About This Home

Discover a rare and compelling offering on Shelter Island where historic character and modern sophistication exist in perfect harmony. 7 Stearns Point Road presents a unique opportunity to live expansively-either as a private family compound or as an owner-occupied five-bedroom Bed & Breakfast. Originally dating to 1902 and thoughtfully reimagined for today's standards, the residence is set on 0.70 acres in the heart of Shelter Island Heights, just moments from Crescent Beach and Sunset Beach. Spanning approximately 5,838 square feet, with an additional 2,588-square-foot full-height basement, the home seamlessly blends timeless architectural details with contemporary comfort. Arranged across two distinct structures connected by a covered breezeway, the property's nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms are thoughtfully distributed between the original Annex-offering seven bedrooms-and a recently completed extension featuring two additional ensuite bedrooms. The new wing is further distinguished by a dramatic double-height living area and a dedicated wellness room, equally suited for private residential use or boutique hospitality. Generous entertaining spaces include two living rooms and a well-equipped kitchen designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger-scale hosting. Outdoors, the grounds evoke a private resort atmosphere, featuring a heated 40' x 18' gunite pool, mature landscaping, and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining. Two separate driveways provide added convenience and privacy for owners and guests alike. With zoning and approvals allowing for an owner-occupied five-bedroom Bed & Breakfast, along with the benefit of an existing liquor license for guest use, the property offers a rare level of versatility. Whether envisioned as a legacy family retreat, a refined island escape, or a boutique hospitality venture, the possibilities are both flexible and compelling.
