There’s a little bit of magic in every Sag Harbor home. But when that magic is combined with a liberal sprinkling of design fairy dust from an actual HGTV personality, well, just try not to fall under its spell.

This gracious house — 83 Northside Drive in Sag Harbor’s exclusive Northside Hills community — was designed and decorated by actor/producer Ricky Paull Goldin, a daytime-television megastar (“Another World,” “Guiding Light,” “All My Children,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”) who hosted HGTV’s “Spontaneous Construction” series, which also aired on the DIY Network.

Listed at $1.525 million, the home offers 3,000 square feet of indoor living, with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, plus extensive outdoor living space that includes multiple decks and alfresco dining areas, a pool and a hot tub. “I designed it all myself,” Goldin says. “I picked every tile and fixture. If I ever can’t make a decision, I run it by Gretta — I love her taste.” That would be his partner, Gretta Monahan, a fashion-and-beauty guru who often makes appearances on “The View” as the show’s lifestyle expert.

An ongoing “porthole” theme, including round mirrors in the bathrooms and actual vintage porthole windows along the walkway to the pool’s shower area, stems from Goldin’s love of sailing. “I am a boater and have redone several classic boats,” he says. “When I saw these portholes in my friend Randy’s shop, Black Swan Antiques in Sag Harbor, I grabbed them and had them installed poolside that same day.”

While it’s set on a full acre of land for utmost privacy, the home is also close to all amenities. “Northside Hills is located on the western side of Sag Harbor,” says co-listing agent Nicole Tunick. “So you get the Sag Harbor school district, and for that matter Sag Harbor ‘bragging rights,’ but you also get the extra bonus of being minutes to Bridgehampton, Water Mill and Southampton, making it an extremely convenient location.”

“Ricky has great vision,” says Tunick of Goldin’s design style. “This home is a fun, youthful spin on today’s contemporary.” Of course, a little bit of TV magic doesn’t hurt, either.
