This cozy 1860s Greek Revival cottage at 85 Suffolk Street in the village of Sag Harbor wraps chic interiors and modern amenities in historic Hamptons curb appeal. Asking $5,350,000, the renovated home has a guest house and a heated pool, ready for all-season living without having to change a thing.
As Curbed reported, the home was built for David Porter Vail, a whaling captain, in the 1870s. In the 1990s, Valerie and George Justin bought and restored the 19th-century home. George was a production manager and executive who worked on major films like “On the Waterfront” and “12 Angry Men,” and Valerie was an expert in textiles.
After Valerie’s death in 2023, the Suffolk Street home was first listed for $4.195 million. It sold last year for $3.65 million.
A front door painted a stylish slate blue-gray opens into a gracious living room. This sun-filled front room is warmed with the touch of a button by a gas fireplace.
A formal dining room and a spacious kitchen extend the home’s entertaining capacity with the same designer-comfort vibe. The kitchen is served by a butler’s pantry; both have custom cabinetry and stone worktops. Patio access means easy summertime outdoor dining.
Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A powder room serves the first floor.
On the grounds, a heated pool is surrounded by a verdant yard. For even more flexibility, a well-appointed guest house is a laid-back mini-cottage with a living area, kitchen, full bath, and sleeping loft.
