Now on the market for $2.75 million, this 18th century Amagansett house was built by Talmage Barnes VI and sold to a whaling captain named Sylvester Miller, according to Town & Country Real Estate, which is listing the property.
Among the home’s historic elements are two hand-turned columns made by the craftsman Nathaniel Dominy V—which originally were used at the Clinton Academy in East Hampton and possibly salvaged from its porch—as well as a bake oven in the back wall of a fireplace, kitchen cabinets, and stairs. As was the practice in East Hampton’s original homesteads, three fireplaces were strategically placed to heat the house, although it of course has been modernized with a current HVAC system, foundation and basement.
There are four bedrooms, three baths, and two stories for a total of 2,500 square feet. The house sits on 1 acre on Abrahams Landing Road. Judi Desiderio and Drew Smith are the listing agents.
