Built long before the area became synonymous with posh summering and high society, this home believed to be the oldest house in the Hamptons has once again come to the market—this time for $2.69 million, a $470,000 increase from its sale in 2022, per public records. Dating back to 1693, the Sag Harbor cottage has remained remarkably faithful to its historic roots, even as the East End has evolved into a symbol of glamour with diverse architecture.
Spanning 1,450 square feet, the antique Colonial shows its age gracefully with exposed beams, wide plank floors, and cozy yet bright rooms. Adding to its character, the structure has actually been moved five times in its 330-year past, clearly bringing its charm with it. Of course, thoughtful updates have also brought it into the present. A country-style kitchen equipped with top-tier appliances sits beneath rustic ceiling beams while a skylight floods the room with sunshine. Wandering further, there’s an elegant balance of preservation and evolution throughout.
Though it’s not the biggest home on the block, 64 Union Street is small but mighty. It comfortably holds two bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering an intimate yet functional layout. In fact, the modest size and flowing rooms create a sense of warmth and livability that Hamptons mansions simply can’t rival, delivering all the the cottagecore vibes. The house is also just a short stroll from Sag Harbor’s Main Street, with a lively mix of shops, restaurants, and waterfront activity.
