House proud
Everything about this home is classic—from the cedar-shingled exterior to the leafy backyard and its prime location in the historic whaling village of Sag Harbor. While in the village, it is surrounded by nearly 10 acres of nature preserve, bounded by Glover and West Water streets, and Long Island Avenue. Built in 2002, recent updates include a rehab of the primary bathroom, new sliding doors to the deck with expanded windows that maximize the light.
“This is a meticulously maintained and lightly used home on one of the more sought-after historic streets in the village,” says Jane Babcook, the agent listing the property with Christie’s International Real Estate.
What’s the plan?
The home is entered through an L-shaped covered porch, and the foyer and entry hall bisect the floor plan to the back of the house, so you can see through upon entering. The wing to the left of the foyer contains two ensuite bedrooms of near-equal size, an adaptable sitting room and laundry. To the right of the foyer is a 912-square foot open living/dining room and kitchen plan featuring vaulted ceilings, a masonry fireplace and plenty of windows. Sliding doors lead to the 375-square-foot side deck overlooking the pool. The second floor living space is devoted to a 234-square-foot loft-like primary suite with a large bathroom remodeled with Restoration Hardware fixtures, new modern-rustic wood vanity and a walk-in closet. There’s nearly 465 square feet of unfinished attic space on this floor.
What’s cooking?
The white Shaker-style lower cabinets are topped with granite; the upper cabinets are glass-paned. The center island includes an integrated Viking stovetop, undercounter storage and can seat two people. There’s a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a separate pantry.
What else?
The first floor sitting room is a flexible space that can be used as a home office, media room or accommodate overflow guests. There are hardwood floors throughout the home, and the entry foyer is tiled with bluestone.
Amenities and more
- 18 x 40 gunite pool

One cool thing
The home is entirely ringed with hedges or other green “living walls” guaranteeing privacy and quietude.
Agent’s callout
In close proximity to the village and yet surrounded by a nature preserve, “this is a rare find,” Babcook says. “There is no need for your car keys.”
Location, location, location
In addition to shops, restaurants and marinas, of local interest are the Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum, which hosts the “725 Art Show,” returning Sept. 7; Bay Street Theatre, and the Sag Harbor Cinema, an art-film house whose annual benefit is this Saturday, Aug. 17. The Sag Harbor Hampton Jitney stop is .7 miles from the property.
