Timeless charm meets modern living in this iconic 1904 Craftsman home in the heart of Stony Brook. Set on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, this 5/6 bedroom, 3.5 bath home blends original architectural detail with tasteful updates throughout. Inside, you’ll find quarter-sawn oak woodwork, inlaid cherry, white oak, and maple floors, 10-foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and beautifully preserved features like pocket doors, a grand staircase, and original millwork. The kitchen has been thoughtfully modernized with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island—while maintaining the home’s historic soul. Longtime locals may recognize this beloved property as “The Paint Box,” a name that evokes its rich past and presence in the community. Step outside to a true backyard retreat complete with a heated in-ground pool, natural rock waterfall, private pickleball court, and mature landscaping that offers both color and privacy. All with close proximity to LIRR, Stony Brook University and Port Jefferson ferry.
