Property Description

More than a home, this beautifully restored farmhouse is a living piece of Long Island history. Lovingly cared for by four generations of the same farming family, it reflects the character, resilience, and heritage that helped shape the community. Today, the great-grandchildren of the original owners have thoughtfully reimagined the home, preserving its timeless charm while introducing the modern updates today’s buyers desire.

Located in the highly sought-after Half Hollow Hills East School District, this expanded rear-dormered Cape sits on an oversized 100′ x 140′ lot—approximately one-third of an acre—a rare offering in today’s market.

Perfectly positioned to benefit from Melville’s exciting Main Street revitalization, this home offers more than exceptional living—it presents a remarkable investment opportunity. The planned transformation into a vibrant downtown featuring restaurants, boutique shopping, residential living, and community gathering spaces is expected to increase demand, strengthen property values, and enhance long-term growth.

Completely move-in ready, the home has been extensively renovated throughout with new flooring, beautifully updated bathrooms, modern fixtures, and efficient three-zone heating. A fully finished basement adds valuable living space, ideal for entertaining, recreation, a home office, gym, or guest quarters.

Offering five spacious bedrooms, two updated full baths, and four separate exterior entrances, the flexible layout easily accommodates multigenerational living, a home-based business, or rental opportunities. A legal second-floor accessory apartment provides built-in income potential or private living space for extended family, while the finished basement with its own private entrance adds even greater versatility.

Outside, functionality meets convenience with a deep 1.5-car garage featuring loft storage, an oversized driveway accommodating up to 11 vehicles, and a fully fenced backyard with a 12-foot access gate—perfect for contractors, boats, trailers, or recreational vehicles. Professionally landscaped grounds, an in-ground sprinkler system, a newer architectural roof, and remarkably low taxes further enhance the home’s exceptional value.

The expansive level property offers endless possibilities, whether you envision a pool, outdoor kitchen, resort-style backyard, or future expansion.

Conveniently located near major highways, shopping, parks, and public transportation, this one-of-a-kind property combines historic charm, modern updates, flexible living, income-producing potential, oversized grounds, abundant parking, and outstanding future appreciation.

Rarely does a home offer such a unique blend of legacy, lifestyle, and investment potential.

Honor the past.
Enjoy the present.
Invest in the future.

This is more than a home—it’s an opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of local history while securing your place in one of Long Island’s most promising futures.
