Property Description
Located in the highly sought-after Half Hollow Hills East School District, this expanded rear-dormered Cape sits on an oversized 100' x 140' lot—approximately one-third of an acre—a rare offering in today's market.
Perfectly positioned to benefit from Melville's exciting Main Street revitalization, this home offers more than exceptional living—it presents a remarkable investment opportunity. The planned transformation into a vibrant downtown featuring restaurants, boutique shopping, residential living, and community gathering spaces is expected to increase demand, strengthen property values, and enhance long-term growth.
Completely move-in ready, the home has been extensively renovated throughout with new flooring, beautifully updated bathrooms, modern fixtures, and efficient three-zone heating. A fully finished basement adds valuable living space, ideal for entertaining, recreation, a home office, gym, or guest quarters.
Offering five spacious bedrooms, two updated full baths, and four separate exterior entrances, the flexible layout easily accommodates multigenerational living, a home-based business, or rental opportunities. A legal second-floor accessory apartment provides built-in income potential or private living space for extended family, while the finished basement with its own private entrance adds even greater versatility.
Outside, functionality meets convenience with a deep 1.5-car garage featuring loft storage, an oversized driveway accommodating up to 11 vehicles, and a fully fenced backyard with a 12-foot access gate—perfect for contractors, boats, trailers, or recreational vehicles. Professionally landscaped grounds, an in-ground sprinkler system, a newer architectural roof, and remarkably low taxes further enhance the home's exceptional value.
The expansive level property offers endless possibilities, whether you envision a pool, outdoor kitchen, resort-style backyard, or future expansion.
Conveniently located near major highways, shopping, parks, and public transportation, this one-of-a-kind property combines historic charm, modern updates, flexible living, income-producing potential, oversized grounds, abundant parking, and outstanding future appreciation.
Rarely does a home offer such a unique blend of legacy, lifestyle, and investment potential.
Honor the past.
Enjoy the present.
Invest in the future.
This is more than a home—it's an opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of local history while securing your place in one of Long Island's most promising futures.
