Step into Sag Harbor's storied past with this stunningly restored and expanded 1890's home, masterfully reimagined by a top AD100 designer. This residence seamlessly celebrates its historic roots while deftly incorporating discrete modern amenities, offering an unparalleled living experience. As part of a multi-year restoration and expansion, original details were carefully refurbished, including the exterior cedar siding and architectural features, wide-plank pine floors, original windows and glass, and antique ceiling beams. Exact material matches were sourced where needed, with artisans employed to ensure authenticity, including for the hand-clipped cedar shake roof. The walls throughout the home are ammonia-fumed knotty pine. Luxurious updates, like acid-washed marble floors, Catchpole & Rye brass plumbing fixtures, and a hand-hammered copper alloy bathtub, were subtly blended in to maintain the cohesive aesthetic. On the main level, a large great room provides separate seating and dining areas, all bathed in natural light. A first-floor bedroom, with walls lined in vintage French linen, includes an ensuite bathroom and doubles as a lounge or library. While completely new, the kitchen is in every way an extension of the home's original design aesthetic: anchored by an AGA stove, it features maple countertops, a custom zinc sink, and custom pine cabinetry that discretely conceals appliances. A distinct beverage area with an ice maker and freezer is complemented by a breakfast room encased in expansive windows that frame the lush garden. Upstairs, the primary suite with a vaulted ceiling provides a serene retreat overlooking the expansive back lawn, and has an en-suite bath wrapped in green-glazed beadboard paneling. A generously proportioned third bedroom and full bath are also located on the second floor. Outside, the carefully planned landscape is equally impressive. Divided into multiple spaces and lushly planted with an array of foliage, it includes a dining terrace, a discrete pergola-covered sitting area, a grass lawn, and a heated gunite pool with a stone surround. Boxwoods, pleached hornbeams, rhododendron, roses, magnolia trees, and many other specimen plantings totally envelop the property for privacy. Located in the heart of Sag Harbor Village, this incomparable property is a testament to timeless design and meticulous craftmanship.
