Property Description

A rare waterfront opportunity offering space, privacy, and true one-level living. This oversized expanded ranch is set on a quiet canal in one of Amityville’s most desirable waterfront locations and sits near the end of the canal, providing a more peaceful setting with reduced boat traffic and added privacy. The home offers approximately 1,855 square feet of living space on a generous 0.36-acre lot. Interior features include a welcoming foyer with custom stained-glass detail, expansive living and dining areas, and a sun-filled step-down living room with a brick fireplace and sliding glass doors leading directly to the backyard and waterfront patio — ideal for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The layout includes four well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a spacious kitchen with strong workflow, plus dedicated laundry and utility areas. Additional features include central air conditioning, gas heat, an attached two-car garage, and a storage shed. The backyard is designed for waterfront living with canal views, patio space, a newer bulkhead, and a private dock with direct access for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The end-of-canal positioning enhances the sense of retreat and quiet enjoyment. Oversized waterfront ranch properties with this lot size, layout, garage, and private dock are increasingly rare. An exceptional opportunity to enjoy the South Shore waterfront lifestyle with comfort and room to grow.
