Olde Town
The intimate community of Olde Towne has maintained its superior qualities since its founding more than 350 years ago as the first settlement area of Southampton. Located just seconds from the ocean, the Olde Towne Association is a picturesque vista of land, surrounded by 10 acres of the adjoining Fowler Nature Preserve as well as eight acres of meadows. As a result, members of the community enjoy an unsurpassed level of privacy and elegance. Five lots are now currently available for purchase, with the option of combining two 4-acre lots.
As the first organization of its kind in the Village of Southampton in over a century, the Olde Towne Association possesses exclusive design features, zoning privileges, and relationships, providing significant benefits to each landowning member. Three historical home design styles-Colonial Revival, Shingle Style, and English Country-have been selected to maintain the quaint and traditional feel of Olde Towne and emulate the summer cottages built during the prime era of resort architecture.
These characteristics have guided the effort to design a singular private association that pays homage to Olde Towne’s past and provides stewardship for the land’s future, while offering an unmatched sense of gracious living to its members. The unrivaled mature plantings, sense of place, and intimacy of Olde Towne have indeed created the finest estate setting in the Hamptons.

Completed in 1930, it is known the world-over for its distinctive design, which stands out against the earlier-built skyscrapers. In fact, when the Skyscraper Museum surveyed 100 architects, brokers, builders, critics, developers, engineers, historians, and scholars, a staggering 90 percent agreed that the Chrysler Building was the holy grail of commercial real estate.
An opportunity has arisen that is exclusive, rare, and unusual: space in the 69th Floor Tower Suite is now on the market-up to 5,343 square feet of Golden Era glory. When one enters this National Historic Landmark-designated property, the first thing to thrill the senses is the magnificent Art Deco lobby, with smooth wood-inlaid private elevators.
Within the office, the interior and views are unparalleled. The space is replete with Italian marble floors, laboriously hand-painted walls, up to 40-foot ceilings, 10-foot tall triangular windows that invite in the sun, and breathtaking views. It also entails a tucked away circular staircase with restricted access to a bi-windowed duplex hideaway, and another leading to the 70th floor. Glorious views of the harbor, both rivers, and the 360-degree skyline at your disposal put this piece of real estate in a class all its own.
