Wondering what your budget can get you on the red-hot North Fork real estate market? We’re here to help, home buyers. In our new biweekly column, we’re spotlighting homes for sale in hamlets across the North Fork at various price points.
If you crave the smell of chlorine in your hair more than the feel of sand in your toes, then this edition is for you, because we’re talking all about homes with a pool. In these socially distant times, pools have become one of the most desirable features among North Fork home buyers, and these are some special ones. Swim year-round in an indoor/outdoor pool in Baiting Hollow, cool off with an in-deck plunge pool in Jamesport or soak in the sunset from your beachfront pool in Riverhead: Whichever you choose, make sure to invite us over when the paperwork is signed.
Here’s what’s on offer with a unique pool and how much it might cost you.
