Ambrosait has lived in her expanded Cape for 41 years and raised her three children there. It’s on a tree-lined street in central Glen Cove and has a detached one-car garage. She talks about her home:

 “The kitchen is renovated. Everything in it is new except the stove. I did new cabinets, new counters and new wood flooring. I spend most of the time in the kitchen .?.?. The main-floor bathroom has also been renovated, and I put in a step-in shower. The master bedroom is on the first floor .?.?. It was at one time a family room and could very easily be converted back .?.?. The kitchen and dining area are very spacious .?.?. There’s a deck in the backyard, and that’s really my favorite. It’s right off the kitchen through French doors .?.?. There’s a nice covered porch in the front of the house -- it’s nice to sit out there.”
