Big Reveal: $1.275M for a charming pondfront cottage in Southampton

On Tuesday, we had readers guess what a charming 1,000-square-foot cottage with pond frontage in north-of-the-highway Southampton was listed for after recently hitting the market.

When we checked in on the poll yesterday, it looked like nearly half of the votes were guessing that the home was listed for somewhere between $800,000 and $1 million, but seeing the final poll this morning, the most-voted category was between $1 million and $1.5 million—which is correct. The 1932 home is listed for $1,275,000 under Saunders Real Estate agent, Nancy Mizrahi.

In just 1,000 square feet, there are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the interiors include hardwood floors, beamed cathedral ceilings, a brick fireplace, and French doors that lead to the waterview deck outside.

Unfortunately the property doesn’t have enough space for a pool, but there are plenty of people who would take private pond frontage over a pool any day.

Back in 2005, the tiny 0.15-acre property sold for $795,000 and was then listed for sale in 2011 for $1,295,000—which is higher than it’s listed for now, seven years later. It was also available to rent in between then and now.
