Property Description

Own a true piece of American history with this charming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Sears & Roebuck Mitchell Cape, originally built in 1935 and thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. Nestled on a sizable private property in Center Moriches, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare blend of timeless character, modern improvements, and an outdoor setting that is simply unforgettable.
Inside, the home’s architectural character is immediately apparent. High ceilings, generous windows, and an abundance of natural light create a bright, airy feel that is rarely found in homes of this era. The craftsmanship and detailing woven throughout reflect a time when homes were built with care and intention, giving the property a warmth and authenticity that simply cannot be replicated. The renovated kitchen and updated baths, completed in 2021, provide the style and functionality today’s buyers seek while remaining true to the home’s historic charm. Significant improvements include a new burner, water heater, and updated electrical service completed in 2020, a 30-year architectural roof installed in 2014, and a freshly painted exterior completed in 2025.
The property’s true magic unfolds outdoors. An inground pool creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while generous lawn space invites recreation and gatherings. Beyond the lawn, a wooded retreat awaits, where winding trails lead through the landscape to Senix Creek. Along the way, hidden seating areas offer peaceful places to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural surroundings. At the water’s edge, a bulkhead and boathouse provide a unique connection to the creek and endless opportunities to embrace the waterfront lifestyle.
Rich in history, full of character, and offering a setting that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything Center Moriches has to offer, this is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a rare opportunity to own one of the area’s truly special properties.
