Congress Hall, the 340-year-old Colonial saltbox at 177 Main Street in East Hampton, has gone on the market, offering the rare opportunity to own one of the village’s oldest houses.
The house belonged to members of the Mulford family and was named Congress Hall because it was once home to members of the Mulford family, and it got the name Congress Hall in the 1800s because men of the village would congregate there, historians say.
The original structure from 1680 is said to have been built without a single nail. It was expanded on several times through 1930, and then in 2015 it was lifted off its foundation for a restoration and modernization by builder William Hugo.
Congress Hall last changed changes in 2017 for $3.6 million. Today, it’s listed for $4.5 million.
The 5,500-square-foot residence offers five bedrooms and 5.5 marble bathrooms, a Boffi kitchen, three fireplaces, a lower level with a media/rec room and a playroom.
The half-acre property overlooking the East Hampton green has a wrap-around gunite pool, a covered front porch, a shed/studio and a detached two-car garage with potential as a recreational space.
Enzo Morabito at Douglas Elliman has the listing.
