Property Description
This iconic 1920s colonial was designed around its waterfront setting, offering uninterrupted river views from nearly every room and a lifestyle that feels immersive, serene, and timeless. The expansive riverfront deck replaces the traditional backyard, creating a front-row seat to daily boating activity, changing seasons, migrating birds, glowing morning light, and spectacular sunrises that unfold over the water, with the added benefit of docking your boat just steps from your door for spontaneous sunset cruises, weekend adventures, and effortless waterfront living.
Nearly every window frames the river. All main living spaces and bedrooms enjoy waterfront views, with only one bathroom not facing the water, making this home feel as though it is floating above the river itself. The sunroom is a particularly special vantage point, offering panoramic water views that invite you to pause, breathe, and take it all in.
Inside, the home's historic character remains beautifully intact, with original leaded glass windows, coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry, and a rare dual-sided original fireplace that anchors the main living areas. These details speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era while creating warm, elegant spaces for modern living.
A walk-around attic with full river views offers exceptional potential for future living space or retreat, making this property as flexible as it is charming.
Featured in My Amityville by author Doug Robinson, this home is not just a residence, it is part of the village's architectural and cultural story. Located on one of South Amityville's most coveted waterfront blocks, it reflects the enduring appeal of a community where homes are cherished and passed through generations.
Thoughtfully lifted and raised after Hurricane Sandy, the home offers added resilience, peace of mind, and a low flood premium, ensuring that its beauty and strength can be enjoyed for many years to come.
This is more than a waterfront home. It is a front-row experience of river life, village history, and timeless design, all in one extraordinary setting.
