AN INTRODUCTION

A closer look.

One of Greenport’s most iconic homes, the William Corey House was built circa 1882 and stands as a beautiful testament to the village’s rich maritime history. Built for William D. Corey of Webb & Corey, a prominent ship chandlery that supplied vessels passing through Greenport’s bustling harbor, this distinguished residence has a direct connection to the working waterfront that helped shape the village. Set on a generous double lot graced by magnificent mature beech trees and a charming carriage house, the residence is distinguished by its slate roof, scalloped shingles, and decorative brackets. A gracious wraparound porch framed by Ionic columns welcomes visitors, while a Colonial-style doorway with an arched transom and sidelights adds to its timeless appeal. Together, these beautifully preserved period details reflect the craftsmanship and prosperity of Greenport’s years as a thriving port. Long admired by residents and visitors alike, 440 1st Street represents a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Greenport’s architectural and maritime heritage. Awaiting its next steward, this extraordinary property offers the chance to restore its beauty, honor its history, and write the next chapter of one of the village’s most recognizable homes.
