Great find in an excellent North Shore location, just two blocks from the beach! This 2-bedroom ranch sits on a flat, almost half-acre property and offers a rare combination of location, land, and potential. The home has good bones and is ready for a buyer with a vision to update and make it their own. A standout feature is the oversized detached 2-car garage, approximately 24' x 27', with additional loft/attic space—ideal for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future possibilities. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors and a full unfinished basement…

At about $12,728 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 27% above the $10,000 typical for Rocky Point 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.
