The History: This home was built in the 1960s by the current owner's father. It was built it with cedarwood repurposed from a Southampton barn built in the 1800s. As the story goes, the current owner's father was friendly with John Steinbeck and he and John each took the wide plank wood from the barn, which was to be torn down - John using it for his writing studio in Sag Harbor. This house is rich in history and character, as are the interior features, turn of the century French and American antiques and collectables.
