An 1880s Farmhouse in the Hamptons: Classic in the Front, Contemporary in Back

This 1880s farmhouse in the Hamptons may look like a traditional older home from the front, but walk around back and you'll discover something much more modern.

It really made me do a double-take when I first saw these. It looked like they had combined the photos from two different listings. The house is listed with Corcoran for $8.95 million. You can see the rest of the photos and get more information about the listing here.

P.S. I'm featuring photos of the classic white house from the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie movie "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"over at Hooked on Houses today.
