A timeless Sag Harbor retreat blending historic architectural charm with modern eclectic interiors and stunning waterfront views.
Set in the heart of Sag Harbor, this waterfront home sits tucked away behind lush greenery, offering coveted views of Upper Sag Harbor Cove. Designed to reflect the rich history of the surrounding neighborhood, the home presents a dignified, traditional façade on the street side, while expansive glass walls at the back open fully to the water and sky.
Inside, classic architectural detailing meets contemporary eclectic furnishings and a striking modern art collection, creating a warm and sophisticated retreat perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.
The homeowners sought a residence that embraced the historic character of Sag Harbor while accommodating the needs of a modern, active family. The design needed to balance traditional craftsmanship with open, functional spaces that flow seamlessly for casual family living and formal entertaining.
Achieving harmony between the home’s architecture, eclectic interior style, and breathtaking natural setting was key to delivering a cohesive and timeless design.
The two-story layout follows the principles of historic Sag Harbor homes, with a formal procession of rooms connected by enlarged openings for modern flow and livability. Classic paneling and moldings were carefully scaled to evoke understated luxury and serenity. Inside, an eclectic mix of modern, French-inspired, and rustic furnishings creates visual interest, while an expansive open kitchen, breakfast area, and family room spill naturally into the gardens and patios beyond.
A palette of soft grays and neutrals serves as a calming backdrop, punctuated by sophisticated textures, bold patterns, and a world-class art collection. Large windows frame the waterfront vistas, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The result is a refined yet welcoming retreat, perfectly suited for a young family that loves to entertain — equally at home hosting casual gatherings or formal celebrations, always with impeccable style.
