Charming historic house on Sterling Harbor, water views, 5-min walk to village

REDUCED RATE FOR OCTOBER

Tucked away in Sterling Harbor in the Historic District on Greenport's most desired street is this lovely, 3-bedroom, 1780s “vernacular” house. Meticulous attention has been paid to renovations that preserve its architectural integrity, accented by art and furniture from the owner's travels, while including modern additions. A new split-system A/C has been installed for summer 2025 for your comfort.

The 1st floor offers an open flow to spacious living areas — a library-foyer with working fireplace, large dining room accommodating 8, and a fully-equipped and stocked cook’s kitchen with Bosch/GE/Wolf appliances. The light-filled sunroom opens to a deck designed for entertainment, with a flowering pergola, water views, and salt breezes. The original porch is perfect for relaxing, reading, and watching passers-by.

The main bedroom on the 1st floor has a working fireplace and full bathroom. Two bedrooms on the 2nd floor with water views share a full bath: a large bedroom (queen bed) with cross ventilation and a charming guest room (full bed for a single) with skylight.

A patio by the kitchen, with flowering arbor, water views, and Weber grill, offers additional dining possibilities. The back yard, with mature trees and gardens, boasts a large lawn, perfect for family games (croquet, badminton), and a fire pit for when the weather gets cooler. An outdoor shower awaits your return from a day at the beach.

Enjoy dining al fresco with freshly caught fish from Southold Fish Market, sweet corn from Latham and Sep's Farms, greens from Sang Lee and Deep Roots Farms. Indulge in bivalves at Little Creek Oyster and artisanal beers at Greenport Harbor Brewery, both on Carpenter Street, and wines from Kontokosta Winery on the Main Road -- all 5 minutes away by foot, bike, or car.

A food-and-wine destination on the North Fork, attractions abound in the village: the new North Fork Arts Center, Burton’s Bookstore, Mitchell Park and Carousel, boating/fishing tours, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, markets and shops. Public beaches are close by -- 67 Steps & Inlet Pond on the Long Island Sound; 4th St, 5th St, Gull Pond & Sandy Beach on the Peconic Bay.

Transportation: The Long Island Railroad (LIRR), Hampton Jitney & Long Island Expressway (LIE) all serve Greenport. North Ferry connects the village to Shelter Island & South Ferry to the Hamptons and Montauk. Cross Sound Ferry at Orient Pt, 8 miles away, plies the seas to New England.
