We bought our wonderful house five years ago and have made many important renovations. The newest is a hybird bocce court/putting green, next to our new gunite, inground, solar-heated, salt-water swimming pool with hot tub, slide and basketball hoop. They're built and ready for fun. We also paved the gravel driveway. It's now asphalt with two additional parking spaces on the side.

Some of the previous upgrades include solar power, full house air conditioning, a brand new master bed/bath, new decks in the front and back, a rear deck pergola, new rear deck furniture, new window shades throughout the house, central vacuum, a new panoramic kitchen window and door, a new Celestron telescope, a new Bosch dishwasher, major upgrades to the goldfish/koi pond, a new second floor washer/dryer, a newly tiled Jack & Jill bathroom, a 220V Tesla charger and 110V outlets for electric car charging in the garage.

Three years ago we added a new 3-bed raised vegetable and flower garden. You'll be able to pick a fresh tomato or zucchini for your salad. We also finished painting the front porch, rear deck, pergola and swing. Then we removed two kitchen cabinets and the window to create the space for a gigantic panoramic window and door. The view from the kitchen is now breathtaking. Last year's improvements were the addition of a panoramic bay window in the TV room. We now have a wall of glass to view the backyard and the creek. We also rebuilt the gazebo and screened it in with a new roof and new railing.

Our house has some very unique characteristics. It is very large, with two master bedrooms, equally wonderful, but different. The first one has a new bathroom with a large multi-directional spray shower and a double sink that rests on an 1880 French dresser. The second master bedroom has a beautiful sitting area and large bathroom with a combination tub/shower and a personal dressing table.

The swimming pool is the hub of activity in the backyard. The kids use the helical slide again and again and the basketball hoop is great fun. The side yards are big and good for children to run around and play while you BBQ out back or sip a cocktail on the deck or in the heated spa. You also have free use of the canoe.

Downstairs there are two bedrooms, each with separate full baths, one being a newly tiled Jack and Jill connecting bathroom. One bedroom has a regular-sized crib, a portacrib and a pack-n-play. There is plenty of closet space as well.

Upstairs also includes an office with a view of the creek. It has a convertible sofa, which I didn't list as a fifth bedroom, but could function as one.

Some of the more unique features are a library with a spiral staircase, that leads to a large children’s playroom above the garage (which includes a wonderful set of Lionel electric trains and a dollhouse). Adjacent to the library is a TV room with comfy chairs.

The eat-in kitchen has all the standard and luxury amenities, including a new gas range, a new Bosch dishwasher, a microwave, a blender and a Keurig machine.

There are very few bugs and mosquitoes (not none, but few). We sit on the back deck, with a glass of wine, until the sun goes down and don’t need bug spray. And we just added an outdoor ceiling fan that is very refreshing while blowing any bugs away. There's also a covered, two-seat swing next to the creek; a good spot to watch the ducks, swans and geese swim by. When it's quiet, you'll see deer and wild turkeys visit the property.

The house is special and mainly for our family’s use, so we ask you to take good care of it. It's on a very quiet residential street, with very few cars. You'll be right in the middle of wine and farm country and right next to Greenport. The Orient Point Ferry to Connecticut is only 19 minutes away (possible day trips include a visit to Mohegan Sun). The south fork of Long Island is a hop and a skip away via Shelter Island ferries.
