Dating back to the original 1871 layout of the Shelter Island Grove and Camp Meeting Association, Spring Garden Avenue is celebrated for its organic, rolling streetscapes and preserved 19th-century architecture. 5 Spring Garden Avenue is an authentic 1880 Victorian residence that embodies the classic style of the era, from its steeply pitched rooflines to its expansive exterior woodwork.
The interior layout is expansive and true to its vintage, characterized by distinctive octagonal rooms on both the first and second floors. With five bedrooms, a sprawling third-floor attic loft, and a substantial footprint of covered decks and porches, the home offers a generous canvas within a historic setting.
A significant structural update was completed in 2008, replacing the older foundation with a new poured concrete basement and structural footings, alongside the installation of a new roof. Featuring full access to the Shelter Island Heights Association tennis courts and beach club, this property represents an authentic piece of island history.
