Sag Harbor Home for $10.5 Million

Joy Behar Lists Her Sag Harbor Home for $10.5 Million

Joy Behar, the Emmy Award-winning co-host of ABC-TV’s popular daytime talk show The View, is selling her Sag Harbor home of nearly a decade.

Home Details

The restored Victorian home, located at 98 Bay Street, is listed with Saunders & Associates’ Ed Gaetjens and John F. Wines and Bill Wines of the Wines Team for $10.5 million. The asking price is nearly two and a half times what she paid for it almost a decade ago.

Location

The 0.63-acre, manicured lot sits on the corner of High Street with the 4,500-square-foot home, boasting four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and five grand fireplaces, plus a pool and a guest house out back. The property is in the heart of the historic village, close to Havens Beach, the Sag Harbor Yacht Club, the marina, and the village shops and restaurants.

Interior Features

A 250-square-foot wraparound porch leads to light-filled interiors, "thoughtfully tailored for today’s discerning homeowner." The 2,279-square-foot first floor includes a chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, a spacious walk-in pantry, and even a fireplace. The formal dining room also boasts a fireplace, and the living room with plenty of natural light and access to the backyard, home to an 800-square-foot freeform pool surrounded by a bluestone patio and specimen trees for privacy.

Upper Level

Two elegant staircases ascend to the second floor with 1,660 square feet of sleeping chambers. The primary suite offers a fireplace, a spa-like en suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. Another generously sized en suite guest bedroom allows for privacy. Two additional guest bedrooms share a bathroom. It was in one of these guest bedrooms where Behar filmed The View during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guest House

To the rear of the property, there is a 980-square-foot cottage as an added place for guests. The studio boasts a fireplace, a loft, and a full bathroom.

Additional Features

Additionally, the 220-square-foot garage grants practicality without compromising aesthetics, maintaining the compound’s seamless design.

History

Behar purchased the home from Claudia Tachlich and her husband, Michael Taglich, the chairman and president of Taglich Brothers, a New York City-based securities firm, in 2016 for $4.75 million. The house wasn’t even for sale when Behar "fell in love with it," she told Behind The Hedges. "I was looking at the one next door, a brand new big house, that was too much money," she recalled. "I asked the broker, ‘Can you find out if he wants to sell this house?’ The owner said ‘Only at top dollar and as is.’ I took it."

Conclusion

Joy Behar’s Sag Harbor home is a true gem, blending Victorian charm with modern living. With its prime location, beautiful interior features, and stunning outdoor spaces, it’s no wonder she’s had so many wonderful memories here.
