This 1600s home has moved 5 times and is said to be among the oldest in the Hamptons — now it’s for sale

History never looked so homey.

One of the Hamptons’ most storied homes is back on the market — this time with a $2.75 million price tag and nearly 350 years of history baked into its bones.

Set in the heart of Sag Harbor at 64 Union St., the two-bedroom cottage is believed to be among the oldest homes in the Hamptons — if not the oldest there — originally built circa 1693, according to the listing.

Though modest in size at 1,450 square feet, the property offers a rare chance to own a colonial relic within walking distance of the village’s buzzing Main Street.

The dwelling last changed hands in October 2022 for $2.2 million, according to public records.

Now, some three years later, it’s back on the market, represented by Susan Breitenbach of Corcoran.

Its journey to Union Street was anything but static.

Originally constructed in Sagaponack, the house is reported to have been moved no fewer than five times before settling into its current location.

Despite its nomadic past, the structure still bears clear signs of its 17th-century origins — namely the exposed beams and wide-plank floors that define the living and dining rooms.

While its historical integrity has been carefully preserved, the home has also evolved.

There’s a secondary bedroom and a full bathroom on the ground floor, while the primary bedroom suite spans the second story, with large paned windows framing views of the manicured backyard and Sag Harbor’s church spires beyond.

The property includes more than just the main house.

A separate climate-controlled studio structure on the grounds offers additional living space, complete with a full bathroom, radiant-heated brick floors and French doors that open onto the cleared backyard.

The current owner has even begun the process of applying for a pool permit, adding another layer of appeal for summer buyers.
