19 16th Street, East Hampton

Lots of potential / 2 Bedrooms / 1 Bath / .18 Acres / $985,000

Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Springs, this reimagined one-story home is an oasis that offers a rare kind of Hamptons living: bright, easy, and carefree. Spend relaxed mornings in an airy living space with exposed beams, painted hardwood floors, charming built-in bookcases, filled with natural light. Enjoy your coffee in a newly updated kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, brass hardware, and an enamel artist’s sink overlooking the spacious backyard. A renovated full bath with penny tile flooring and brushed nickel fixtures adds a crisp, classic note. The home blends the best of its vintage cottage charm with intentional and modern updates, making it feel both lived in and new at the same time. This home is the perfect launching pad for your beachy adventures. Just minutes from the famed Gerard Drive beaches, the Pollock Krasner house, dozens of hiking trails, Round Swamp Farm, S&S Coffee Shop, and the Springs Farmers’ Market. Perfectly sited, equidistant from from all that East Hampton and Amagansett offer all year round. The cottage is nestled on a shy quarter acre, with a newly fenced and irrigated yard, uncluttered, lush and private-ideal for flower gardens, growing tomatoes and hosting late afternoon grills. There’s ample room for a custom pool or spa with tailored hardscaping. An exterior-accessed basement with laundry offers additional storage, flexibility, and plenty of space for surfboards, bikes, and beach gear. Recently updated with new central air conditioning and heating, a new roof, new well, and upgraded mechanicals, this home has a recently issued Certificate of Occupancy for immediate enjoyment and headache-free ownership. Whether you’re a first-time Hamptons homeowner, looking for expansion potential, or seeking rental income (with a strong track record), this is a compelling property with enduring value in a location rich in history, nature, and quiet beauty.
