Arriving at this effortlessly chic seaside home from the city is a shockingly swift affair – you can be in Manhattan for breakfast and Sag Harbour for lunch. With its white-washed interiors and beachy accents, the home is ideal for a family of weekenders or those looking for a long-term change of scenery. Our favourite touches include the rustic dining table, the gorgeously manicured yard, the exercise bike and the twinkling pool, perfect for hot summer days. The hydrangea-lined patio with its Adirondack chairs is perfect for lounging with a drink while someone grills up dinner. One of the seriously special aspects of this home is its fabulous location within walking distance of Sag Harbour’s Main Street, with its restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries all a stone’s throw away. Sag Harbour is one of New York State’s best kept secrets and the family-friendly bohemian alternative to other nearby towns. Tucked away on a private road, you’re guaranteed a peaceful escape here.
