House proud

Originally built in 1925, this farmhouse had a complete renovation that also took care to preserve original hardwood floors and wood doors, and details such as the fireplace brick work and vintage crystal doorknobs. The roof and all mechanicals were replaced, new insulation added, the landscaping redone, and an addition expanded the kitchen. “This was soup to nuts, not just cosmetic,” says Erica Kelly, the Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty agent who is co-listing the house with Natalie Hough.

What’s the plan?

The first level includes the kitchen, living and dining rooms, a sunroom, a bedroom and half bathroom. The wood-burning fireplace in the living room has been restored with the original brickwork and is flanked by built-in shelves. French doors lead from the dining room into the all-season sunroom. Custom three-panel gliding doors from the kitchen lead to a new mahogany deck and the backyard, creating an invisible and seamless indoor/outdoor transition. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bathroom and the expanded primary suite features cathedral ceilings and a large walk-in closet. The super-sized primary bathroom includes a 42-inch glass shower with dual waterfall rain heads and double sinks. The basement level is not finished, but the current owners have set it up as a gym and lounge area.

What’s cooking?

The kitchen is equipped with a Thor appliance suite, including an extra-large oven. The custom marine-blue cabinets and center island, which seats three, are topped with white quartz counters. A separate service area can be used as a dry bar and includes glass-paned upper cabinets to show off glassware. Other amenities include a wine fridge and a built-in convenience desk. 

What else?

The sellers have verified with the town of Southold that the lot has room for a swimming pool and though they have not proceeded with the permit procedure, the current owners have prepped the garage with plumbing and electricity for potential conversion to a pool house.

The sellers are open to selling the furnishings in a separate transaction.

One cool thing

The expansive back yard is lush and private, with fencing and hedges. On the side, it offers views of the Kontokosta Vineyard from the front porch and bedroom.

Agent’s callout 

“What stands out most to me is the quality of the renovation and how it retained historic charm,” says Kelly. “They really intertwined and preserved the elements with modern updates.” 

Location, location, location

This home is well located between the village of Greenport, 1.1 miles away, and beaches on Long Island Sound. 67 Steps Beach is .6 miles and Inlet Pond County Park is one mile. Also nearby are Norman E. Klipp Marine Park, Island’s End Golf & Country Club and Sandy Beach on the Stirling Basin.

Details

The home is referred to by both its physical address, which is 619 Bailey Ave., and the public record and deed, which is 220 Bailey Road—a particular quirk of Greenport records. Either way, this renovated farmhouse at 220/619 lists for $1,895,000 and the details can be seen here.

An open house for the home will be held Saturday, June 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
