House proud
Built in 1989, but with old-school classic bones, this John Conner custom-built saltbox-style home features warm, wooden finishes, including tongue and groove ceilings on the first floor.
“This is a charming storybook cottage surrounded by nature,” says Lori Lambert of the Zellman-Lambert team at William Raveis, which is representing the listing. “There’s lots of privacy with extensive gardens and the only thing you hear are the birds.”
What’s the plan?
Upon entering the house, an ensuite bedroom is to the left and to the right are the common rooms in an open format: living and dining room and kitchen and a full bathroom. Upstairs is dedicated to two bedrooms, one with a wall of bookcases, and one full bathroom. The unfinished basement is accessed via Bilco doors and Lambert says it has potential to be finished.
What’s cooking?
The updated kitchen includes wood cabinets topped with quartz counters, a breakfast bar/work station that seats three and new stainless-steel appliances. Sliding doors offer access to the back deck, as well as from the living room.
What else?
The garden is planted with mature specimen trees and, Lambert says, the lot is large enough to add a pool, pool house, tennis court or garage—or even all of them.

Agent’s callout
“Rarely does something with this much property and this close to town come on the market. The potential here is unlimited for expansion and enhancement,” Lambert says. “You can love it as is or do more to make it your own.”
Location, location, location
The home is 1.6 miles from East Hampton Village—what Lambert calls “Village Fringe.” The 16-acre LongHouse Reserve is .5 miles and features extensive flower and sculpture gardens and a full program of events, exhibitions and classes. The Maidstone Club is 2.6 miles away and Two Mile Hollow Beach is 3.1 miles.
