A few more pictures after the jump...

My friends are selling their house in Springs, so that they can move to Sag Harbor where the schools are better. The house is a 2000 sq. ft., 3 bed, 3 bath and impeccably styled & detailed: wide-plank hardwood floors, top of the line kitchen and baths, shutters, french doors, incredible stone fireplace, mahogany deck, covered porch, gunite pool, 2 car garage. They've got almost an acre. It's really mint. If i had to criticize this house for the sake of editorial integrity, i'd say it probably should be 1,000 sq. ft. bigger. Otherwise, checking out the comps in Springs, you can find bigger houses in this price range but not nicer ones. So if you've got a small family and want to live like the Hamptons in this price range, this is the way to go. Listing with Allan Schneider.

Our desire to fit a gunite pool in the back yard entailed an assessment of the septic system. We needed to determine the make-up and location of the Cess and it's Overflow pools to learn whether they could simply be moved or would need an upgrade and a move. At first, we were told that we would need Health Department approval to move a cesspool and install a swimming pool. (in this case, an 8x10 ft. "plunge pool".) Fortunately, this information was incorrect; we only needed a certified septic tank company to perform the work within Sag Harbor Village code, assuming that we had adequate space for all of the setback and footprint requirements. Once we determined that we did have room, our septic tank guys dug up the lawn to further their due diligence.
