The next Hamptons Cottages and Gardens Idea House will be green, thanks to Peter Sabbeth. He and wife, decorator Melissa Green, own Sag Harbor-based Modern Green Home, which they started almost two years ago, according to an article in the East Hampton Star. The Sagaponack farmhouse was built in 1860, and is being completely renovated with “a very, very modern addition onto the back of it.” The house was once owned by author James Jones, who wrote “From Here to Eternity.” “It’s going to be the first ecologically friendly designer showhouse in the Northeast,” Sabbeth said. When done, the house will be 6,300 square feet, with a 2,700-square-foot finished basement.
