About this home

Opportunity knocks in Shirley! Located on a spacious 50x217 corner lot, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers incredible potential for investors, builders, or buyers looking to customize their dream home. This single-level home sits on a slab foundation (no basement) and includes a 1-car garage and an extra-large driveway, providing ample parking and convenience. The property has been gutted to the studs following a pipe break, offering a blank canvas to renovate exactly to your vision. The home also features an in-ground pool with a valid Certificate of Occupancy, ready to be restored, and a CO remains on file for a previously removed shed. Perfectly positioned on Long Island’s South Shore, this home is just minutes from Smith Point County Park, offering some of the area’s best ocean beaches, camping, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Enjoy close proximity to vibrant downtowns including Patchogue, Bellport Village, Center Moriches, and Westhampton Beach—all known for dining, shopping, marinas, and coastal lifestyle amenities. Shirley offers a unique blend of coastal living and convenience, with easy access to Suffolk County parks, scenic beaches, golf courses, and nature preserves. Commuters benefit from proximity to major roadways and the Long Island Rail Road, providing a direct connection to New York City. The location also places you within reach of the world-renowned Hamptons and the charming wineries, farms, and waterfront destinations of the North Fork—making this an ideal home base for both everyday living and weekend escapes. Ideally located between New York City and the Hamptons, this property was previously enjoyed as a summer getaway and offers excellent potential as a seasonal retreat, year-round residence, or investment opportunity. With ongoing neighborhood road revitalization plans enhancing the area, now is the perfect time to invest in this up-and-coming location. Bring your vision and unlock the possibilities!
