BELLPORT VILLAGE ESCAPE. Step into the timeless seaside haven that is Bellport's highly sought-after historic village center with this exceptional circa 1860 colonial residence, offering distant water views of the Great South Bay. With a crisp and airy feel throughout, the first floor boasts original details in the entry foyer, formal living and dining rooms each with its own fireplace. French doors off the living room open to a charming screened-in porch overlooking a cutting garden and elegant pool. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, professional-grade Blue Star stove, thick marble countertops and steel casement French doors opening onto a grilling terrace and the manicured garden. A library/media room, a mudroom/laundry room with Miele machines, and a half bath complete the floor. The second floor features three bedrooms and two baths, with a primary suite boasting a sitting area, walk-in closet and expansive balcony with water views. The primary bathroom offers a gorgeous European-style tub and both second-floor bathrooms feature sinks that began their lives in the Waldorf Astoria. The attic floor has a stunning fourth bedroom with its own sitting area. Outside, enjoy the lovely salt-water pool surrounded by hornbeam and boxwood hedges, and a picturesque barn with a sitting area, perfect for outdoor entertaining. Living here comes with extraordinary privileges, whether you wish to take the Bellport residents-only Whalehouse Point ferry to Bellport's beautiful Ho-Hum Beach on Fire Island during the summer, play golf or tennis at the Bellport Country Club (residents get a subsidized membership), or take advantage of Bellport's town marina. Three farms within a short bike ride provide world-class produce in season, and it's an even shorter walk to Bellport's restaurants and renowned shops. The commute? An effortless 90-minute train ride to Manhattan, or slightly more by car.
