Charming and updated Cape with rear dormer located on a quiet residential block in the heart of North Massapequa, just steps from Albany Avenue School. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends classic character with modern updates, including a nearly new kitchen featuring quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and recessed lighting. Both bathrooms are tastefully renovated, and gleaming oak floors run throughout. The second floor features two generously sized bedrooms made possible by the rear dormer, offering great ceiling height and expanded living space. Notable mechanical upgrades include a top-of-the-line Navien gas tankless heating system for endless hot water on demand, an updated 200-amp electrical panel, and four energy-efficient ductless split units that provide both heating and air conditioning throughout the home. The full finished basement offers additional living space with ceramic tile flooring, laundry area, generous storage, and flexible room for recreation, office, or guests. The beautifully landscaped, private yard offers a peaceful retreat with a rear patio covered by an awning and surrounded by mature landscaping, providing optimal privacy and shade. A detached 1.5-car garage and private driveway are complemented by a rear paver walkway leading to a convenient mudroom entrance at the back of the home - a thoughtful detail for everyday living. Just minutes from local conveniences including North Broadway's shops and restaurants, 7 minutes to Farmingdale Village and the LIRR, and only 5 minutes to Allen Park. Enjoy direct access to outdoor recreation with walkable proximity to the Massapequa Preserve's scenic nature trails, offering miles of wooded paths, bike routes, and natural beauty.
