Property Description

Welcome to this exceptional colonial residence in the heart of Saint James, located within the highly regarded Smithtown Central School District. Blending timeless design with outstanding flexibility, this home offers an ideal opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors. Step inside to a bright, spacious layout featuring a formal living room, an elegant dining area, a large eat-in kitchen, a family room, and hardwood floors throughout. The interior has been recently updated, including newly installed dishwasher and laundry appliances, providing a move-in-ready experience. The home offers 8 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, delivering generous space for extended family, guests, or flexible living arrangements. A key highlight is the dual-level configuration, allowing the first and second floors to function as independent living spaces—perfect for owner-occupied living with rental income or for multigenerational households seeking privacy. Additional features include a partially finished basement, attached garage, brand-new asphalt driveway, and two separate electric meters, making rental management efficient and cost-effective. Location is truly exceptional: approximately a 3-minute walk to the Saint James LIRR station, with just one stop to the Stony Brook station, offering direct access to Stony Brook University. The property is also about 8-minute drive to the university, further enhancing its appeal to both end users and investors. Set on a generous lot in a quiet, established neighborhood, this versatile home combines convenience, income potential, and long-term value in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
