Historic Cottage plus Development Rights

This unique offering presents multiple opportunities to preserve a piece of history and build for the future. The historic Zadoc-Bennett house, originally built in the 1700s, underwent a custom renovation. The entirely new structure that surrounds the preserved original interior framing has transformed the home into a charming two-bedroom cottage. With a nod to a historic aesthetic complemented by modern updates, including a Miele dishwasher, Bertazzoni induction range and chimney hood, Smeg refrigerator, and Reform cabinetry, as well as all bathrooms equipped with Toto washlet bidet seats. This lovely home is accompanied by an updated barn, a newly built poolhouse with a full bath, a 14' x 14' dipping pool, and a work shed with a view of the harbor. The current homestead is designated as a historic landmark. This exclusive designation, with grandfathered 100% lot clearance and 2/3's of the property yet to be developed, enables the creation of a second residence that additionally could accommodate a detached garage, second poolhouse and pool, plus other auxiliary structures, including a tennis court if so desired. The 2.3-acre site that once served as a working farm and a farmstand is a stone's throw away from Three Mile Harborfront and marinas, spectacular beaches on Gadiners Bay and a short drive to pristine Atlantic beaches. Find farmer's markets, restaurants, quaint S&S Corner Shop and the Art Center at Duck Creek, are a few nearby highlights of the community. Consider the vast possibilities for creative endeavors here... an income-generating property, reestablishment of farm and farmstand, and/or an ample verdant private compound. Whichever way you choose to proceed, it is genuinely a rare opportunity that awaits to embrace a part of Hampton's history and future possibilities in this extraordinary setting.
