45 Fairwater Avenue

Built in 1927 and set just a few houses from the open bay in Nassau Shores, this Tudor style colonial brings nearly a century of character to the waterfront. The original details remain throughout the home, with hardwood floors running from room to room. The formal living room is tremendous, anchored by a wood burning fireplace and built in shelving, with French doors opening to a private side patio. It is a warm place to spend winter evenings. The formal dining room seats a crowd for the holidays and opens into the den, where a second set of doors leads out to the yard. The kitchen is unlike any other room in the house. It is sun-filled beneath vaulted ceilings, with stainless appliances, an eat in area, and a cozy nook in front of a gas fireplace, a natural spot for slow mornings and Sunday breakfasts. There is yet another set of sliding doors that lead you to the private yard and afternoons are spent filled with natural light. Outside is where the waterfront lifestyle begins. Nearly 100 feet of prime bulkhead frames the property, and the sprawling grounds feature beautiful landscaping and specimen plantings, including grapevines and apple trees. A detached two car garage offers space for cars, boating gear, or a workshop. A 1927 Tudor on the bay with its original character intact while updating for modern day life is truly a rare find.
