Property Description

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Port Jefferson history. Originally built in 1890 for renowned sea captain Llewellyn Tuthill, this exceptional residence has been thoughtfully maintained and tastefully updated while honoring the craftsmanship and architectural character of its era. Set back and elevated above the roadway, the home commands attention with its stately presence and inviting wraparound porch. Inside, timeless period details abound, including soaring 10-foot ceilings, original custom woodwork, wide-plank flooring, antique push-button switches, decorative hardware, and beautifully restored cast-iron radiators. Stunning original pocket doors gracefully separate the living room from the entrance hallway, adding both architectural elegance and functional design rarely found today. Modern improvements blend seamlessly with the historic charm and include radiant heated flooring in the bathroom, a finished attic offering flexible bonus space, a newer roof, rebuilt chimneys, and a refinished fireplace. Ideally situated in the Historic Village of Port Jefferson, just moments from the harbor, village shops, dining, and amenities, and located within the highly regarded Port Jefferson School District—this is a truly special offering where history, character, and lifestyle come together.
