Historic Village & Architectural Significance.
East Hampton Village is defined by classic shingle-style homes, manicured hedges, and tree-lined lanes that reflect generations of ownership. From Further Lane to Lily Pond Lane, many properties carry architectural and historical importance. At the corner of Main Street and Woods Lane, the Georgian mansion known locally as ‘the White House’ marks the gateway to the village; its early-18th-century core was moved back and expanded in 1907 and rebuilt in the early 1990s. The village offers proximity to boutiques, dining, and beaches while preserving privacy and refinement.
