Description

Experience lakeside living at its finest in this beautifully crafted custom 4-bedroom, 2-bath home, ideally located on a quiet residential block. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the lake from nearly every room, with the added bonus of a spacious second-story deck, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or watching the sunset over the water.

Inside, you'll find rich hardwood floors throughout, a formal living room and dining room for elegant gatherings, and a custom eat-in kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and premium finishes. The layout is both functional and stylish, designed for everyday comfort and special occasions alike.

Stay cool in the summer with central air conditioning, and cozy up in the winter by the charming wood-burning fireplace. Each of the four bedrooms offers generous space and natural light, while both bathrooms are tastefully updated with modern fixtures.

Additional highlights include a whole-house generator for uninterrupted power, and the second-story deck that extends your living space outdoors—an ideal spot for morning coffee, stargazing, or hosting guests.

Whether you're enjoying the quiet surroundings, the sparkling lakefront views, or the high-end features throughout, this home is a rare opportunity to own a truly special retreat.

There are lot of children here and the schools are second to none . I wish the town would replace the roads here , and take better care of there pubic areas ! But let the young folks moving in fight that fight ! "

    "Crappy roads / rats / compact floresant lights instead of LED ( someone got paid off ) no trees left due to disease , and the town is not planting any ! Highway noise 10 lanes now on Sunrise HWY - RT27 . No plans for a sound wall ??? I guess we are lower class here in Islip . Airplane and helicopters all day and night fly over head ,, isn’t there a bay or ocean they can fly over then go straight up Lakeland Blvd to the airport ????
