“TWO HOUSES”

IN HISTORIC SAG HARBOR

51 HEMPSTEAD STREET, SAG HARBOR VILLAGE

Sag Harbor’s Historical “Two Houses” from the 18th century were meticulously joined as one home over four decades ago and have recently been lovingly restored to their 1700s simplicity. This rare gem is complete with the historic elements remaining intact - original wide plank wooden floors, plaster walls, timber framing and beams. The front house, known as the “Snooks House,” boasts a formal living room with a large woodburning fireplace. Perfect for entertaining, you flow into a sun-filled dining room with antique, brick floors that opens up to an outside deck. Upstairs there is a master sized bedroom, with soaring, wooden beamed ceilings and a fully restored bath done in Italian marble and antique brass fixtures. The rustic style kitchen remains the heart of the home.

A cook’s dream with a large wood-burning fireplace, “Dutch oven” and bread warming box. The custom butcher island and open shelves are made of reclaimed wood from the house, and all appliances are updated. Just outside the door is a large potager vegetable and herb garden. Moving through a generous hallway that connects the “Payne House” there is a concealed but oversized laundry room and abundant storage. Next up is the cozy library, combined with a large family room that has beautifully aged timber beams, an oversized brick fireplace and built in wooden wet bar. Separately on this floor, you’ll also find a second bedroom with a large WBF and an en-suite bath with the original bear claw tub. Accessible by private staircase is the master suite which includes water views of Havens Beach. There is an oversized, light filled en-suite bathroom, a large soaking tub and shower, as well as plenty of closet space. There is also a fourth bedroom and a secret stairwell to a large attic, which can be converted into another bedroom. This 250 year old home sits on a half acre that abuts a nature preserve and has deeded access to Havens Beach, a rare village find. The expansive property is privatized by lush landscaping and flower gardens, as well as two large trees that are on the Boston and NY historical register.

There is also room for a pool here. The separate two-car garage is made up of a reclaimed wood, with gravel floor and high beamed ceilings. This is a true Sag Harbor gem that offers complete privacy and quiet from the village center, yet is only blocks away!
