High-end Interior Designer Offers His Stylish Hamptons Retreat for Sale, At a Price Tag of $5 Million
In the picturesque town of Sag Harbor, a masterfully restored 1890s gem is now up for grabs. The historic cottage, previously owned by renowned interior designer Neal Beckstedt, showcases a unique blend of historic charm and modern luxury, reflecting Beckstedt's signature design style.
The rustic cottage, nestled in the heart of Sag Harbor, boasts original pine floors, antique details, and a hand-chopped cedar shake roof, carefully recreated to match the original. The interior, modernized and expanded by Beckstedt, retains the property's unique character while offering contemporary comforts.
Spread over 8,000 square feet of exterior space, the restored home features five en-suite bedrooms, a saltwater pool, and lush, professionally designed grounds by a landscape architect associated with LaGuardia. The property's exterior also includes a dining terrace, a heated gunite pool, and a pergola-shaded sitting area. The chic landscaping includes clipped boxwoods, aromatic roses, stately magnolia trees, and various other flora.
The great room on the main floor features knotty pine walls, separate seating and dining areas, and a lounge area that can be used as a study or an extra bedroom. The updated kitchen maintains a historic feel with an AGA stove, custom zinc sink, pine cabinetry, and maple wood countertops. Adjoining the kitchen is a breakfast room and a distinct beverage area.
The primary bedroom in the Sag Harbor home boasts a vaulted ceiling and overlooks the back lawn. The primary bathroom is equipped with green-glazed beadboard paneling and a hand-hammered copper alloy bathtub. Another bedroom and a full bath are also included in the indoor offerings of the Sag Harbor home.
Neal Beckstedt, a New York City-based interior designer, is selling his Hamptons getaway after owning the property for about a decade. The listing price for the property, represented by Douglas Elliman, is currently undisclosed, but comparable projects and other Sag Harbor luxury properties renovated by Beckstedt or similar designers tend to fall in multi-million dollar ranges.
Tori Latham, a digital staff writer, has penned down the property's captivating story for a leading website. Latham, who has previously worked as a copy editor at The Atlantic and written for publications including The Cut and The Hollywood Reporter, brings a wealth of writing experience to the table.
