MAIN HOUSE: 

-As Christoher Pagliaro would quote, "the design concept was addition by subtraction". We removed 

many interior walls to create a more open floor plan and better overall flow for the house. 

-Everything in the house was replaced included plumbing, electrical etc. Besides the main structural 

framing, nothing else remained. 

-Framing: Although the main structure was left intact, we reframed and reinforced all new window and 

door openings to accept the steel and aluminum European Window package from Klar Studios

additional square footage added from our renovation

Originally the 3 from was not connected, we added dormers to make it a fully functioning 3rd story

the original home in terms of electrical.

many light switches and can be controlled remotely

*DENOTES OTH REPRESENTING BOTH BUYER & SELLER

Southport 

IN THE 1700S, MILL RIVER VILLAGE WAS A SMALL HAMLET OF A FEW HOUSES AND A 

WHARF AT THE MOUTH OF FAIRFIELD’S MILL RIVER. BY 1831 THE VILLAGE HAD CHANGED 

ITS NAME TO SOUTHPORT AND WAS A BUSTLING COMMERCIAL AREA WITH WAREHOUSES, 

CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, STORES, AND ELEGANT HOUSES. 

SOUTHPORT BECAME A LEADING COASTAL PORT ON LONG ISLAND SOUND, ITS SHIPS 

CARRYING PRODUCE AND GOODS BACK AND FORTH TO NEW YORK CITY. A MEASURE OF 

ITS SUCCESS IS THE FACT THAT THROUGHOUT THE 1800S IT POSSESSED THE ONLY TWO 

BANKS IN TOWN. HOWEVER, COMPETITION FROM STEAMBOATS AND THE RAILROAD TOOK 

ITS TOLL ON PROSPERITY. RESOURCEFUL SHIPPERS TEAMED WITH LOCAL FARMERS AND 

BUSINESSMEN TO KEEP THE PORT GOING; THE SOUTHPORT ONION, A HIGH-QUALITY 

ONION WAS DEVELOPED AND GROWN ON FAIRFIELD’S HILLS AND SHIPPED IN 

SOUTHPORT MARKET BOATS, KEEPING THE HARBOR PROFITABLE UNTIL THE END OF THE 

CENTURY. 

TODAY, MUCH OF THE OLD VILLAGE AREA IS PART OF AN HISTORIC DISTRICT, WHERE 

BUILDINGS FROM THREE CENTURIES ARE PROTECTED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
