Sag Harbor By Boutique

Elle Décor Published Modernist Home in the Hamptons

Featured in Elle Décor (April 2025 issue), this striking multi-level home offers a sophisticated yet relaxed living experience in the heart of the historic Ninevah Beach enclave. Nestled in a quiet, private community and backing onto a protected nature reserve, the home is just a short mile from the shops, restaurants, and marinas of Sag Harbor Village. Ninevah Beach is a quick two-minute stroll from the doorstep.

Designed with understated luxury and thoughtful minimalism, the home blends softly textured plaster walls, polished concrete floors embedded with exposed aggregate, reflective Portuguese bluestone, rich brass fixtures, and curated African and Black American art and furniture. A playful indoor swing, expansive decks, and a lush backyard add a casual, easygoing spirit to the sophisticated architecture.

Layout

Main floor: The open-plan main level welcomes you with an airy, expansive living room anchored by a modern fireplace. It flows seamlessly into a large kitchen outfitted with premium European appliances and an adjacent lounge area with a full bathroom. From the living area, large doors open onto an oversized deck overlooking the landscaped backyard and protected reserve. This level features a cozy guest bedroom with a full-size bed, a full bathroom accessible from the lounge area, a spacious primary suite with a king-size bed and signature wood sink bathroom, and a powder room.

Top level: The top floor houses a spectacular primary suite that opens directly onto a private rooftop deck with a hot tub and stairs leading to a rooftop vegetable garden. Inside the suite, the bathroom features two custom-carved Portuguese bluestone sinks, two rainfall showerheads, and a striking stainless steel soaking tub — all set against clean, minimalist lines for a spa-like experience.

Garden level: The garden level opens directly to the backyard and is designed for both entertaining and relaxation. Features include a large media room with a fireplace and an indoor swing, a secondary kitchenette, a full laundry room, and a half bathroom with easy access to the backyard.
