2 Old Orchard Lane

This modern style home sits on a 1.5 acre lot bordered by reserve and is located just outside the village of East Hampton in the highly desirable neighborhood of Old Orchard. The existing one-story structure was created by award winning designer, architect and author Albert Herbert. It has a mid-century modern aesthetic with simple geometric forms, expansive glass panes, cathedral ceilings, slate floors, and functional built-ins throughout. As designed, the house is 2,454 square feet and includes three bedrooms, and two and a half baths. An oversized pane of glass (replaced in 2024) creates a light filled living room with multiple built-ins, a wood burning fireplace, sliders overlooking the gardens, and a soaring cathedral ceiling with a south facing roof line. There is a library with two walls of bookcases and a north facing wall of glass that not only brings in natural light, but creates a connection between the indoor space and the natural landscape beyond. The dining room also has built-ins, and south facing sliders that continue across the kitchen's breakfast area to access the back deck. There is a screened porch off the kitchen that creates a harmonious relationship with nature as it overlooks the gardens and pool beyond. Additionally, there is a detached two car garage with finished bonus space above. It could be connected to the main house with a breezeway for additional bedroom space, or left as is for use as an office or other purpose. This property will accommodate building coverage of 8,399 square feet, more than double the coverage that exists today. The roof has just been replaced in 2024, and there is plenty of value to be had for the savvy investor who is willing to renovate the rest of this light filled, architecturally significant gem less than two miles from the village. • Existing Building Coverage: 3,641 sq. ft. • Permitted Building Coverage: 8,399 sq. ft. • Existing Total Lot Coverage: 11,291 sq. ft. • Permitted Total Lot Coverage: 26,135 sq. ft • The total Lot Coverage includes Driveway.
