One of Sag Harbor Village’s most design-forward homes is newly up for sale: The personal residence of acclaimed designer Neal Beckstedt. Architectural Digest featured the property earlier this year, as the designer has spent the past decade carefully restoring and expanding the historic home. Now, it is jumping off the pages of magazines and onto the market, listed for nearly $5 million.
Located walking distance from Sag Harbor’s charming downtown, the circa-1890s residence has been reimagined through a multi-year renovation that balances timeless craftsmanship with Beckstedt’s signature warm minimalism. “This home was always meant to be a restoration of quiet luxury,” Beckstedt shares. “I wanted to bring back the soul of the 1890s house while layering in modern updates that felt honest and timeless. It reflects how I believe one should live—surrounded by warm, natural materials that evoke a sense of calm and character.”
The cozy 2,077-square-foot abode has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Natural design elements distinguish the property—from the cedar exterior, to the wide-plank pine floors, antique ceiling beams, and treated pine walls. A serene, earthy palette throughout creates a seamless dialogue between old and new. Outside, a lush yard with a gunite swimming pool awaits.
“This was a dream home in many ways, and now we are embracing something new for the next chapter of our life,” Beckstedt says. For those interested in purchasing the property, Noble Black and James (Averitt) Buttry of Noble Black & Partners at Douglas Elliman hold the $4,950,000 listing.
