Sag Harbor Village Compound
152 Division Street, Sag Harbor
In 1842 Abe Lincoln married Mary Todd, the University of Notre Dame was founded, ether debuts as the anesthetic of choice and the adhesive backed postage stamp adheres to its first letter. That same year, in the bustling whaling village of Sag Harbor, a perfectly wonderful 2 story, 3 bedroom home completed construction on a quarter acre along Division Street. Eight score and 11 years later, that same residence, variously expanded and renovated over the years to include a two bedroom guest house on a half acre is ready for its next owner to perhaps bring it even further into the 21st century.

In 1842 Abe Lincoln married Mary Todd, the University of Notre Dame was founded, ether debuts as the anesthetic of choice and the adhesive backed postage stamp adheres to its first letter. That same year, in the bustling whaling village of Sag Harbor, a perfectly wonderful 2 story, 3 bedroom home completed construction on a quarter acre along Division Street. Eight score and 11 years later, that same residence, variously expanded and renovated over the years to include a two bedroom guest house on a half acre is ready for its next owner to perhaps bring it even further into the 21st century. Original details balance nicely with modern amenities throughout the residence which offers gracious living room and adjacent parlor, both warmed by fireplaces, spacious eat-in kitchen, enclosed sun porch and convenient first floor bedroom. Upstairs, a separate certificate of occupancy legalizes another kitchen and two more bedrooms which could make the second floor its own separate apartment. Outside the charming property leads to a 2 bedroom, one bath guest house with living room and kitchen perfect for the weekend overflow or for rental possibilities. Navigate Main Street to have sunset drinks at B. Smiths, then stroll to the American Hotel for dinner and perhaps finish up with an ice cream at Big Olaf. With an in-town location, three separate C of O's, in the only Hampton village where its wharf meets Main Street, this ode to another era beckons those longing for their own compound and a piece of history.

Sag Harbor's pedigree as a major whaling port during the 1800s is evident in its architecture, which has been meticulously preserved by its house-proud owners of today. Walk down Sag Harbor's streets and you'll see grand Greek Revival mansions, old Victorians with all the gingerbread, charming cape cottages, and authentic saltboxes.
Warm weather mariners have an embarrassingly rich array of marinas, yacht clubs, and docks to choose from. Sag Harbor's shores, with the vista of Shelter Island in the background, provide sand and pebble beaches with gentle waters. Those who hear the siren's call know that home is where their heart is: Sag Harbor.
