Are you done being priced out of fully renovated, overhyped homes where someone else already decided the finishes—and the profit? This is your chance to do it differently. A rare and timely opportunity awaits in the prestigious Half Hollow Hills East School District, set on an oversized 100 x 140 lot (approximately one-third acre)—a true find in today’s market.

This is your chance to do it differently. A rare and timely opportunity awaits in the prestigious Half Hollow Hills East School District, set on an oversized 100 x 140 lot (approximately one-third acre)—a true find in today’s market. This is not just a home; it’s a strategic investment perfectly aligned with Melville’s newly approved downtown transformation, where its long-overdue Main Street is about to evolve into a vibrant, walkable hub of shops, apartments, and restaurants. As construction ramps up, housing demand from professionals and workers will follow—driving both rental demand and property values. This home is positioned to benefit from it all. The expanded, rear-dormered Cape offers five bedrooms, two full baths, and an impressive four separate exterior entrances, creating unmatched flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning multi-generational living, rental income, or a home-based business, this layout adapts to your needs. A legal second-floor accessory apartment adds built-in income potential, while the full basement with high ceilings and a private entrance opens the door to a studio, office, gym, or recreation space. Investors and end users alike will appreciate the practical value-adds: a deep 1.5-car garage with loft storage, an oversized 11-car driveway ideal for trucks or trailers, and a fully fenced backyard with a 12-foot access gate—features that dramatically enhance usability and future upside. With an in-ground sprinkler system, new architectural roof, and very low taxes, carrying costs remain refreshingly manageable while long-term ROI stays front and center. The flat, deep lot is a blank canvas—perfect for a luxury outdoor retreat, a thoughtful modern renovation, or even a custom new build down the line. Ideally located near major highways, shopping, parks, and public transportation, this property offers everyday convenience while maintaining the quiet appeal of a residential setting—within a school district known for excellence. Opportunities with this lot size, versatility, and forward-looking location rarely come to market. With Melville’s Main Street redevelopment poised to redefine the area, this is your non-competitive chance to secure an undervalued home and design, upgrade, and build equity on your terms. Buy the potential. Shape the vision. Capture the upside. This is how smart buyers get ahead.
