During the Prohibition era, the rum-running (aka bootlegging) owner of 208 Main St. in Sag Harbor Village used to bottle booze on his property, which he stored in a garage built specifically for that purpose, says broker Judi Desiderio of Town & Country, who is listing the home with Pamela Walsh.

The garage, which now holds two cars, is still on the grounds of the five-bedroom, four-bathroom spread.

The whole shebang is now listed for $4.52 million.

Over 3,000 square feet, the gut-renovated home — built around 1920, the year Prohibition began — features a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room and an eat-in chef’s kitchen.

Outside, there’s a pool and a cabana, all on 0.63 acres.
