Description

Incredible opportunity to own a magnificent circa-1900 Victorian that has been thoughtfully cared for and beautifully updated, ideally situated in the Village of Lindenhurst on an oversized lot in a prime mid-block location. Exceptional curb appeal begins with mature, meticulously maintained landscaping, vinyl siding accented by cedar-impression siding, a brick front porch with PVC railings, a charming covered portico, and an original vintage front door with glass detail. A paving-stone walkway leads to the entrance, while the long, oversized blacktop driveway with Belgian block borders and apron extends to a detached one-car garage equipped with electricity and provides abundant additional parking. The backyard offers multiple areas for outdoor enjoyment, perfect for entertaining and taking in the seasons. Step inside to an inviting entry foyer showcasing gleaming original hardwood floors, beautiful vintage millwork and custom moldings surrounding many of the doors and windows, and a stunning original staircase that reflects the home’s timeless Victorian character. The spacious formal living room is filled with natural light and features beautiful moldings and a ceiling fan. At the heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen featuring light maple cabinetry, a large breakfast bar with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet and counter space, a tile backsplash, recessed lighting, gas cooking, a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, and a full-glass door providing direct access to the backyard. The first floor also features an enormous bedroom with gleaming hardwood floors and a ceiling fan, along with a beautifully appointed full bath featuring a glass-enclosed stand-up shower and custom tilework. Upstairs are two additional generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and ceiling fans, a second full bath with a tub and shower, and a convenient laundry space with washer, dryer, and additional cabinetry. Most of the interior has been freshly painted, and Andersen windows add to the home’s many desirable features. A full unfinished basement provides additional storage and houses the gas hot water heater and Peerless boiler with Riello burner. A rare opportunity to enjoy the character, vintage millwork, and craftsmanship of a classic Victorian combined with thoughtful updates, generous indoor and outdoor living space, and a fantastic Village of Lindenhurst location, within walking distance to the LIRR train station and numerous restaurants.
