Built in 1873 by Sea Captain George Weeks, this impeccably restored, light filled Victorian home recalls living in a bygone era when the Bayport area was the Hamptons for New York City elite. The home was enlarged and a wrap around porch was added at the turn of the century by a Mr. Stemmerman, a Philanthropist and co-founder of the Hamburg Savings Bank in Brooklyn. Every year Mr. Stemmerman brought his large family of nine children to their summer home on Bayport Avenue. The boys drove the horse and carriage from Brooklyn while the girls rode to Sayville by train, the last stop then on the Long Island Railroad. Swinging in a hammock on the expansive front porch or sipping tea in the garden you can imagine the family enjoying those very same experiences. Although a superb vintage home, its light filled and spacious rooms are aptly suited for contemporary living.Boasting 10' ceilings, 7' high windows, original hardware, wavy window glass and claw foot tub, this home is just full of unsurpassable authenticity. Heirloom roses and perennial blooms compliment the professional landscaped grounds.
