A Rare Opportunity with Endless Possibilities in Half Hollow Hills
Welcome to a truly exceptional and oversized 100 x 140 property (approx. 1/3 acre), located in one of Long Island’s most sought-after communities — within the prestigious Half Hollow Hills East School District. This home is more than just a structure; it’s steeped in the legacy of four generations of community building, neighborhood involvement, and local heritage. A unique blend of space, character, and long-term potential awaits.
Whether you're a homeowner seeking a flexible living setup, an investor looking for rental income, or a builder with vision, this property adapts to your goals with ease.
The expanded and rear-dormered Cape Cod-style home features 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of uses. With four separate exterior entrances, it's ideal for multi-generational living, income opportunities, or home-based businesses. A legal accessory apartment on the second floor adds valuable versatility — perfect for extended family or tenants. The full basement with high ceilings and a private entrance offers tremendous potential to be finished into a studio, office, gym, or recreation space.
Additional highlights include a deep 1.5-car attached garage with a soaring 14-foot gable roof and spacious loft storage, a fully fenced backyard with a 12-foot access gate, and an 11-car blacktop driveway — accommodating multiple vehicles, work trucks, or trailers with ease. The in-ground sprinkler system, new architectural roofing shingles, and very low taxes add comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.
The flat, deep lot is brimming with opportunity — whether you envision a luxurious backyard with a pool and outdoor kitchen, a full-scale renovation blending timeless charm with modern upgrades, or a custom new build tailored to your dreams.
Ideally positioned on a main street with quick access to highways, shopping, parks, and public transit, the property offers both convenience and tranquility — all within a school district renowned for academic achievement and exceptional extracurricular programs.
Homes offering this level of size, flexibility, location, and generational legacy are rare. Discover how this one-of-a-kind property can become the foundation for your next chapter — whether you're building, investing, or planting roots in a home that has long been part of the community’s fabric. Very Low Taxes!!!
