Lattingtown Harbor-Private Beach Community! A car enthusiasts dream-four car garage; 3 of the bays are 1.5x deep over standard. Tucked away in a wooded North Shore wonderland of magnificent estates on scenic wooded roads, ending at beaches along the shore of Long Island Sound, is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the home of your dreams. A large farm ranch that has been renovated most recently with new windows, updated baths, and refinished hardwood floors, offers a lovely flat 2.25-acre property with emerald lawns, pristine wooded areas, an expansive patio, plus a delightful home with 7 bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, sun-drenched, and spacious rooms. The garage with workshop area and stairs up to a huge second floor loft offers endless possibilities; sliding glass doors open to a wraparound deck overlooking the property. Approached by a long, horseshoe drive and a large parking area between the house and garage, the home welcomes guests into a spacious foyer with coat closet, updated powder room, and stairs to the lower level. The adjoining living room offers ample sunlit space for welcoming guests and includes a charming wood-burning fireplace, gleaming hardwood floors, and large windows overlooking the front property. An archway leads into the banquet-sized dining room, three walls of windows flooding the room with sunny vistas, and a door to the rear patio. A unique butler’s pantry with an amazing amount of storage connects the room with the kitchen that offers ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a unique center island with one of two sinks, and ceramic tile floors that flow into the spacious breakfast area overlooking the patio. Just off the kitchen, a service area with an attached full bath could serve as a mudroom or additional bedroom with outside door to the driveway. On the other side of the kitchen, a very spacious den with wood-burning fireplace is the hub of the house, with doors to the patio and to the foyer, stairs to the second floor, many windows overlooking the rear property, and hardwood floors flowing into the bedroom wing hallway. This accesses a spacious primary suite with ample closets and windows and a newly renovated primary bath offering a free-standing soaking tub, a shower with state-of-the-art glass doors, and a large floating vanity. Three additional bedrooms share another updated bath with tub/shower and floating twin vanity. The second floor offers additional bedrooms, a bath, two sitting rooms, and many windows and dormers. A full basement with outside entrance offers unlimited potential with brick wood-burning fireplace-a rare find; sliding glass doors with steps offers access to the rear yard and patio, and over 3,000 new square feet to add to the home’s present 5,500-square-foot interior. Additional features include generator, hot-water baseboard heat, central air-conditioning, inground sprinklers (5 zones), serene privacy, and only a third-mile drive to the beach. Located in Lattingtown Harbor, this special home is in the heart of Locust Valley. About thirty-one miles from Manhattan, it is rapidly replacing the Hamptons as THE place to live. So much closer to the city, it offers delightful villages with quaint shops and restaurants, miles of shoreline and beaches, mansion museums, waterfront restaurants, golf courses (one just a five-iron shot away), night life, train station, hospital, and so much more. The beachfront clubhouse is a perfect place to get to know and enjoy your neighbors; it offers two stories of porches overlooking the Sound and Frost Creek, cabanas, kitchen, lounge, recreation room, bathrooms, a floating dock, storage area for kayaks, grills, mooring, swimming, fishing, and a perfect spot to sit on the beach and enjoy spectacular sunsets. *if desire to use the beach club, HOA $3,933.00 annually.
