Welcome to this charming cedar shake traditional in the heart of South Bayport, where timeless design meets modern comfort. A teak-covered front porch invites you inside to a soaring two-story foyer with gleaming hardwood floors. Just off the entry is a convenient mudroom, and beyond, an open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room—complete with custom built-in shelving and a cozy woodburning stove—to a bright and airy kitchen with a walk-in pantry. French doors open to a versatile room that can serve as a formal dining space or den. A first-floor bedroom offers flexible use as a guest suite or home office.
Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and private bath with a claw foot soaking tub. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bath complete this level, along with a bonus walk-up attic with lots of clean storage. The basement provides excellent recreational space, storage, and a dedicated home gym. The grounds are reminiscent of a Hamptons retreat, featuring a pea gravel driveway, bluestone patios, a beautifully landscaped yard with mature plantings including a fig tree and herb garden, and an in ground pool. Outdoor living is elevated with a fire pit, two storage sheds, and a refreshing outdoor shower. The home also includes owned solar panels for energy efficiency. Set on a picture-perfect street within an award-winning school district and close to Browns River and the Great South Bay, this property offers the perfect blend of sophistication, functionality, and coastal charm.
