Property Description

Designed for today’s lifestyle, the home includes flexible finished spaces ideal for an expansive home office, creative studio, and guest quarters. Inside, it beautifully blends original architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. You’ll find quarter-sawn oak woodwork, inlaid Brazilian cherry, white oak, and maple floors, 10-foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and preserved features such as pocket doors, a grand staircase, and exquisite millwork. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island while maintaining the home’s historic soul. Known to longtime locals as “The Paint Box” pre-school, this iconic 1904 Craftsman home in the heart of Stony Brook sits on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, offering a true retreat complete with a heated in-ground pool, natural rock waterfall, pickleball court, and lush gardens that provide both color and privacy. Offering five to six bedrooms and three and a half baths, this timeless residence combines history, comfort, and modern convenience—all within close proximity to the LIRR, Stony Brook University, and the Port Jefferson ferry.
