FREEPORT – A maintenance-free home is a life-enhancer for anyone, but perhaps most of all for a busy family. To illustrate the point, here is a classic bungalow that was built in 1928, but completely, beautifully rebuilt, from the foundation up, just this year. The result is a bright, fresh home, with energy-efficient heat pumps, that combines peace of mind with great traditional charm.

Most of the main level is open-concept. Floors are 3-inch oak, subtly stained. A very spacious dining area flows into the living room, and into the lovely kitchen, whose stainless appliances including a French door refrigerator are all LG. White cabinetry and undermount farmer’s sink complement white-and-black speckled island and counters very nicely.

Single-level living is an option, thanks to a first-floor-front bedroom that also makes a fine office or den, should only two bedrooms be needed. The adjacent full bath has a shower enclosure with seats, and an alcove for stacked washer and dryer.

Upstairs, the windowed landing is just right for a desk or sitting area. the two long, front-to-back bedrooms have walk-in closets and under-eaves storage, and are served by a large, full bath with soaking tub.

The detached, oversized, two-vehicle garage gets plenty of daylight and has excellent workshop potential. The 1.4-acre lot has both lawn and woods, with trails connecting, and also its own little pond, a bonus for young ice-skaters.

The setting’s pastoral beauty is matched by the location’s convenience to the village, and to excellent schools including Mast Landing; and to coastal attractions such as Wolfe Neck Woods State Park barely two miles away.
