An updated two-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch with a rocking-chair front porch in Sayville is listed for $499,999. Annual property taxes are $10,170.

Built in 1927, the 1-story 1,563-square-foot house has an open floor plan, hardwood floors and a full finished basement. The living/dining room has built-in shelves, a painted, wood-beamed ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround.

Recent updates include new bathrooms, roof and kitchen with a cathedral ceiling and double skylights, stainless steel appliances and granite counters. There's natural gas cooking.

“You walk in and immediately feel warm and at home,” says Brian Hocker of Cornerstone Properties of Long Island, who is listing the home with Ruth Pineda.

Though the house is on busy Lakeland Avenue, it’s set back and feels removed from the road, notes Hocker.

“It’s just got a good flow to it,” he says. “It’s exactly what a downsizer or first-time homebuyer or somebody who just wants one floor would be looking for.”

The house is on a 0.27-acre property that is partially fenced in and has a detached one-car garage.

Zoned for the Sayville Union Free School District, the home is close to the West Sayville National Wildlife Refuge, Loughlin Vineyard, restaurants and shops along Sunrise Highway and Sayville’s Main Street. It's also not far from Connetquot River State Park Preserve, Great South Bay and ferries to eastern Fire Island.
