Originally built in 1874, the “Captain Thorp House” is one of the most iconic homes in the village. Set back from historic Pequot Avenue, the home has undergone various thoughtful renovations over time, most notably by Cameron Clark in the early 1900’s. 916 Pequot encompasses the features that were often found in captain’s home of this era including vastly high ceilings, extensive molding and millwork, gracious formal spaces and numerous fireplaces. The current owners have undergone significant renovations during their ownership including restoration of the entire property including new plantings, hardscape, trees, lighting etc making it a true private oasis. Other improvements include kitchen refresh, whole interior and exterior painting, replacement of various mechanicals and AV upgrades. 916 Pequot is now the perfect combination of old and new, all within a short stroll to Southport Beach, charming Southport Village and Metro North. This is a home that must be seen in person to fully appreciate.
