    What's special

    Perfect commute to NYC, three minute walk around the block from the LIRR station with two to three trains every hour to NYC Penn Station or Grand Central in 52/54 minutes. Apartment style living (w/ Landlord maintaining exterior property and section of basement for maintenance purposes) yet the privacy of a single family country home in the suburbs. (One bedroom apartments around the corner near the LIRR rent for $3,500+ per month.) This is the original farmhouse which owned all surrounding acres in the early 20th Century. Hydrangea gardens surround the house; Hamtons-like Main street is a five minute walk (with celebrity chef-restaurants). The four bedrooms are modest in size but can each accommodate a king size bed. The Kitchen is a very large eat-in space (with a new laundry room created from the original canning pantry), a formal dining room is the largest room in the house, and a generous living room annexed to the 30' x 10' enclosed porch creates a quadruple living room space with gorgeous western late-day sun across the front gardens. As Melville Road is a busy single-lane street, the house has a large circular driveway that can accommodate three cars; and there is ample and secured yard space for BBQs and outdoor leisure. The charm of this home is endless. A truly unique property. 12 month lease w/ option for a second year at a 7% increase. Tenant responsible for electric and oil payments incurred as per contract Landlord has in place. Landlord pays water bills up to $500 for the term of the lease. Landlord maintains and pays for exterior, landscaping, maintenance, etc.
