Property Description

Built circa 1750, the Joseph Buffett House at 169 West Rogues Path is one of the oldest surviving residences in Cold Spring Harbor and among the oldest homes in the Town of Huntington. Originally constructed as a colonial-era saltbox farmhouse, the home was expanded around 1830, creating the distinctive residence that stands today. The property reflects nearly three centuries of Long Island history, spanning the colonial period, the American Revolution, the rise of Cold Spring Harbor as a maritime community, and the modern preservation era.Associated with the prominent Buffett family, whose roots in Huntington trace back to the earliest generations of Long Island settlers, the house remains a rare and remarkably intact example of eighteenth-century domestic architecture. Its historic significance earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.More than just a home, the Joseph Buffett House is a living piece of New York history-an enduring landmark that has witnessed the transformation of Cold Spring Harbor from a rural farming settlement into one of Long Island's most treasured waterfront communities.
