Overview
Smart House! Enjoy all the luxury and convenience of a new home in this exceptional, extensively renovated, 1961 cedar-shake ranch offering three bedrooms and an amazing new bath on the first floor plus a fourth bedroom, egress windows, new full bath and more in the newly finished lower level. Standing on an exquisitely landscaped corner property in an established, friendly neighborhood, it offers low taxes and a location less than 700 feet from the banks of Mill Neck Creek and 4, 000 feet from Bayville’s Stehli Beach on Long Island Sound. You will feel like you are on vacation year-round in the Locust Valley area that has become the new version of the Hamptons, with its many delightful shopping areas with charming boutiques and restaurants, plus golf courses, mansion museums, nightlife venues, beaches, and boating. But it is thirty miles closer to New York City with a seventy-five-minute commute by train or fifty-minute by car. Almost every inch of this special home has been brought into the Twenty-First Century with new smart house features, new Andersen windows and doors, and gorgeous new, easy-care landscaping. It includes beautiful, mature trees, a wide, Cambridge Armor Tec paving stone front walk, and fenced and secluded, backyard with similar paving stone two-level patio. What great summer entertainment awaits you with built-in seating around a voice activated, Montanna gas firepit and a spacious dining patio with XO built-in outdoor kitchen featuring a grill, refrigerator, hot plate, and storage. An electronically controlled Sun Setter retractable, Sunbrella- Performance-fabric awning will shade the area when needed. Also impeccably renovated and doubling its living space, the home’s interior offers you incredible creature comforts including a voice-activated sound system and almost all windows boasting Hunter Douglas PowerView motorized, top-of-the-line-fabric shades. One exception is the original oriel, bay window in the inviting living room, which features a raised-hearth fireplace set in a stunning paneled wall soaring up to a vaulted ceiling. Gleaming hardwood floors flow into the adjoining dining room illuminated by an Ethan Allen chandelier and sliding doors overlooking the deck and firepit. The adjoining, new eat-in kitchen also opens the patio and offers attractive dusty-blue and white cabinetry, granite countertop, subway tile backsplash, gas cooktop, and Jenn Air Rise stainless steel built-in ovens, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The bedroom wing includes three sunny bedrooms and a luxurious new marble bathroom with a large twin vanity, floor-to-ceiling tile, basketweave floor, and a large, lavish glass-enclosed shower with high-end Cascada, built-in ceiling, rain and waterfall, LED, shower system, hand-held shower head, and built-in seat. Imagine, after a hectic day at work, you retreat to your spa, and like a gentle rainstorm, its thermostatically controlled water massages your shoulders and soothes your muscles while peaceful lights calm your spirit. Ahh, it’s good to be home. Just off the dining room, stairs descend to the newly finished basement, doubling the home’s living space. This sparkling new retreat features a spacious gym with closets, a huge bonus room (presently serving as a guestroom with top-of-the-line egress window and closet), a new bath with glass-enclosed tub/shower and marble topped vanity, a laundry room, and a generous media/recreation room with large, decorated egress window. This like-new 1961 home on a spacious corner lot with attached garage and everything you could want for luxury living, offers low taxes and top-of-the line, state-of-the-art amenities in an ideal location with endless recreational opportunities. What a unique opportunity this presents, so grab it before someone else finds it. View 3D Tour and Floor Plan.
