of

Real Estate Showcase.

Featured on this month’s front cover, C21 Albertson Realty presents a

soundfront

beach

retreat

in

Jamesport. With a bird’s eye view all the way to Connecticut, this classic North Fork beach cottage boasts sunset views from nearly every room.

Set on over one elevated acre, it features a private staircase to your own sequestered sandy beach. Don’t miss this opportunity to live the ultimate North Fork waterfront lifestyle in this exceptional home.

This being our “Waterfront Living” issue, Rachel Bosworth takes a closer look at one of the major draws to living on the North Fork in “Not Just for Summer” (page 36). What used to be a very seasonal destination in years past, has now become year-round for many, due in large part to all of the waterfront activities to be found on our bays, creeks and sound. Waterfront properties on the North Fork can still be found for under $1 million, which is a bargain compared to the South Fork. So, whether you live here full-time or own a second home that you use as often as possible, the pristine waters of the North Fork are always here for your enjoyment.

Also in this issue, be sure to check out Ruth Thomas’ “Best Deals,” for some great North Fork real estate values currently on the market; Sam Watson’s “Riverhead Renaissance,” featuring the brand new Preston House and Hotel in the revitalized downtown area; Samantha McConnell’s “Pure and Simple,” featuring Shelter Island artist Kathryn Lynch’s “representational simplist” paintings; Rachel Bosworth’s “Maintaining Charm & History,” highlighting the unique allure of wonderful Shelter Island; “A Day With,” our ongoing broker showcase series, featuring veteran Douglas Elliman broker Jill Dunbar; “Hello, Summer” for some great summer finds to help you optimize the season; and “Sound Bytes” for the latest on what’s happening here on the North Fork.

Enjoy the issue!

Jill Dunbar

BY KATHY SILVANOVICH

Jill Dunbar of Douglas Elliman Real Estate is a devoted North Forker who is especially attuned to what’s happening in the neighborhood. A top producer for many years, Jill knows this territory and is a savvy and steady guide in the world of buying and selling. In the past Jill co-founded New York’s Three Lives & Company, still one of the city’s best independent bookstores. As with books, her specialty is putting people and properties together, and then making everything fall into place. I sat down with Jill over coffee at Aldo’s in Greenport to get to know her better and see what makes her tick!

Shelter Island MAINTAINING CHARM & HISTORY

BY RACHEL BOSWORTH

E

ncompassed in 29 square miles, more than half of which is water, Shelter Island may be the East End’s most geographically intriguing with its mix of woodlands, salt

marshes, fresh and saltwater ponds, beaches, and elevated hills in an otherwise flat landscape. Preservation of land and culture has been critical to the close-knit community of 2,400 yearround residents on the island, whose population is five times as much in the summer. Rife with history, natural in its beauty and relaxed in atmosphere, Shelter Island has maintained its simple way of life, which is why so many have sought paradise here.

The peaceful Manhanset tribe inhabited the “island

sheltered by islands” until the mid-1650s when English settlers planted roots of their own. History is immortalized today with the Shelter Island Historical Society and its Havens House Museum, and Sylvester Manor Educational Farm. Described

by The Nature Conservancy as “a museum of life in progress,” Mashomack Preserve is a 2,000-acre sanctuary for protected ecosystems. The coastal nature preserve offers five public land trails and one marine water trail with 20 miles of varying lengths and difficulty. Stick to the trails to explore nature at its best while respecting the flora and fauna inhabiting this peaceful preserve.

It is this peace and quiet that has long served as an

attraction to second homeowners seeking the East End lifestyle but without the dense traffic and fuss of the North Fork and Hamptons. The real estate market on Shelter Island had a slow start this year, much of which may be weather related with a lot of rainy weekends early on. Though later in the season, activity is picking up and the island is now chock full of people.

Linda McCarthy, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, says most of what is moving are waterfront properties in the $1.5 – 2.2 million range and some below that price point. “Inventory is fairly low below the million-dollar mark,” she shares. “That’s driving prices a little bit. Lower end properties are able to ask for a little bit more. A big change is people are mostly buying homes that are

For the active – and those that wish to be – Shelter Island Pilates and Barre is an ideal place to take a journey to your core with group and private Pilates, yoga and barre classes. Founder and owner Suzette Smith guides students in connecting mind, body, and spirit through thoughtful and powerful workouts.

Shelter Island is slowly starting to follow

suit of its neighboring East End towns. “There is more of a year-round population with a younger generation buying more homes and they’re coming here on weekends and holidays throughout the year,” McCarthy explains. “It’s an escape. It is a place to come for peace.”

ARTIST “I often paint night,” she says, remarking on how the light diffuses. “East Coast light especially always has a softness to it where things kind of melt into each other.”

While some have labeled her oeuvre “Expressionist,”

she

and

her

friends

have coined a term they find more fitting: “Repstract” — a marriage of representational and abstract.

She enjoys the quiet of working on Shelter Island, but mostly she appreciates the art community there where she communes with such other artists as painter Margaret Garrett and photographer Jackie Black. “It’s such a solitary profession that it’s great to put down your brush and be with other people doing what you’re doing.”

A glimpse of her work immediately summons up an impression of Fairfield Porter or Milton Avery. The latter, she says, “is a perfect example of how good simple can be.”

As for other “dead” influences she cites Alice Neel, Charles Burchfield, Arthur Dove and even Goya. She has also been influenced by such contemporary luminaries as Lois Dodd

There is also access to waterfronts

through private association beaches in some areas, with homes available for $500 – 600K. Szynaka notes that the North Fork used to be a seasonal second home from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The influx of agritainment has extended the season through October, and the Long Island Wine Council has made it desirable for people to visit the East End in the winter months with special events. Today, the area quiets down after January and picks up again mid-March.

“In addition to the waterfront drawing

favorited seafood dishes next to the marina at Salt.

Being near the water is one thing, being

on it is another. For Captain Will Lieblein, general manager of Port of Egypt, his family’s business has long endeavored to get people out on the water regardless of the vessel.

“We want to make it possible for people to go boating and experience the benefits of spending time on the water, even if they don’t own a boat,” Lieblein says. “We’re totally excited about Boating with Bill, a program we’ve recently introduced that offers free boat handling lessons with my father from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Saturday in July.”

Port of Egypt Marine first opened in

1946 as a fishing station on Southold Bay with founding brothers William Sr., Herb, and Herman Lieblein at the helm. They began selling Grady-White boats in 1960, becoming the world’s oldest Grady-White dealer. With the third generation of the family now on board, the full-service marina aims to share the joys of boating and fishing on the North Fork.

“Our new Grady-White Experiences are

all about carefree getaways on the bay with a licensed captain at the helm,” Lieblein shares.

“These private cruises are totally customizable — fishing lessons, guided tours, sunset toasts, dinner and lunch cruises. We’re hosting lots of events for boaters, too, like fireworks flotillas, a Poker Run and a follow the leader trip to Block Island. It’s going to be a great summer.”

The full waterfront experience is a

combination of long afternoons spent on Long Island Sound and bay beaches, navigating various waterways by boat, paddle boarding and kayaking adventures, and businesses that speak to the coastal lifestyle. Whether you live here full-time, own a second home, or hope to one day get your piece of the North Fork, its pristine waters are here to enjoy regardless of season.
