Just steps from Shipwreck Cove Spray Park, Benjamin Beach and the Bay Shore Marina; and walking distance to vibrant downtown Bay Shore Village Main Street and the Fire Island Ferries, this property is a dream come true. A hop skip and a jump from the Long Island Rail Road and a few minutes from Robert Moses Causeway, the Ocean Beaches and Hecksher State Park, the recreational opportunities and the lure of vibrant living is abound. The house is six houses from the bay, a private marina, the Ocean Avenue Marina and Captain Bill’s historic restaurant.
With four bedrooms and three baths, this property is prefect for a big family, a growing family or someone who likes spare rooms for overnight company, family and friends. This updated two level ranch is a work of modern flair and an open concept floor plan with the warmth of a family home. Simple and understated, this home has all the bells, whistles, and amenities. A beautiful newly remodeled open kitchen with rare marble countertops is the center of the living area. The kitchen is surrounded by an island for breakfast and lunch and a formal dining room. Cooking, eating and hosting is effortless; all off the 10 x 20 living room with black marble tile and geometric openings between the living room and kitchen.
The second floor, with an open staircase, is a huge master suite with a large on suite bath, with a soaking tub and large walk-in shower with spa level water jets. One first floor bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and shower and the other is an on suite for another large bedroom. Three full baths ensure the whole family can get ready in the morning or enjoy evenings soaking in a tub.
The front yard is landscaped and well appointed. With a double driveway, there is plenty of room for the multiple cars to park off street. A large front deck is suitable for gatherings to eat, sip wine or coffee and relax in the morning before work or when you return home after a long day. The peace and quiet will fill your senses with tranquil feelings of home. As quiet and peaceful as a dead end or cul-de-sac, the block is historically serene and private.
The back yard is a tropical oasis, boasting beautiful Hawaiian natural gas torches, a natural gas firepit with a gazebo type seating area and slate surface with no grass to cut. There is also a large area for dining, an outdoor hot tub or recreational area with a basketball hoop. There is a detached garage, converted into a dry storage unit with electric. Can easily be a workshop or recreational room (as well as a large dry shed for storage). There is also a significant fenced in “play area” with safety flooring, which could be used for children’s play, swing set, etc. or another seating, dining or party area.
The property has a fully fenced (PVC) back yard and post and rail fenced front yard. The grass, flowers and ornamental plants are watered by an underground sprinkler system and abundant solar lighting for the plants, fence, yard, deck and driveway. The home itself boasts a full alarm system; natural gas heating (and clothes dryer) and cooking (including the outdoor barbeque); central air conditioning, new boiler, new roof, hot water heater, recessed lighting and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Upgraded electric box (150 amp service), generator “hook up” and upgraded modern washer and dryer make life easy. Possible separation of interior for an accessory apartment (with proper permits).
All in all this unassuming remodeled expanded ranch has everything needed for effortless, recreational and peaceful living, while located in the heart of south shore living and close convenience of commuting (Railroad and Parkways) and water transportation are at hand. If you are looking for a home that provides all ones needs and desires, without the high taxes and loud busy neighborhoods, this is your castle.
