House proud
Built in the 1920, this classic beach bungalow on the Peconic Bay has been weatherized to be a year-round home with a new, energy-efficient electric heat pump and central air conditioning system. It offers unobstructed views over the bay from the deck, sunroom and the sandy beach in front.

What’s the plan?
The one-story floor plan offers easy indoor/outdoor living with all three bedrooms on one side of the house and the other side devoted to a 220-square-foot living room with a fireplace and the eat-in kitchen. Accessed through the living room, the 290-square-foot sun room is large enough for a dining area and a family area, and features glass windows on all sides.

What’s cooking?
The 13.7 x 19.5 eat-in kitchen has counter seating for two, and a pantry area with a butcher block counter and glass-paned upper cabinets.
What else?
The original hardwood flooring throughout the home has been refinished. The owners built a new detached three-car garage with unfinished flexible space on the second floor that has potential for adapting to other use. Exterior updates include a new eco-friendly recycled concrete aggregate driveway, refurbished bulkhead and new stone steps to the beach.

One cool thing
With its windowed upper level, and a small balcony, the new garage offers bonus space as a recreational room or overflow for guests.
Agent’s callout
“This home has the charming vibes of a 1920 bungalow updated to today’s standards,” says Kristy Naddell, the Douglas Elliman agent representing the listing. “You really don’t get a better authentic North Fork beach house than this.”
Location, location, location
This all-season beach bungalow is nearly equidistant from the center of Jamesport (1.5 miles) and South Jamesport. Laurel is 2.1 miles away. Not that you need it, with your own stretch of beach, but South Jamesport Beach is .6 miles from the home, with tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a playground, gazebo, and a seasonal refreshments stand.
