ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NEW YORK
This charming, vintage Tudor home at 294 North Village Avenue in Rockville Centre, New York, sits on three-quarters of an acre and will have you feeling like you live in a story book. Manicured greenery welcomes visitors to this South Shore of Long Island home with a decorative boxwood hedge maze in the style of a formal garden. Asking $2,725,000, this something-for-everyone estate has six bedrooms, a finished third floor, and bonus space in the basement.
It takes an aerial view to fully appreciate the custom-built diversions that fit tidily on the home’s well-manicured grounds. Up close, the home’s external half-timbers and pitched roofs are recognizable as elements of Tudor-style architecture. Within, bespoke millwork and three fireplaces frame each room for instant coziness and warmth.
A warm wood staircase ascends from a subtly elegant foyer. On one side, a lush living room is done in beige, with no surprises and plenty of comfort.
Serious appliances to serve the needs of your space, coffered ceilings for the appearance of added height, and a French country design provide the eat-in kitchen with a welcoming vibe. A formal dining room with herringbone-patterned hardwood floors makes it an intimate room for entertaining guests or a place that makes every meal feel special.
The freshly renovated primary suite features a fireplace and an incredible custom closet. Also on this floor are three more bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs on the third floor is an additional suite with a spacious living area, two bedrooms, and a full bath, as well as attic access.
The inside of this home is impressive, but it’s the home’s outdoor spaces that steal the show. In the back, you’ll find an in-ground, gunite pool set at a jaunty angle, adjacent to a full-sized tennis court, an outdoor kitchen, a three-car detached garage, green space, a koi pond, and ample parking for family and friends who come to visit.
