Welcome to this classic South Hampton brick bungalow, a property that has not been available to the market in decades. Rich in history and architectural detail, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a unique combination of timeless character and thoughtful updates.
Step inside and be greeted by original wood floors, distinctive architectural doorways, leaded glass windows, plantation shutters, and historic woodwork that speaks to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The updated kitchen blends style and convenience, featuring modern finishes while maintaining harmony with the home’s vintage design.
The main level provides comfortable living with spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, the finished lower level includes a flexible bonus space with an ensuite bath that could serve as a guest room, hobby room, or den. The expansive attic offers even more possibilities — ideal for finishing into an office, playroom, studio, or creative retreat. The opportunities are only limited by your imagination.
Outdoor living is equally inviting. A large front porch welcomes you home and offers a perfect spot to relax. The enclosed back porch opens to a private patio and fenced backyard, creating a versatile setting for gatherings, gardening, or quiet enjoyment. A 2-car garage provides convenient parking and storage.
This home is situated on a charming tree-lined street in the sought-after South Hampton neighborhood. Known for its well-established community feel, this area offers easy access to highways, shopping, parks, and an array of dining options. Local favorites like Salt-N-Smoke BBQ are just steps away, adding to the everyday convenience of this location.
Additional highlights include newer windows, well-maintained systems, and the rare opportunity to own a historic brick bungalow with space to grow. Whether you are drawn to the architectural beauty, the potential of the attic and lower-level spaces, or the central location, this home delivers on every level.
Don’t miss your chance to be the next steward of this special South Hampton residence — homes like this are rarely available.
