One of the most iconic homes in East Hampton Village, a beautifully restored Queen Anne Victorian at 30 Huntting Lane, is now Sold & Closed.
Exclusively represented by Romaine Gordon of Saunders & Associates, the property went into contract following Gordon’s appointment as the exclusive agent (last listed at $6.395 M), underscoring the effectiveness of her disciplined representation, market positioning, and professional execution.
Built in 1896 by the Huntting family (and namesake of Huntting Lane), the home carries rare Village provenance, with its original character preserved and its history newly illuminated through photographs uncovered during the restoration, revealing connections to prominent American families including the Beales and Bouviers.
“This is the kind of listing that demands attention to all the little details—architecturally, historically, and in how it’s presented to the market,” said Gordon. “My job was to honor what makes the property so unique, and to make sure potential buyers understood the property as it was, and as it could be. It was a really special experience to be part of this!”
Through the stewardship of Tom Strong, an East Hampton local, police officer, and occasional landscaper, the property became a full-circle story of community and care—safeguarding a piece of East Hampton’s architectural legacy along with the house.
Tom Strong met the longtime owner of 30 Huntting Lane, Edward Tyler Huntting Jr., after being hired to mow the lawn, recognizing him as the same man he’d once seen struggling to cut the overgrown grass himself. What began as simple yard work became a steady friendship and quiet caretaking as Huntting aged, ultimately leading Strong to inherit the home and restore it with deep respect for its legacy.
The restoration is defined by restraint and craftsmanship: Douglas fir floors, preserved wainscoting, and revived millwork reset the interiors, while the home’s 48 antique windows were meticulously restored—rebalanced, reweather-stripped, and refitted with custom hand-blown glass to restore the original cadence of light and air.
Period character remains intact even as modern comforts slip in quietly, from a rebuilt kitchen chimney anchoring a 36-inch Viking range to marble-tiled baths and a newly finished third floor.
“Veteran representation and storytelling make all the difference with a property like 30 Huntting Lane,” said Steve Glick, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Saunders & Associates. “This isn’t just a list of bedrooms and amenities – it’s a true East Hampton Village landmark. From day one, Romaine led with urgency and clarity, backed by Saunders’ in-house marketing team delivering fresh photography, sharp copy, and targeted advertising—along with earned media and well-promoted open houses. The payoff spoke for itself.”
