It’s perfectly lovely. And reasonably priced, considering the location. It’s got all the bells and whistles, and is ready to move in, and completely restored. One wonders why it has lingered on the market. Surely some discerning person will want to snatch this up. So nice to see a house that has been correctly and tastefully restored and decorated. It’s all too rare these days.
Old money on old Long Island! What a dream!
When I was working for the late George Clarkson, I had the special privilege of being introduced to this very
exclusive and yet, inclusive world- of horses, gardens, old houses and even older gardens! I’ll always recall with fondness meeting C Z Guest at the estate of Mrs. Rodgers Denckla, on Great Plains Road in Southampton- we had our own cook who also worked for George, and she made fabulous tea sandwiches! Olive, watercress, tomato- delicious!
People truly enjoyed a leisurely summer season on long island- and read books, hit tennis and golf balls, and spent a lot of time outdoors. Bellport is a hold out from the madness that “the Hampton’s” has become!
Bargain price imo but it’s in NY state terribly high property tax and income tax
Great family home for a hedge fund guy to commute in better than some dinky condo in town at same price
I love the striped shades on the porch in the loose position with a stylish swag. But I would have to risk being a rude guest and move those urns to the corners of the pool.
This post got me deep down the google hole of “what’s Greek Revival?” To me it’s not this house so I needed to know more. I learned so much. This websites always opening my eyes to new things and a great education. Thank you
