Property Description
Welcome to a rare and oversized 100 x 140 (1/3 acre) property offering endless potential in one of Long Island's most desirable locations — all within the award-winning Half Hollow Hills School District. Whether you're an investor looking for strong rental returns, a builder with vision, or a growing family searching for space and flexibility, this property delivers. The home is a spacious expanded Cape Cod featuring three separate exterior entrances, making it ideal for multi-generational living or income-producing configurations. It includes a legal accessory apartment on the second floor, a deep 1.5-car attached garage with a soaring 14-foot gable roof and massive loft storage, and a large utility room perfect for a workshop, gym, or future expansion.
The full-height basement, with its own private entrance, offers additional untapped space ready for finishing. While the interior needs some updating, the bones are solid and the layout is flexible, allowing buyers to add instant value or reimagine the property entirely. The expansive blacktop driveway offers abundant parking for multiple vehicles, work trucks, or trailers. The lot itself is flat, deep, and brimming with potential — whether you envision a luxury knockdown and custom new build, a full backyard oasis with a pool and outdoor kitchen, or a smart renovation with room for everyone.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood with quick access to major highways, shopping, parks, and transit, this property is also zoned for the nationally acclaimed Half Hollow Hills School District, known for its academic excellence, athletics, and extracurricular programs. Opportunities like this — offering size, flexibility, location, and elite schools — rarely hit the market. Don't miss your chance to own a one-of-a-kind property with the space to grow, build, or invest for the future.
