Located on coveted John Street, one of the most desirable streets in Sag Harbor Village, this 1830's light-filled waterfront home with dock offers beautiful water views of Upper Sag Harbor Cove, magnificent sunsets, and is within strolling distance to the heart of the village. It has retained its unique old world charm with many interesting architectural details, beautiful wide plank flooring, and 3 working fireplaces. Nicely updated with many conveniences of today including central air. Living room and den with fireplaces, large waterside country kitchen, spacious office, master bedroom with fireplace and bath, plus 2 guest bedrooms and 2 additional baths. A welcome and separate Artist Studio is fully winterized, and has its own waterside deck with lovely views of the Cove. Lots of space for play and fun in the spacious side and back yards. A truly unique home on .31 acres with room for pool and expansion.

Given its historical significance and unique position — it is located in both East Hampton and Southampton — Sag Harbor captures the soul and spirit of the Hamptons. Sag Harbor’s central business district (the whole of which earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places) was so key to the whaling industry of the late 18th and 19th centuries that it scored a mention in Moby Dick. Thus the village became a magnet for merchants and entrepreneurs — and culture. A perfect place for the creative class centuries before the term existed, Sag Harbor has enjoyed a bustling commercial and artistic atmosphere since its founding. Such an environment has resulted in a year-round lifestyle. Between that and its irregular coastline, which allows many properties to boast water views, Sag Harbor (which also features the calm waters of family-friendly Havens Beach) is one of the most desirable addresses in the Hamptons.

Settled in the early 1700s, Sag Harbor’s historical bona fides are many. It served as a stage for the American Revolutionary War, with one of its hills becoming a battleground that saw British casualties and the capture of 90 British soldiers. Long Island’s first custom house was built in Sag Harbor, and the harbor itself played a role in the War of 1812. And so on. As the first port of entry of the U.S., Sag Harbor emerged as a hotbed of social vitality and thriving interaction where various kinds of people — soldiers, seamen, merchants, and artistic types — freely mixed. John Steinbeck was perhaps the village’s most famous literary resident of the 20th century; novelist E.L. Doctorow (Ragtime) and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson also lived here. Sag Harbor’s well-respected nonprofit Bay Street Theater, founded in 1991, continues to nurture the town’s arts-and-letters reputation, as do the readings at Canio’s Books, which has been around since 1980.

History & Culture

No two ways about it: Sag Harbor has a thriving Main Street, and several dining venues come up again and again among the locals. Wölffer Kitchen bills itself and its sibling in Amagansett as “the first winery-owned restaurants on the East End,” and this spot has won devotees for its seasonal cuisine, community vibe, and selection of wines, ciders, and spirits. Page at 63 Main prides itself on local oysters and its sautéed veal piccata, as well as its more virtuous vegan vegetable grain bowl. BLT chef Laurent Tourondel has the low-key LT Burger, and the Neapolitan pies at the year-old Sag Pizza have been greeted with open arms. With Sag Harbor known for charm and taste, it’s small wonder that Main Street has at least two homewares shops that win raves: Fishers Home Furnishings and In Home.
