Hamptons' Oldest Home on Wheels Hits the Market

Sag Harbor's historic home returns to market, boasting nearly 350 years of storied past.

A
piece of history has hit the market in Sag Harbor, with a $2.75 million price tag and a rich past that spans nearly 350 years. The two-bedroom cottage at 64 Union St. is believed to be one of the oldest homes in the Hamptons, dating back to circa 1693.

    Despite its modest size of 1,450 square feet, this colonial relic offers a rare chance to own a piece of history within walking distance of Sag Harbor's bustling Main Street. The home has been carefully preserved to maintain its original charm, with features like wide-plank floors and exposed ceiling beams in the living and dining rooms.

    The property has had a nomadic past, having been moved from its original location in Sagaponack at least five times before settling into its current spot. However, it still retains clear signs of its 17th-century origins. The home has also evolved over time, with modern updates like a country-style kitchen and a study that can be transformed into another room or bedroom.

    The property includes more than just the main house, with a separate climate-controlled studio structure offering additional living space. The current owner has even begun the process of applying for a pool permit, adding to the home's appeal for summer buyers. With three full bathrooms across the main house and studio, this historic gem is ready for its next chapter.

    Located on 0.17 acres, the property offers stunning views of the manicured backyard and Sag Harbor's church spires beyond. A short two-minute stroll leads directly to the town's restaurants, theaters, boutiques, and bayfront beaches, making it an ideal location for those who want to be in the heart of the action.
