What the owner loves about this home
Welcome to 186 Green Street, a beautifully updated Cape Cod-style home nestled on a sunny corner lot in the sought after neighborhood of Valley Stream. On the market for the first time in over 40 years, this lovingly maintained home blends classic charm with thoughtful modern updates — a true must-see to fully appreciate its warmth and versatility.
Originally built in 1948 and fully renovated in 1996 with further updates in 2018, the home features an oversized eat-in kitchen filled with natural light from an east-facing bay window. With seating for three at the center island and room for a dining table of eight, this kitchen is perfect for casual meals or hosting friends and family. Its openness has lent itself to be the center of many a family party.
The spacious living room boasts soaring 10-foot ceilings and is flooded with sunlight thanks to the newly installed Pella windows (2025). The living room flows seamlessly to a formal dining area that can seat up to 14 guests, offering a rare blend of elegance and comfort for entertaining on any scale. It opens directly onto a fenced, tree-shaded backyard — ideal for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying quiet time with loved ones.
Upstairs and down, you'll find renovated bathrooms and a finished basement offering even more living space, a dedicated office, laundry room, and workshop. The home’s flexible layout has evolved over the years to meet the needs of our growing family, with space to adapt for work, play, or relaxation.
Located in a quiet, diverse neighborhood, we loved being just a 10-minute walk to the LIRR station — putting Manhattan just 35 minutes away — and walking distance to a top-rated elementary school with a wonderful playground.
Don't miss your chance to own this unique and welcoming home in the heart of Valley Stream.
