accommodations for staff, this is a truly special opportunity to own a piece of local history.
