About This Home
A rare and compelling opportunity to create a private Hamptons estate in one of Wainscott's most coveted and serene locations. Set on approximately one-third of an acre and discreetly positioned between larger estate holdings, this property offers exceptional potential for transformation, expansion, and long-term value. The existing Victorian cottage is rich in character and surrounded by mature specimen trees, established perennial gardens, and winding paths that evoke a timeless, almost storybook setting. Located less than a mile from Beach Lane and some of the area's most pristine ocean beaches, the property seamlessly blends privacy, charm, and proximity. Offered for the first time in over three decades, the residence presents a unique canvas for the discerning buyer. With the ability to refurbish and expand the current structure to approximately 2,500 square feet, as well as incorporate a pool (subject to approvals), the opportunity exists to reimagine the property into a refined Hamptons retreat. The current home features two bedrooms, one bath, a full basement, attic, and a gracious front parlor and porch. Preserved in largely original condition, it is being offered "as is" and invites a visionary approach to restoration or redevelopment. This is a property defined by location, privacy, and untapped potential-an exceptional offering for those seeking to create something truly special in the Hamptons.
