23 Suffolk St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963

In the heart of historic Sag Harbor Village, a major and exquisite 1840's Egyptian Revival home meticulously restored and appropriately enlarged on one of the largest town center sites of .4 acres includes terraces, gardens and a unique 50-foot gunite pool and spa, creating one of the great historic and most luxurious houses of the Hamptons. Located on one the most coveted, quietest streets in the historic village, part of a double lot, this 6200-square-foot, 5 bedroom, 4 and two half bathroom, four-level home with great ceiling heights embodies a rich architectural and cultural history, expertly restored in every custom detail by the international architectural and design renovator David Kleinberg with architect Martin Sosa. The result, a sublime combination of historical integrity with every luxury and state of the art amenity for contemporary living. The house has a pedigreed past as not only one of the oldest and finest examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in Sag Harbor but was the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson. The painstaking rebuilding and restoration, completed in 2016, included every attention to detail, from each baseboard, crown and door frame recreated from the original moldings, hand-blown double-glazed windows, and historic paint colors creating a soothing palate. Design details abound from restored 19th-century wide plank oak flooring throughout every level, to the classic custom English imported Jamb fireplaces and light fittings gracing each of the major rooms and many of the bedrooms. The grand entry hall with its stunning and intricately detailed mahogany and oak stairway leads into a traditional, generously-sized double parlor, with hugely proportioned rooms and high ceilings. To one side is a regal library with floor to ceiling custom made bookcases and on the other an ample formal dining room. Double doors lead to the sunlit and airy bountiful chef's eat-in kitchen (with 13-foot ceiling height and custom lead-glazed windows) with top of the line appliances. French doors open onto a bluestone terrace with extensive dining and living areas including an outdoor fireplace. The lush lawn and rare, large pool and spa are surrounded by evergreens. The second floor includes two ensuite guest bedrooms and baths with the most outstanding and unique, royal master suite, complete with dressing room and expansive closets, vaulted ceilings, wood-paneled walls, English custom Jamb fireplace, private terrace and large bathroom featuring a spa steam double shower and two tubs with custom finishes throughout from David Kleinberg. The top-level offers two additional twin bedrooms, one with a charming captain's bedroom and a superb, full-sized bathroom with custom finishes. A finished lower level also offers a large gym, huge wine cellar, storage, full-scale laundry, state of the art gym and a large family room or room for TV or projection screening. The entire house also features cutting edge technology including a security and sprinkler system throughout. The center of the picturesque, vibrant Village of Sag Harbor is just down the street with chic shops, restaurants, theaters, and a gorgeous harbor home to classic sailboats and luxury yachts. This is a rare opportunity to own the best village house in Sag Harbor, a truly unique and outstanding renovation and expansion, as one of the lovingly restored historic Hamptons home, ready to be enjoyed for the next hundred years.
