200 Merrick Rd

This is a low-rise cooperative complex built in 1964 with two stories of primarily one-bedroom garden and first-floor units arranged around landscaped grounds and a central pond. Architecture is midcentury suburban: modest brick facades, wide eaves, and large windows that orient many residences toward green space and water views. Interiors typically feature refinished hardwood floors, crown moldings, decorative built-ins, recessed lighting, and a mix of original and updated kitchens and baths with granite or quartz counters in renovated units. Floor plans favor efficient living with open living/dining areas, galley or eat-in kitchens, spacious closets and some units offering true first-floor bedroom layouts. Common areas are limited but well-maintained: shared laundry facilities on-site, mailbox cluster, assigned outdoor parking spaces, and professionally tended grounds with pond-side walkways and backyard access. The co-op’s operating model commonly includes heat, water and exterior maintenance in the monthly maintenance fee; some units carry small assessments for capital improvements. Pet and guest policies vary by board. Location is in the Village of Amityville on Long Island’s South Shore, within walking distance to restaurants, parks, a nautical park and a private village beach, and roughly one hour or less to Manhattan by LIRR from nearby stations.
