About this home

Steeped in history and timeless character, this enchanting five-bedroom, two-bath home offers captivating water views and over three acres of land stretching from Water Street to Highway 217. Nestled in the picturesque village of Freeport on Long Island—celebrated for its whale watching, winding coastal trails, quiet coves, and sandy beaches—this property evokes a slower pace of life, rich in maritime heritage. Inside, the home showcases the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The main level features a generously sized primary bedroom with doors opening onto a private back deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. A full bath, second bedroom, inviting dining room, and a charming kitchen complete with pantry round out the main floor. A beautiful wood staircase, full of original character, leads to the second level where you’ll find three additional bedrooms, a flexible bonus room ideal for a studio or creative retreat, and a second bathroom featuring a soaker tub tucked beneath a skylight. Adding to the home’s unique appeal, a lovely stained glass window creates a cozy seating nook—an ideal spot to relax and take in the colorful light as it filters through. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with both a large barn and a separate shed, offering ample space for storage, hobbies, or potential workshop use. Two driveways provide added convenience and flexibility, while a striking old stone wall lines the front of the home, enhancing its storybook charm and historic appeal.
