JUST LISTED: Historical Home W/Modern Day Amenities

Imagine living in a fully restored 18th century home, authentic, yet having the modern amenities you need for today’s lifestyle. This unique and exceptional home has been lovingly maintained to make you feel that every day is a stay at a Colonial inn. Privacy       provided by 9 acres of land to the North and West, which has been preserved by Brookhaven Town, allows you to appreciate the  special qualities of this wonderful example of early architecture. Situated on 1.1 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this home is surrounded by Thompson House, Gallery North, Detmer Farm, Stony Brook University and Hospital; the cultural center of the Three Village area.

In the formal toil living room, a beautiful corner cupboard and hand-hewn fireplace takes center stage as important original features of the home. The original wide board floors in the bright dining room complement beautiful cedar beams and a wonderful mantle, rumored to have marks made by revolutionary soldiers. In the kitchen, alongside the modern soapstone countertops, glass-front   cabinets, and copper sink is the fireplace, which has indentations from years of sharpening knives on its edge.

Two full baths haven been tastefully updated, with a classic look, appropriate to the home. The rear addition is currently used as a master suite, with a gas fireplace, large sitting area, and a recently renovated full bath; in the past, this room has also been used as a family room. With its large windows, overlooking the garden and gazebo, it is a wonderful place to curl up with a book, imagining what the world was like in 1730, but grateful for the wonderful modern conveniences of the home, such as  the laundry room on the first floor.

Updated oil and gas keep the house comfortable, as does the renovated roof and reproduction front door, complete with bulls eye glass. So many more improvements make this a very a special place, full of history, memories, and the promise of an extraordinary future for the discerning buyer.
