Southampton Village 1850s Farmhouse Sells For $7.62M

The Wooley House, a designated “contributing resource” in the Southampton Village historic district, recently changed hands for $7.62 million.

At 1 Wooley Street, the classic farmhouse was originally constructed in the 1850s as a two-story, wood-frame Italianate-style structure and was completely rebuilt, expanded and reimagined as a modern Hamptons retreat, according to the Douglas Elliman listing. Preservation and restoration efforts included a reconstructed architectural porch and a double-height foyer with historic beam details.

The renovation included lifting and relocating the structure on the 0.8-acre property, which provided the opportunity to add an 11-foot lower level.

The central entry leads into the large dining room that flows into the newly constructed chef’s kitchen with Ciuffo custom cabinetry, JennAir Smart Technology appliances and Kohler Konnect touchless faucets. The kitchen opens to the expansive living room with a large gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders leading to the backyard. An intimate den, first-floor en suite bedroom and powder room round out the main floor.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite has a spa-inspired bathroom with a steam shower, a freestanding soaker tub and vanity mirrors. Two additional light-flooded en suite guest bedrooms complete the upper level.

The brand new lower level includes a state-of-the-art recreation room with a wet bar, a theater room, two bedrooms, a full bath, an infrared sauna, a wine cellar and an outdoor courtyard.

The outdoor living area offers a wood-burning fireplace, a 20-foot-by-50-foot Gunite pool and freestanding guest house with a full bathroom and an outdoor shower. The driveway can accommodate 14-plus cars.

The seller was Jason Kahn and the new owner is a limited liability company, according to The Real Estate Report Inc.
