Young Jackie Kennedy's Once-Riding Club Sells For $1.6M

EAST HAMPTON, NY — The once-Riding Club of East Hampton, where a young Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy learned to ride, has sold.

The circa-1745 gem, located at 9 Cross Highway in East Hampton, was listed with Dawn Watson and Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman and sold for close to the estimated market price of $1,676,200, Douglas Elliman said.

The property, which exudes charm, is sited just down the street from the ocean and Two Mile Hollow Beach — and is one of only a handful of properties in East Hampton affording the opportunity to build two houses on one lot, the listing said.

The .9-acre former “Abraham Baker House” property abuts the village’s estate section and is located in both the village and the town, Douglas Elliman said. Designated as a special historic landmark by East Hampton Town, the south-of-the-highway property includes a still-standing 275-year-old two-story shingle-style home with three bedrooms, three full baths, two fireplaces, and room for a pool.

The buyers were represented by agents Kathy Zappola and Scott Strough of Compass.
