An 1840s Sea Captain's Home Is Beautifully Restored

The Egyptian Revival façade.

The front parlor of this 1840s Egyptian Revival home in Sag Harbor features a Dune sofa, a circa-1960s Italian cocktail table, and a sisal rug from Patterson Flynn Martin. The walls are painted Farrow & Ball’s Cornforth White.

Leather-upholstered chairs surround a table, all from Holly Hunt, in the dining room, where a gallery of black-and-white portraits fills the walls.

The hurricanes on the English sideboard are from Ralph Lauren Home; the area rug is from Merida.

The walls in the kitchen are lined with Grove Brickworks Field Tile from Waterworks and wire-brushed white-oak cabinetry and shelving. Reproduction chairs surround a steel-top table from Olde Good Things.

The custom gunmetal hood is from RangeCraft and the oven and cooktop are from Wolf.

The daybed in the captain’s room is painted Benjamin Moore’s Kensington Blue.

Maps in a guest room once belonged to Rudolf Nureyev.

A Patrick Procktor painting and a Chinese cupboard anchor the entry.

A chair in the front parlor is covered in Hinson & Company’s Ceylon Double Width.

English garden paintings hang in another guest room.

In the master bedroom, an English Arts and Crafts armchair upholstered in Cowtan & Tout’s Corsica and an armchair and ottoman covered in Osborne & Little’s Croisette Vence flank a fireplace with a steel surround from Chesney’s. Shaun Woodward commissioned the English desk and chair, which have legs that resemble porthole windows.

The adjacent master bathroom features a silver travertine floor, faucets from Lefroy Brooks, and sconces by Jamb.

A Restoration Hardware mirror hangs above an Urban Archaeology vanity in a guest bath.

The guesthouse lies around the corner from the main house.

In the guesthouse's great room, a Holly Hunt sofa and chairs surround a Restoration Hardware coffee table.

The guesthouse kitchen has Calacatta marble countertops, a Wolf range, and a Waterworks faucet.

A pair of circa-1860s English elm comb-back Windsor chairs sit at a desk from Rose Tarlow Melrose House.

Edwin Lutyens–style teak benches punctuate the pool, which is accessible from both the main house (pictured) and the guesthouse.
