House proud
Built in 1967, the home has undergone a renovation that modernized the space and updated the home with stylish finishes. The home is ringed with specimen trees, flowering plants, sea grass and blooming shrubs such as lilacs, daisies, sea grass and hydrangeas in three shades: blue, pink and white.
“It’s a park-like idyllic setting and feels like a country estate,” says Christine Peddy, the agent who is co-listing the property with Susan Orioli at Engel & Völkers.
What’s the plan?
The home is entered through a columned porch into a center foyer that leads to a hallway running the width of the house. The common rooms, which include the living and family rooms, a dining room and the kitchen, spur off the hallway, as do two bedrooms. The family room has a wine fridge and dry service area and French doors lead to the back yard. This floor has two full bathrooms with hallway access. The second floor includes the other two bedrooms, one of which is the 385-square-foot primary, a full bathroom and ample attic space. The basement level is 767 square feet of unfinished space and half bath, with access to the garage.
The seller completely finished the attic space as a bonus room, with new white walls and hardwood floors. Peddy says, “It could be a perfect office, gym or nice room for storage.”
What’s cooking?
The white-on-white, 84-square-foot kitchen features shaker cabinetry with brass hardware and fixtures, custom quartz countertops from a Brooklyn design shop, a farmhouse sink and a “smart” stainless steel appliance suite. The center island seats two, and there’s additional space in the 74-square foot dining nook for a table.
What else?
There is a deeded private beach and access to a second private park with tennis and basketball courts. The 16 x 32 swimming pool in the backyard has been newly relined.

One cool thing
The bathrooms were renovated with a variety of mixed metals, giving a stylish, finished look to each. The upstairs bathroom has a stand up tile shower built around a window, offering, Peddy says, “the best view in the house.”
Agent’s callout
“This is a turnkey home with fine craftsmanship on the inside that you don’t see in a lot of older homes,” Peddy says. On the outside, she says the grand Greek columns and the house’s position on a hill, “is almost traffic stopping—you can’t help but stop look at this house. It definitely stands out as a unique, special property and not typical of the North Fork.”
Location, location, location
The home is 2.1 miles from the center of Mattituck, .3 miles from Bailie Beach Park and 4.7 miles from Breakwater Beach around the inlet. The nearby Landcraft Garden Foundation features tours, sculpture installations and yoga in the garden, offers public programming centered around horticulture, an open air movie night and dance performances.
