Southport, Conn. – December 12, 2016 – William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that the company will be hosting an open house at its newly renovated Southport on the Harbor brokerage on December 16, 2016 from 4-7 PM. The office, located at 251 Main Street, will welcome visitors for a tour of the refurbished historic building, and an opportunity to meet agents from its Southport team.
William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty began operating from the 251 Main Street location in August 2015, when it acquired the assets of the reputable firm Nicholas H. Fingelly Real Estate. The historic building, which has long been considered a local landmark, has served as a real estate brokerage since it was purchased in the early 1980s by the founder of Nicholas H. Fingelly Real Estate, who spent 18 months rebuilding and restoring the original façade before opening it for business. In fact, the name Fingelly was often associated with the preservation of traditional local architecture as purchasing, renovating while maintaining historic integrity, and then reselling both residential and commercial properties were a significant part of the company’s business.
William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty President and CEO Paul Breunich stated that the company embarked on the restoration of 251 Main Street to pay tribute to Southport’s unique and rich architectural heritage, demonstrating the company’s own commitment to historic preservation while ensuring that the building continues to maintain its architectural integrity for years to come.
“Our upcoming open house event is a wonderful opportunity for the community to check out the new space, and meet our dedicated team of sales professionals,” said Brian A. Clarke Jr., manager of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty’s Southport brokerage. “We are proud of our renovation, which pays great respect to the structure’s rich history, and cordially invite all to attend this exciting evening affair.”
The December 16th open house event is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
