The American Flag is one of the most prominent symbols of our nation. It evokes patriotism and pride, but not many know that Revolutionary War veteran and Hamptons native Captain John Hulbert is believed to be the creator of the flag’s first prototype. Hulbert resided in this charming house in Sag Harbor village, which is currently on the market for $7.495 million. Built in 1760, the home has undergone a masterful restoration and renovation under Breskin Development so that it is now a stunning blend of old charm and modern luxury.Located in the historic district of Sag Harbor Village, the storied Greek Revival home is a rare gem. Walking through the front door, you will delight in the preserved details of the past. According the Curbed, the residence retains its original exposed beams and moldings plus wows with custom millwork, 10-foot ceilings and eight masonry fireplaces.The scale of the 6,000-square foot house is emphasized through five en-suite bedrooms and five full and two half bathrooms. Many would think the crowning jewel of the outdoor set up would be the heated pool, but the house also boasts a rooftop deck with a working fireplace. The luxurious al fresco elements will be indispensable for entertaining in the summer and just imagine watching Fourth of July fireworks from the roof of your Revolutionary War-era home.Scott Strough of Compass represents the dreamy 6 Union Street listing.
