At the secluded shoreline of Morris Cove, “East of Eden,” the Sag Harbor Village home at 10 Bluff Point Lane, is a perfect lazy summer retreat, complete with a private dock and bulkheaded frontage. Asking $7,150,000, the property is next door to the former estate of writer John Steinbeck and actress Elaine Steinbeck, defining the waterfront enclave’s laid-back creative cachet.
The property is anchored by an original 1930s cottage. The home has been redesigned for summers to come by architect James Merrell according to the owners’ creative vision, with custom redwood clapboard siding, topped by a copper roof.
Hidden from sight past historic wooden gates and down a quiet lane, the house is surrounded by mature trees and landscaped gardens. Added conveniences include three-car parking and EV charging for modern living, seamlessly integrated with its historic timelessness.
Within, details like aged Indonesian teak flooring, walls, and ceilings, and cedar-clad beams extend the indoor-outdoor experience. Every room delivers magical water and garden vistas.
Living and dining spaces are served by a bright and capable kitchen with water views. Two guest quarters make room for friends and family.
The primary suite hovers above the water for a front-row seat at sunset. The adjacent bath has radiant heat flooring and plenty of light.
At the lowest level is a waterfront guest room/lounge. Beyond is a flexible entertaining space clad in teakwood, perfect for a home office and gym. This unique bonus space is enhanced by a cedar-lined closet, a full bath, and a wine cellar. From here, step out onto a stone-clad patio.
On the grounds, a heated gunite plunge pool and a Balinese pavilion offer more summer respite. A private dock accommodating vessels up to 28 feet awaits both enjoyment and escape.
