11 High St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963

11 High Street is a 19th-century Greek Revival gem in the heart of historic Sag Harbor, and a house with a story few village homes can match. Built in 1860 for Josiah Douglass, president of the village bank and a financier of several of Sag Harbor's whaling expeditions, it was raised at the height of the era that made the village one of the great whaling ports of the East Coast. Douglass remains part of the village to this day; he rests in Sag Harbor's Oakland Cemetery, alongside generations of the captains and merchants whose fortunes he helped build. The house originally stood on Elizabeth Street. In 1971, when the Pierson School was being expanded, the home was deemed of such historic value that rather than lose it, the village moved it to its present site on High Street. Restored in 2008 by Robert Strada Design Inc. and renovated again in 2020, it now offers a timeless retreat in a prime village location, where history and modern luxury are seamlessly entwined. Situated on 0.26A± acres, the 3,500A± SF residence offers 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom. Original character is everywhere: wide-board pine floors, four fireplaces that evoke the elegance of a bygone era, and Greek Revival period doors and moldings that showcase exquisite craftsmanship. A gracious entrance foyer and staircase set the tone, opening to a living room, formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen with Viking appliances. Outside, a 16' x 32' heated gunite pool, a pool house with full bathroom, and rear decking create an inviting setting for relaxing or dining. Bordered by village green space and enclosed by stacked stone walls and Greek Revival period fencing, the property is a private sanctuary in the center of town, moments from Sag Harbor's dining hotspots and the Hampton Jitney stop. Live in a piece of Sag Harbor's history, where every detail tells a story and every modern comfort is thoughtfully integrated into this Greek Revival masterpiece.
