House for sale, 21 Hither Lane, in East Hampton, United States

Situated on one of East Hampton's most prestigious streets, 21 Hither Lane embodies the rich traditional heritage of the Hamptons. Known as 'Aunt Phoebe's Saltbox', this historic residence was originally located on Main Street and belonged to John and Phoebe Huntting in the 19th century. Under the supervision of renowned architect Joseph Greenleaf Thorp, the house was moved to Hither Lane in 1926.

Beyond the house sits a two car detached garage and potting shed. Only 23 properties in East Hampton are Timber Frame Historic and protected.
