The Levittown neighborhood is close to shopping and transit but  "you still have that backyard feel, that block party feel," the listing agent said.

The 2.14-acre property features stone walkways amid lush gardens, a heated studio with full bathroom, and a three-car garage.

Taxes on the 30-by-100 lot in the Connetquot Central School District are only $5,419. 

The wood-shingled home has an open kitchen with a wet bar, and features a den with gas fireplace and a master suite.

Architect John Fondrisi's home is one of a few on the East End that adheres to the spirit of the movement dating back to 1919, in Weimar, Germany.

The area was originally named Smithville because of the population of residents named Smith; it became North Bellmore in 1920.  

The five-bedroom, 4½-bath house features a radiant heated floor in the kitchen and an office with built-in bookcases.

Originally part of a 60-acre horse farm that was subdivided, the home served as an estate owned by the prominent Van Wyck family, the agent says.
