East Patchogue house for sale on half-acre lists for $475,000

Wildlife passes through a half-acre flag lot in East Patchogue, where an 830-square-foot house sits undisturbed.

"It's really nice there, it's really peaceful," listing agent Lisa Estrada said.

The three-bed, one-bath home at the end of a long driveway is on the market for $475,000. Taxes on the 0.53-acre Strongs Lane property, which falls within the South Country Central School District, total $5,697.

"This is one of the more affordable homes on Long Island and you get the property, you get the privacy," said Estrada, of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. "You have the potential for all this extra added living space if somebody wanted to do so."

The house has an unfinished attic and a basement with a door that leads outside, she said.

"My vision for the home is for somebody to turn that whole upstairs into their primary suite with their own private en suite," she said of the attic space.

As it stands, the home is move-in ready, Estrada said. An enclosed porch with a sloped ceiling can be used for three seasons. The house has been in the current owner's family for years and has most recently been used as a rental property, she said.

Details like crystal doorknobs and older kitchen cabinets nod to an earlier time. The property has well water, baseboard heating and wall and window units for cooling.

"I've fallen in love with it," Estrada said. "When I first pulled up, I was like, 'Oh, it's so small,' but then I went inside."

There, she said, she saw "so much potential."
