Welcome to one of the true classic grand colonials in East Patchogue! Step into timeless elegance with this distinguished 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath historic colonial complete with an office, offering 3,317 square feet of beautifully appointed living space nestled on 1.17 private acres in a serene, partially wooded setting. This captivating home offers a rare blend of old-world charm and modern comfort, featuring 9-foot ceilings, rich wood flooring throughout, and exquisite architectural details. Extensively enlarged in 1960, the home features floor-to-ceiling 19th century English bronze patio windows, a Spanish chandelier, hand-carved Irish oak mantle gracing the gas fireplace, and other details all taken from the magnificent gold coast Thornton Estate when it was demolished in 1957. Another renovation in 2004 brought the electrical and heating systems into the 21st century and added a custom chef's kitchen, a true highlight boasting a professional-grade gas stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, cherry cabinetry with granite countertops, and gleaming wood flooring—perfect for culinary enthusiasts and entertaining guests. A separate legal accessory apartment—with its own entrance, wide doorways, and thoughtful design offers a spacious bedroom, eat-in kitchen with cherry cabinetry and granite counters, a bright living room, and a full bath with a seated shower. Enjoy all the seasons in the inviting three-season porch with a wood-burning stove or entertain with ease in the private courtyard graced with an expansive patio complete with outdoor kitchen equipped with grill, burner, refrigerator and hot/cold water. The beautifully landscaped extensive grounds include two long driveways with lighted brick entry walls, Wi-fi enabled in-ground sprinklers, two large sheds, an outhouse (two-seater!), and a fully fenced (wood and invisible) wooded rear yard offering ultimate privacy and enough room for both pool and tennis court! With a detached 1-car garage with attached heated workshop, full basement, three-zone gas heating and two gas hot water heaters, this home combines heritage, function, and beauty in one exceptional property.
