House of the Day: A Hamptons Cottage Revamped by Manhattan Staging Team

Location: Sag Harbor, N.Y.

Price: $1,150,000

The Skinny: Redesigned by Big Apple-based staging firm ASH NYC, this three-bedroom, two-bath cottage boasts turn-key style in the heart of Sag Harbor. The historic home has been updated with midcentury pieces, exposed wood beams, a sleek white kitchen, and renovated bathrooms, but lacks that most desired of Hamptons amenities: the swimming pool. The listing claims that there's space for one, so long as the buyer is willing to remove the existing deck. The saving grace is the price, which, at $1.15M, undercuts much of the pool-less local competition. There's no master bedroom to speak of, and the third bedroom—on the first floor—is quite small, but size issues should be expected in this price range in the ultra-expensive Hamptons.
