Two houses positioned just one block from Main Streets' American Hotel and the famous Sag Harbor Superyacht docks; 25 Rector Street offers an exceptionally rare and legal multi-family configuration. Comprising two character-rich structures-The Whaler's Cottage and The Artist's Retreat-the property benefits from a highly coveted, pre-existing non-conforming status, making it an incredibly unique find in the heart of Sag Harbor Village. Steeped in heritage, the one and a half bedroom Whaler's Cottage anchors the eastern portion of the property and dates back to the mid-1800s as a whaling industry supply building. Directly adjacent on the western side sits the one bedroom Artist's Retreat, which was beautifully renovated in 2016 and features an enchanting studio-turned-bedroom. A massive 1500 sq ft brick patio flows from the kitchen's French doors, and offers a spacious finished area for outdoor dining and relaxation. The property has a rich artistic legacy, which is only matched by its incredible future potential. Because the property is not on the list of the Village's inventory of historically significant structures, it allows more freedom to make the house your own. For those seeking multi-generational living, an irreplaceable location, and unrepeatable history- this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
