24 Lower Cross

Some homes are simply houses. This one has always been a home. This Colonial has been lovingly cared for by its original owners since day one, and it shows in every detail. This is the pride of ownership you can feel the moment you pull into the driveway. The location alone tells a story. Set on a diamond lot that delivers the ideal balance of privacy and openness, you're just minutes from pristine North Shore beaches, championship golf, local vineyards, farm stands, and the kind of easy, beautiful living that makes this stretch of Long Island so hard to leave. Inside, the home feels both timeless and move-in ready. Gleaming hardwood & tile run throughout, and a thoughtful list of updates, including windows, siding, roof, and beautifully renovated kitchen and baths, means the bones are solid, and the finishes are fresh. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with the kind of warmth that pulls people in and keeps them there, whether it's a quiet dinner or a holiday full of guests. The gracious living spaces continue upstairs, where a serene primary suite offers the private retreat every homeowner deserves. Three additional bedrooms provide room to grow, host guests, or simply spread out, including one that shares a Jack-and-Jill bath located in the hall, a layout as practical as it is charming. But step outside, and the story gets even better. Meticulously landscaped grounds, bursting with flowering trees and lush shrubs, create a private haven that is equal parts curb appeal and a gardener's delight. A separately fenced, propane-heated in-ground pool anchors an expansive brick patio built for long summer days and even longer summer nights. A second brick patio just off the rear door is made for morning coffee, large gatherings, and everything in between. This backyard wasn't designed to look at. It was designed to live in. Rounding out the offering: a partial basement for added flexibility and a two-car garage tucked neatly beneath the home. Every chapter here has been written with care. Now it's time for yours.
