House proud
Full of light and featuring carefully thought-out finishes by a team of brother builders, this two-story home has modern rustic details such as exposed wooden beams and wide-plank floors, shiplap walls and sleek, modern fixtures.
“I’ve been following this builder for 15+ years and he always strikes me as a perfectionist with every detail done properly,” says Scott Bennett, the Douglas Elliman agent who is representing the listing with Rene Giacobbe. “He does all the work with his brother and they’re so diligent about the quality of their product. They take a while to build a home, so that before it changes hands, everything is done beyond expectation.”
What’s the plan?
Entered via a covered “rocking chair” front porch, the first floor features a generous, light-filled open format for the living and dining rooms and kitchen, and 10-foot high ceilings. The living area features a sleek gas fireplace, flanked by doors leading to a covered patio. The front-facing corner bedroom is ensuite. The second floor is devoted to the other four bedrooms: a 375-square-foot ensuite primary bedroom with nearly 12-foot-high ceilings and three others ranging in size from 138 to 231 square feet, and which share a full bathroom adjacent to all. The basement is unfinished, with three areas dedicated to storage, high ceilings and three egresses, offering potential for other living space.
What’s cooking?
The 280-square-foot kitchen features custom cabinetry topped with quartz counters, and a center island that seats four. The appliance suite includes a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a separate beverage cooler. The 30-square-foot pantry is close by in the hallway near the laundry room and a half bath.
What else?
There is ample storage under the two-car garage.

One cool thing
The home is in the Baywoods private waterfront community as well as the Wells Creek Association, both of which offer deeded deep water docking with direct access to the Peconic Bay.
Agent’s callout
“This location is very desirable—peace and quiet with no traffic cut-throughs,” says Bennett. Aquebogue, he says, “offers a manageable commute to the city and with shortcuts, so you can sidestep all the traffic on a Friday night and be home for dinner.”
Location, location, location
The home is 2.3 miles from Jamesport and about four miles from Riverhead. Nearby are Indian Island County Park and golf course, the David A. Sarnoff Preserve and Maple Swamp County Park.
