PRICE REDUCED: $685,000 $629,000

Office. Owner-user. Adaptive Reuse. Residential Conversion.

Located at 8 West High Street (Route 66), East Hampton, CT, this 1.06± acre property features a 2,300 SF, three-story professional office building rich in original 1885 architecture and historic charm. High ceilings, period details, and character you simply cannot recreate today.

The building is fully turnkey for office use, making it ideal for an established professional user looking to expand or relocate. The current occupants are relocating—not closing and will continue servicing their clients during the transition.

A New Opportunity for Adaptive Reuse & Residential Conversion

More than an office building — an opportunity to reposition a historic East Hampton property.

8 West High Street offers 2,306± SF of historic office space on 1.06± acres along Route 66, with an additional unfinished attic providing potential for expanded usable space.

Beyond its current turnkey office configuration, the property presents an intriguing adaptive-reuse opportunity for an investor, developer, or residential buyer.

Connecticut’s New Commercial-to-Residential Conversion Law.

Connecticut Public Act 25-164, effective October 1, 2025, establishes a framework intended to facilitate the conversion of qualifying commercial buildings to residential use. The legislation specifically includes office buildings and provides a potential summary review process for qualifying commercial-to-residential conversions.

For a buyer evaluating 8 West High Street, this creates an additional avenue to explore: repositioning the existing commercial building for residential use, potentially as a single-family, duplex, or other residential development, subject to applicable zoning, occupancy, building, fire and life-safety requirements and municipal approval.

The property’s existing characteristics — including its historic architecture, three-story layout, 1.06± acre site and unfinished attic — provide a compelling foundation for an adaptive-reuse strategy.
