Back when Sagaponack was just a sleepy farming town, residents gathered round at its general store and post office to find out what was going on around town. Sagaponack today, of course, is consistently ranked the priciest zip code in the United States, but it’s still a small town and locals and visitors love to gather at the store, now housing Pierre’s delicious goodies as well as the post office.
Originally built in 1878 and called Chamberlain Bros., the shop has remained in the same family (Hildreth/Thayer) for more than a hundred years. The nostalgic layout and wide plank hardwood flooring add to the charm, and in fact, the building is landmarked. Now the opportunity has arisen to own this iconic building, a piece of the Hamptons the way it used to be. The store, plus its 0.16-acre of land, is available for $3.995 million. Listing agents are Susan Ratcliffe and Christopher Burnside at Brown Harris Stevens.
To what use would you put this building? Personally we’d just insist on the rent including all-we-can-eat tartes flambées.
