SOLD ~ Just east of the iconic Town Pond and cherished Guild Hall there exists a magical 1.5-acre parcel affording 3 legal dwellings, a detached garage, an original outhouse, lush gardens and an expansive lawn. Hidden beyond its classic white picket fence is this secret compound, south of the highway and in the heart of the Main Street Historic District of East Hampton. The main residence is known as the Frank Cartwright house. A three story Victorian Farmhouse, c.1885, perfectly set back from the sidewalk and beckoning passersby with its welcoming wraparound front porch. The entry hall of the main home boasts its original staircase and time worn pine floors leading you to the adjacent Parlor with wood burning fireplace and then to the spacious dining room with intimate library nook. Prepare for a summer social in the updated, country kitchen with stainless appliances, custom cabinetry and Calcutta Gold Marble countertops. At the back of the house is the first floor master suite with cathedral ceiling and French doors opening to the brick patio and perennial gardens. Second floor offers 3 bedroom suites, plus an office and the third floor; an arts and crafts room, multifunctional recreation space and storage closets. Embrace the outdoors and meander to the back of the property guided by a graceful row of Pee Gee Hydrangea trees, pass the garage and then you come upon Guest Cottage A, the icehouse in its early days. This cottage is one story and adorable. A stylish living space with vaulted ceiling, kitchen, two bedrooms and two baths, plus its own brick patio lined with boxwood. Continue outside, appreciate the repurposed privy and you then arrive at Guest Cottage B. Built in 1908, this dwelling is 1.5 stories, light and bright, also with two bedrooms and two baths, a recently updated kitchen and large main living space with French doors looking out to its brick patio and the south lawn which seems to go on forever. All of the structures and the grounds have been loved and proudly maintained by its present owners, all the while delicately maintaining the charm and historical detail of the property's origin. This enchanting property is a real treasure from the past, a classic in our present and one that will remain timeless for generations to come. Owner/Broker
