If you want a house for $650,000

Ebenezer Smith, the original owner of the St. James General Store, had this Colonial with rocking chair porch built in 1853. Set on a .83-acre lot next to the general store, the house is updated, yet retains many vintage features. Among them: the original hand-carved front door, molding and the wide plank wood floors on the second level. Other features include 10-foot ceilings, updated oversized windows, built-in shelves and a fireplace. The kitchen is outfitted with cherrywood cabinets and a stainless-steel six-burner gas stove. There are five bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms, including the first floor "in-law suite," complete with one bathroom and one bedroom. Outside, the landscape includes a pond, an in-ground pool and a cabana, all surrounded by pavers. Located in the Smithtown school district, the house has taxes of $15,041.
