N O RT H F O R K M A R K E T WAT C H While Washington struggles to get its “fiscal house” in order, Americans are making progress on their “own houses” as they are finally seeing a steady recovery in the housing market. By all accounts, prices have bottomed out, unemployment is dropping, the economy is picking up, builders are back in business, interest rates are low, there is less inventory on the market with a drop in foreclosures, new home sales and prices are rising and people are realizing that the time to buy is now. The housing market in 2013 is predicted to come back stronger than 24

ever since the recession of 2008. Nowhere is this trend more evident than in the sleepy beach towns all along the North Fork of Long Island, a coastal area that stretches from Riverhead in the West all the way to Orient Point on the northeasterly tip. Known for its charming vineyards, bucolic farmlands, quiet beaches, magnificent sunsets and idyllic towns, the North Fork of Long Island is slowly coming into its own. Sheri Winter Clarry of Corcoran in Southold describes the North Fork as “Napa Valley meets the beach.” She says, “People are flocking out here to

taste the award-winning wines from the many local vineyards, eat the locally grown food prepared at the hottest restaurants exploding all across the area, enjoy the cultural and artistic events, and experience the beauty and tranquility of the area.” As she exclaims, “The North Fork in general is a trend!” Marie Beninati of Beninati Associates in Southold says that, “Compared to the Hamptons, where there is more inventory and more risk takers, the North Fork has less inventory and very few foreclosures.” She believes “The North Fork is

postured to do well in 2013 as buyers are recognizing that prices are good, interest rates are low, and now is the time to act. Sellers are realizing that inventory is low, sales have picked up, and now is the time to put their homes on —Sheri Winter Clarry the market.” Judi Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate states, “The North Fork saw a 23.6% rise in the number of sales and a 15.5% increase in total home sales volume, yet a 2.4% dip in the median home sale price from 2011 to 2012.” She says, “The floor, from which the next rise occurs, is firmly in place. For now that means prices stopped their

descent in early 2012.” Karla Dennehy of Douglas Elliman in Mattituck “was very busy through December 2012.” She feels, “with low interest rates and prices stabilizing, it is a wonderful time to buy and waterfront is still very popular, especially with second-home buyers.” She predicts “a very positive and solid 2013 on the North Fork.” Suzanne Hahn of Brown Harris Stevens in Greenport notes that, “The North Fork has always been very aggressive about preserving land ever since the 1974 Suffolk County Farmland Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) Program, the Nation’s first program to preserve farmland. Together with the Town of Southold f e b r ua ry 2 0 1 3

With its abundance of beautiful beaches from the Sound to the Bay, glorious vineyards, preserved farmland, four star restaurants, art galleries and trendy boutiques, the North Fork is poised to make a remarkable recovery in 2013.

Overview: Founded in 1998, Mark Schwartz & Associates is an architectural firm specializing in new construction, additions and alterations to existing commercial and residential living spaces. The firm has designed and developed some of the premier properties on the North Fork, and Mr. Schwartz is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and the Southold Architectural Review Committee. Q: What is your firm’s typical style? A: “Well, I think most of our projects would be considered traditional shingle-style, you know, the ‘Hamptons Style’ home. We also work in the Craftsman style quite a bit, though we do often evolve both approaches to a more modern sensibility.” Q: Do you have a particular area of expertise? A: “We do quite a bit of waterfront work – between the Bay, the Sound and all of the creeks and waterways here on the North Fork, there really is a lot of opportunity to build a great home on the water. I also find us working more and more with clients who have irregularly shaped lots to develop, but still want a home that works well aesthetically, as opposed to one that’s really too big, or the wrong footprint for the

setting. Really, how the home is situated on the lot is incredibly important, so we pay a lot of attention to placement, and especially how light will impact the home over the course of the day.” Q: We hear a lot about Green Homebuilding these days – what’s your take? A: “Well, if you look back at houses built, say, in the 19th Century, they made remarkably efficient use of space and energy due to practical necessity; everything from lower ceilings to root cellars have parallels to today’s energy-conservative approaches. We incorporate the logic behind this approach in a modern way. Plus, a well-considered approach tends to contribute more to a home’s value over the long haul than does the trend of the moment.”

