A truly rare offering in the heart of West Islip, this estate-like property feels like a hidden world unto itself—an expansive, two-acre haven tucked quietly into one of Long Island’s most charming hamlets. With 258 feet of frontage and grounds that unfold like a private park, the home offers the best of both worlds: the peacefulness and space of country living with all the warmth and walkability of village life.
Bordering the property is a still-water protected wetland, a serene natural feature that brings privacy, beauty, and a rich sense of tranquility. The quiet water, surrounding greenery, and wildlife create a soothing backdrop that makes the entire estate feel like a retreat.
Just beyond the treetops, you’ll find a community that still waves hello—where local shops, the post office, and family-run restaurants are just a short stroll away, and where vibrant nearby destinations like Babylon Village and Bay Shore’s Main Street are only minutes from your door. Whether it’s sandy afternoons at town beaches, crisp mornings in the park, or the energy of youth sports, parades, and seasonal fairs, this location offers more than convenience—it offers connection. All of this, within the highly acclaimed and award-winning West Islip School District.
The home itself is a timeless Cape Cod, thoughtfully expanded and rear-dormered to offer four bedrooms plus the potential for a mother–daughter setup with proper permits and some work needed to complete the build-out. Three levels of sunlit, flexible living space include a walk-out lower level ideal for extended family, a creative retreat, or guest quarters. A covered breezeway leads to a one-and-a-half-car garage topped by a finished, heated upper level—perfect for a studio, gym, or private office.
Inside and out, the home is designed for everyday comfort: cook with ease using propane fuel backed by a six-year supply, enjoy the simplicity of a sewer connection, and settle into a layout that supports both relaxation and productivity.
Outside, the property is its own private sanctuary. A sparkling inground pool glimmers beneath mature trees, bordered by child-safe fencing and flanked by a patio made for gatherings. Multiple decks invite morning coffee, evening wine, and everything in between. The 12-zone sprinkler system keeps the lush landscaping thriving, while the expansive grounds offer plenty of space for RVs, boats, or work vehicles without compromising the estate-like setting.
For those seeking a forever home, this property offers something increasingly rare: space to breathe, room to grow, and a naturally peaceful environment enriched by the beauty of its protected wetland border. This is not just a house—it’s a canvas for a life well lived, in one of Long Island’s most welcoming, laid-back, and top-ranked school communities.
