Description

Four bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and a rare first-floor bedroom with full ensuite bathroom and skylight. This beautifully maintained Dutch Colonial delivers the space, charm, and location West Hempstead buyers are looking for. A large mudroom welcomes you at the front door — coat hooks, ample storage, and room for shoes, backpacks, coats. Every room is bright, light-filled, and airy — windows on all sides bring natural light all day, and with them open, beautiful cross breezes flow through. Original hardwood floors, crown moulding, a white brick gas fireplace, and classic French doors give this home a warmth and charm that simply can't be replicated. A versatile front-facing room enclosed by closing French doors — served as office, reading room, and playroom — is a flex space ready for whatever you need.

Upstairs: three bedrooms, a refreshed full bathroom with full-size bathtub, attic access, and two mini-splits for year-round comfort. The fully fenced property — PVC fencing from front to back — offers security and privacy. A recessed front seating area surrounded by a flower garden is intimate and inviting.
