The circa-1745 Abraham Baker House, once the home of the Riding Club of East Hampton, has sold for $1.6 million after last asking $1.75 million.
The historic shingle-style house at 9 Cross Highway falls under East Hampton Town’s “special historic landmark” designation, which means the new owner has the opportunity to build a second dwelling on the 0.9-acre property abutting the East Hampton Village estate section. The law is designed to encourage the preservation and restoration of historic houses while allowing homeowners to use a property to its full potential.
The south-of-the-highway property is actually split between East Hampton Village and the unincorporated area of the town, Douglas Elliman Real Estate noted.
The 2,000-square-foot house has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two fireplaces, and wide-plank floors.
Dawn Watson and Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman had the listing. Kathy Zappola and Scott Strough of Compass brought the buyer.
In early 2020, the property was listed with another agency for $2.29 million.
