House proud
Built in 1991 and recently updated from top to bottom, this light-filled one-story house on a cul de sac offers easy access to the North Fork at an attractive price.
“This is an emerging area in the western portion of the North Fork that has really started to gain a foothold in popularity,” says Scott Bennett, the Douglas Elliman agent representing the listing.
“This is in a quiet community of about 25 homes with a large backyard.” He says with an oversized, private back yard, the home awaits a buyer to maximize its entertainment potential with a patio and pool.
What’s the plan?
An archway separates the living room from the open format dining area and eat-in kitchen, where sliding doors open onto the large backyard. One of the three bedrooms is ensuite with a new soaking tub/shower. The second bathroom, with common access, has a walk-in shower and bench.
What’s cooking?
The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, white subway tiles, pretty slate-blue cabinetry and white countertops. There is ample work and storage space, and enough room to use as an eat-in kitchen, as is its current configuration, or add a center work station.
What else?
The covered front porch can fit a couple of chairs and small cocktail or bistro table. There is a large, private fenced-in yard and a one-car attached garage. A fire pit in the back yard makes for a cozy evenings under the wide-open sky.
Agent’s callout
“One of the challenges on the North Fork for first time buyers or people looking to buy a second home is finding something so turn key under $800,000,” Bennett says. This home is both, plus easy access to a water lifestyle, near the marinas and boat launches. “If you are a boater, it’s easy to connect to that world,” he says. “You’re close to so much and yet have a world of your own.”
