About This Home
Introducing the 1902 Merrick Hand House-an architecturally significant residence crafted by Henry Leek-set on a deep and rare .63-acre parcel in the heart of Amagansett. With its historic designation, the home's iconic front façade must be preserved, while permitted expansion and renovation provide an exceptional opportunity to blend timeless character with modern luxury. The first floor features a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, a kitchen, and an ensuite bedroom. A curved staircase with a beautifully crafted handrail leads to the second floor, where three bedrooms share a hall bath, and a legal third floor offers additional space for storage or future customization. Outside, the property includes a pre-existing non-conforming garage and shed. Set further back is a gunite heated pool, surrounded by ample space to create a generous lawn or expanded outdoor living areas. With the ability to build up to 3,435 square feet, the potential to put a personal stamp here is extraordinary. Located south of the highway and just moments from Atlantic Avenue Beach, this offering sits in one of Amagansett's most coveted locations. Amber Waves Farm, the train, the Jitney, and the village's shops and restaurants are all just seconds away-making this historic estate a rare opportunity to create a bespoke Hamptons retreat.
