A solid, 3 bedroom/2 full bath ranch offering the ease of single-level living with the peace of mind that comes from knowing the big things have already been taken care of. Three bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood floors throughout,and basement. The mechanics are in excellent shape: a 3-year-old roof, a 2-year-old boiler, gas heat, and a washer and dryer under five years old. Low taxes sweeten the picture further, making this an exceptionally smart buy for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors alike.

At about $7,421 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 51% below the $15,000 typical for Huntington Union Free School District. Suffolk bills combine town, school and special-district levies, so two homes at the same price in neighboring districts can carry materially different taxes. Exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.
