Tour a 19th-Century Charmer in the Heart of Southampton Listed for the First Time in Decades

In the debate of which Hamptons town is best, Southampton (settled in 1640 and incorporated in 1894) is always a top contender. Historic, verdant, beachy, and full of beloved high-end destinations, it checks every box for the Hamptons experience. So, people who own homes there have good reason to stay. That point is made clear with this circa-1891 listing, which is now on the market for the first time in 30 years seeking $12.9 million.

Walkable to both the heart of Southampton Village and sun-kissed beaches, this property seems like the full package–offering spacious rooms for entertaining, luxe amenities, and dainty architectural charm. The 19th-century home still pays homage to its original character with welcoming Dutch doors, wide-plank wood floors, antique details, and large porches and patios. For year-round hosting, the bright, chef-inspired kitchen is flooded with natural light and there are six bedrooms for overnight guests.

Beyond this main residence, the grounds also feature an endearing guest cottage, complete with one bedroom, two bathrooms, and a warm, inviting living area. The pool, tennis court, and 1.23 acres of manicured landscape will especially appeal in the summertime when the Hamptons is buzzing with activity.

A rare listing for buyers with deep pockets seeking something special out East, is up for sale with Michaela Keszler and Paulina Keszler with Sotheby’s International Realty.
