81 Quogue Street, Quogue, NY 11959

Eighty-one Quogue Street is a grand and historic home built in 1885, perfectly situated on the south side of Quogue Street, short distance to the village, beach, and bays. The home beckons one with its sweeping green lawn and welcoming front porch. Upon entering one is struck by the warmth and charm of the historic details of this gem of a home. The soft light reflects off the North Carolina pine that covers the floor, walls and ceilings of this unique home. Further adding to the beauty of the old section of the home are the graceful archways, carved banister, and original fireplaces. The dining room is spacious for entertaining and offers an inviting view of the verdant lawn, as well as a glimpse back at the home's history with its butler's pass-through. French doors seamlessly transition one to the new section of the house. The back-portion dates from a recent addition and is bright and welcoming. It is perfect for relaxation and entertaining with its modern kitchen and sunken family room with large windows. Upstairs the six bedrooms are extremely sunny and beautiful with the light streaming through the jewel colored stained glass window-borders. There are three renovated bathrooms upstairs, as well as a half bathroom on the main floor. The master bedroom is particularly gracious with a large walk-in closet and a porch overlooking the greenery. All the bedrooms have doors from the halls as well as connecting doors to each adjacent bedroom. This feature dates from the first days of 81 Quogue Street when the home was used as an overflow for the inn located next door. It allowed suites to be created among the various bedrooms. The property includes an active artist's studio set in a structure that also dates from the time of the inn overflow. There is an attractive brick patio and herb garden off the sunken living room and kitchen. The home also has a one car garage.