FAMILY TRADITION Whether building a new home or renovating an existing one, there is one common theme associated with the project’s overall success, which construction firm to hire? One company synonymous with high end custom home building on the North Fork is Seifert Construction. A family owned and operated company that has been in business for over 65 years. As Fred Seifert Jr. explains, “The secret to our company’s longevity is our passion for what we do. We are 100% dedicated to each and every project.” Now in their 3rd generation, Seifert Construction is considered one of the premier high-end custom home builders on the East End. Seifert Brothers was established in 1945 by brothers George and Frederick “Fritz” Seifert. The company was based in Rockaway and focused on custom copper work for the “Gold Coast” estates. Seifert Brothers changed to Seifert Construction in 1959 by Fritz’s son, Frederick. It was during this time that the company expanded into all phases of custom carpentry and high-end home building.

Today, Fred, Sr. is still active in the company, but his two sons, Fred and John, continue the Seifert legacy of providing their customers outstanding quality and service. The company is now based in Mattituck and has been building high-end custom homes on the North Fork for over 15 years. The company just recently finished construction of their new 4000 sq. ft. office/mill shop on Old Sound Avenue in Mattituck. The facility houses the office operations,a showroom,a conference room and state-of-the-art cabinet shop headed by Fred Sr. Although the company is well known for many of the highend residential construction projects around town, one of the more visible projects they recently completed was the major renovation of Legends Restaurant in New Suffolk. For more information, visit their website and see why so many of their clients have said that, “choosing Seifert Construction was the best decision we ever made.” Seifert Construction 631.298.1036 www.seifertconstruction.com

When thinking about the 60 or so wineries dotted across the North Fork and in the Hamptons, it should be no surprise that the inclusion of wine cellars is a “must have” feature on the rise in a ‘wine country’ home. It is no question that visiting one of the many East End wineries like Bedell Cellars, Martha Clara Vineyards, or Palmer Vineyards on the North Fork and Duck Walk Vineyards, Wolffer Estate Vineyards, or Channing Daughters Winery in the Hamptons is always a memorable time. Many wine connoisseurs are taking advantage of the rising trend and enjoying the benefits of hosting their own wine tasting parties in a custom crafted wine cellar. Demand for wine cellars over the past few years is on the rise notes Phillip D. Kouffman, Vice President of MKL Construction. Typical clients spend $30,000 to $70,000, explains Kouffman, on a custom cellar with detailed paneling and climate-control built to hold 1,000 to 2,000 bottles. MKL has designed a wide variety of wine cellars, creating cellars that look like caves to cellars with stone walls and columns. The location of the cellar also differs depending on 34

N O R T H F O R K r e a l e s tat e s ho w c a s e

034NFRES_V1N1.indd 1

the client. Some wine cellars are on the main floor while the majority are located on the lower level of the home. MKL had a client who wanted to showcase the wine cellar and installed a glass floor/ceiling above so guests could stand on the main floor and see right through to the wine cellar. The most important feature to consider is creating the best climate-controlled condition for the wine. A very detailed lighting plan and very thick insulated glass keep condensation at bay which, Kouffman says, “is a real disaster.” If you can maintain a wine cellar and a collection to fill it,show it off. Mini-tasting rooms with comfortable seating within wine cellars are on the rise.This is a great option for people who entertain frequently and want an excuse to show off their wine collection. Wine cellars are no longer just for people with vintage or expensive wine collections. They are becoming the norm for people who like to regularly sit back and enjoy a glass of vino and have outgrown the under-counter wine refrigerators that hold a dozen or so bottles. Cheers!
