House proud
The original footprint of this home on Meetinghouse Creek is from 1935, but has been so consistently and meticulously updated, it seems like a new kid on the block. With windows galore and a curated entertainment space that flows from house to dock, the home offers seamless indoor/outdoor living.
What’s the plan?
The main floor features a bright and airy open-concept floor plan with a 400-square-foot living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that leads into a dining area of 108 square feet.
Douglas Elliman listing agent Patricia Shackel says with easy in/out access through sliders and the well-equipped patio kitchen, “the backyard is an extension of the indoor kitchen with great flow and seating for dining.” Also on this level is an ensuite bedroom of 153 square feet, and a second full bathroom. The upper level is dedicated to a primary ensuite bedroom of nearly 300 square feet with its own balcony, and a third guest room.
What’s cooking?
The 146-square-foot chef’s kitchen is equipped with high-end stainless-steel appliances, including a Viking range. The custom Shaker-style cabinetry is topped with three-inch quartz counters and backed with a textured glass backsplash along the stove. The island, which includes the sink and plenty of storage, seats four.
What else?
The seller of this home, at No. 81, also owns a one-bedroom cottage at No. 83, to be considered in a separate sale. With a full bath, laundry, dinng and living rooms and kitchen, it offers independent accommodations for guests.

One cool thing
The private dock is deep water and Meetinghouse Creek leads out to the Peconic Bay, so water and boating enthusiasts of all sorts can find a place to dock. “There’s plenty of room for toys,” says Shackel. Located in the Hoccabauk Park neighborhood, residents in this five-block enclave have access to a private beach.
Agent’s callout
Noting this is a cozy, social enclave without the HOA restrictions, Shackel says, “This is a very family- and pet-friendly neighborhood with community events, its own July 4 parade and socials on the beach.”
Location, location, location
This creek-side home is 1.3 miles to the town of Aquebogue, and 1.9 miles from Indian Island County Park. The adjacent golf course and the Peconic Estuary are another mile west.
