200 year-old home (circa 1780) in the village of Greenport on the North Fork of Long Island, with lovely waterviews of Sterling Harbor and marinas, within a short, 5-minute walk to town. The house has been renovated with architectural character intact and an open flow to the spacious rooms. Three bedrooms (master with working fireplace on 1st floor, two bedrooms -- a single and a double -- on the 2nd floor), two full baths, large and gracious dining room, beautiful and airy sunroom opening to a front deck with pergola and flowering vines, perfect for entertaining and outdoor grilling, and foyer/library/study with a working fireplace and small daybed (suitable for a child). Old beamed ceilings, original wide floorboards, folk art and an eclectic mix of antiques, Chinese lacquered and modern furniture lend charm and character to the interior. The recently renovated country kitchen has all new state-of-the-art appliances and opens out to a side patio with arbor and gardens for casual dining, and nearby driveway.
With the lovely front, side and back yards (.27 acre), this property combines privacy and a country feel within a short walk to all village amenities -- gourmet shops, supermarket, farm stand for fresh/local/seasonal produce, fish market with the day's catch, cafes, wine and oyster bars, delis, restaurants, movie theater, carousel, antique/art galleries, bait shop, marinas, liquor store, pharmacy, hardware/marine supply stores, bookstore, banks/ATMs. All you need in this historic maritime port is within a short walk or bicycle ride!
The village is located in the heart of the North Fork farm and wine country, with the white sand and pebble beaches of Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. Many beaches are in walking or biking distance (Sandy Beach in view from the house, "67 Steps" on the Sound about a mile away, and other public beaches on the Sound or Bay). For boaters, slips can be rented at the end of the street where a public dock is used for launching small boats or kayaks and for fishing in Sterling Basin. Only a 2-hour drive from New York City, Greenport is served by train (LIRR), bus (Hampton Jitney), the North Ferry (for travel to Shelter Island, the Hamptons, and Montauk); all transportation is in walking distance from the house. The Cross Sound Ferry (for travel to New England and beyond) is 8 miles away at Orient Point. Enjoy golf (Island's End in Greenport and a public course on Shelter Island), boating, sailing, fishing, swimming, tennis (public courts in all the towns), cycling, concerts, theatre, wine-tasting at the local vineyards, nature preserves, birding, summer festivals, country fairs, auctions, house and garden tours, art openings, and the night life. Enjoy life in the maritime village, nestled in peaceful Sterling Harbor!!
