House for Sale, 17 Woodbridge Lane 11978

Description

Located on a quiet lane near the bay, this historic shingled house - "Cricket Hill," built in 1881 - was significantly updated and expanded in 2017. The house retains all the character and grandeur of classic summer houses - a wood-paneled library with fireplace; a screened porch with room for rocking chairs - and all the amenities and conveniences of a contemporary home. The main floor features a new professional kitchen with butler's pantry; a formal dining room; a living room with wood-burning fireplace; a family room with natural gas fireplace; and a first-floor primary suite with radiant-heat bathroom floors, steam shower and laundry. Head upstairs to find 4 more bedrooms, a study (convertible to a bedroom), a sitting room, and 3 new baths, all arranged in a layout that allows both convenience and privacy. The third floor is one enormous bonus room, trimmed top to bottom with wood beadboard, ideal for a playroom, artist studio, or additional work space. There's also a second entertainment/bonus room on the lower level, along with abundant storage space. Outside are cutting gardens, shady lawns, a vintage playhouse, a pool with patio dining and firepit, and water access around the corner on Alden Lane. This is a rare opportunity for people who love both historic homes and modern comforts (like natural gas heat). Located minutes from beaches and barely a mile from the newly reimagined Westhampton Beach Main Street.
