This turnkey 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is filled with timeless character and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The main level offers a flexible layout with three spacious bedrooms, including one currently used as a home office, allowing for both comfort and versatility. The inviting living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, abundant natural light, soaring cathedral ceilings, and stunning original oak parquet flooring that adds warmth and vintage charm. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, a Viking stovetop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, a premium Miele double wall oven, and a large center island with peninsula seating—ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining. Arched doorways, hardwood floors throughout, and classic architectural details enhance the home’s unique personality. Modern comforts include central air conditioning and gas heating—both just 4 years old—an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, and a Ring camera security system. Additional recent improvements include a 2-year-old hot water heater, a 1-year-old whole-house dehumidifier for the basement, a new ejector pump for the basement bathroom, and custom-installed outlets throughout to keep wires neatly hidden. The detached garage features a brand-new roof (1 year old) and a private driveway. The spacious full basement provides incredible flexibility with a finished guest bedroom, an additional bonus room for a gym, office, or playroom, and a large unfinished section for ample storage. Outside, enjoy a private backyard with mature landscaping, an advanced drainage system, and a hot tub for relaxing after a long day. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the nearby Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve, Merrick Golf Course with stunning bay views, Newbridge Road Park & Pool, and the hidden gem at the end of the block—Wynsum Avenue Park. Located within the Merrick Union Free School District for elementary education and the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District for secondary education—including John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore—this home offers the perfect blend of classic charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location.
