Built in 1832 and owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, this is a quintessential Bellport property set within the Village's Historic District. Remarkably, the current owners are only the fourth stewards of the home in its nearly 200-year history, a testament to the property's enduring appeal and significance within the Village. Positioned on one of Bellport's most treasured lanes, the home reflects the history, character, and sense of continuity that have defined Bellport for generations. From here, the marina, Bellport Country Club, village shops and restaurants, and the residents-only ferry to Ho-Hum Beach are all just moments away. Behind a classic white picket fence, beautifully landscaped grounds unfold through mature trees, flowering gardens, and established plantings cultivated over decades. The setting feels private, timeless, and distinctly Bellport. At the heart of the six-bedroom residence is a remarkable double-height great room with exposed beams, custom millwork, a lofted gallery, and an impressive wood-burning fireplace. Filled with natural light and overlooking the grounds, it serves as the home's architectural centerpiece and primary gathering space. Near the front entrance, a more intimate living room centered around a second wood-burning fireplace offers a welcoming retreat and flows naturally into the formal dining room. Beyond, the expansive eat-in kitchen is anchored by a substantial center island and complemented by a butler's pantry and dedicated laundry area. Just off the kitchen, a quaint brick patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, creating an easy connection between the home and its gardens. A separate den offers a cozy space for television, reading, or quieter moments away from the larger gathering areas. One of the home's most inviting features is its spacious screened porch, a natural extension of the interior and an ideal setting for summer dining, morning coffee, or evenings spent overlooking the property. Outside, flowering gardens, mature trees, and established plantings create a setting that has been thoughtfully cultivated over decades. Tucked privately among the grounds, the gunite pool, spa, and surrounding patio provide a secluded backdrop for summer entertaining, while open lawns and garden paths add to the property's timeless appeal. Rich in history and lovingly cared for across nearly five decades of ownership, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Bellport Village's enduring homes. Having passed through only four owners in nearly 200 years, the property stands as a remarkable example of Bellport's architectural heritage. Defined by its historic architecture, beautifully established grounds, and exceptional Village location, it captures the character and lifestyle that continue to make Bellport one of the South Shore's most sought-after communities.
