A historic Hamptons home, which began as a two-bedroom cottage in the 1600s but was never landmarked, is up for auction.

The residence is part of the five-parcel 52 Quogue, formerly known as the Jessup Homestead, which sits on 2.36 acres, with homes in various stages of completion. Richard Maltz of Maltz Auctions is organizing the auction on Nov. 18.

Maltz formerly auctioned two Hamptons homes that belonged to white-collar fraudster Marc Dreier. Part of the home was built in the 1600s.

The developers invested in restoring the home, which is now “90 percent complete,” and comes with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, Maltz told The Post.

“The home is not in foreclosure. The partners could no longer agree on anything except to dissolve their partnership,” Maltz said. The minimum starting bid is $3.7 million for the full parcel. An open house is set for Nov. 7.

Maltz tells Gimme Shelter that distressed sales are “few and far between” in the Hamptons these days “because the market is so strong.”

Still, he adds: “We have had some interest so far, though I expected more.”
