About this property

Seize the opportunity to own one of East Hampton Village's most significant estates, the renowned J. D. Voorhees House, an extraordinary legacy property featured in East Hampton's Heritage Book by Robert A.M. Stern, Robert Hefner, and Clay Lancaster. This striking residence seamlessly blends architectural distinction, timeless elegance, and an unrivaled Village location overlooking Hook Pond and the Maidstone Club on more than 1.7 lush acres. Designed by noted East Hampton architect John Custis Lawrence and constructed between 1912 and 1913 by master builder Edward M. Gay, the home was commissioned for Dr. James Ditmars Voorhees, a prominent New York physician, and his wife Louise Brown, daughter of Samuel Q Brown of Tidewater Oil Company. Throughout the early twentieth century, the estate became a centerpiece of East Hampton's celebrated summer colony, hosting elegant concerts, charitable fundraisers, and society gatherings that contributed to the cultural fabric of the Village. Distinct from the cedar-shingled architecture that defines much of East Hampton, the JD Voorhees house was intentionally designed with clean lines and a stucco exterior inspired by European coastline homes. Nestled on more than 1.7 private acres surrounded by mature plantings, this home offers approximately 7,000 square feet of living space with ten bedrooms including three summer bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths. The gracious floor plan with elevated ceilings is equally suited for grand-scale entertaining or relaxed family living. A dramatic entry foyer opens to beautifully proportioned formal rooms, including an expansive living room with fireplace, a welcoming family room with billiards area, and a covered terrace overlooking the rear grounds. The formal dining room with fireplace connects to a spacious kitchen with butler's pantry, rear porch, and large laundry and storage room. The glass enclosed eastern facing breakfast room overlooks expansive rolling lawns. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with sitting room and private office/bedroom with bath, five additional guest bedrooms, three baths, and an enclosed western sunporch. A separate north wing offers three additional summer bedrooms and a full bath, providing ideal accommodations for guests, extended family, or staff. In addition there is a two car garage that has two adjacent rooms with a bathroom and there is a separate storage structure. Lovingly maintained by the same family for more than eighty years, this exceptional estate represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of East Hampton history. It also offers the flexibility for a new owner to either renovate or build new. Located just moments from the Village's boutiques, restaurants, galleries, Guild Hall, the East Hampton Library, Town Pond, as well as world-renowned ocean beaches, the J. D. Voorhees House is convenient to all in one of the Hamptons most coveted addresses.
