Greenport, a bustling village on the North Fork of Long Island, was once a whaling and fishing hub, and is now a popular weekend spot for people based in New York City. In recent years, the village has seen an influx of year-round residents, drawn by the quirky shops and casual restaurants and breweries, many of which have water views.
This property is less than half a mile from the center of town, and about the same distance from the train station, where the Long Island Rail Road transports passengers to Penn Station in a little under three hours. By car, the trip takes about two and a half hours, depending on traffic.
Size: 4,000 square feet
Price per square foot: $325
Indoors: This home was once divided into two units, although the sellers use it as a single-family house. It has two entrances, both set on the wraparound porch.
The main entrance leads to a foyer with a high ceiling. To the left is a living room with a chandelier and tall windows facing the front yard. A door connects this space to the dining room, which is open to a kitchen with a butcher-block island and sliding-glass doors out to the porch.
To the right of the foyer is a second living room with a sitting area and an open kitchen. The kitchen in this part of the house is newer, with a white subway-tile backsplash. Also on this side of the house is a full bathroom.
The main staircase leads from the foyer to the second floor, where there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a vintage wood vanity and black-and-white tile floors and the other finished with white subway tile.
Outdoor space: The wraparound porch is large enough to hold a bench and a swing, and is a comfortable spot for outdoor dining in the warmer months. The yard surrounding the house is grassy and private, thanks to high hedges. The detached garage has one parking spot.
