Welcome to The Tides, one of Rocky Point's most desirable communities. This three-bedroom, three-bath L-ranch is set on a .35-acre corner lot at the entrance to a cul-de-sac, surrounded by the subdivision's attractive mix of architectural home styles, broad curb-lined roads, and gently rolling blocks. The home's classic L-shaped layout provides excellent separation of space, with the bedrooms-including the primary suite with private bath-positioned along the south side of the home. A generous entry foyer with coat closet creates a natural transition into the formal living and dining areas, while the inviting den features a wood-burning fireplace and opens to the large eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar. At the rear of the home, find an in-line laundry area, third full bath with shower, and direct access to the oversized two-car garage with additional attic storage. The full basement with outside entrance, multiple windows and high ceilings make for a great space to create an at-home gym, work space or play room. Additional features include central air conditioning, an updated oil burner, single-layer architectural roof, cedar walk-in closet, full attic with pull-down staircase, covered front porch, and rear porch accessed through sliding glass doors. Please note there is plywood beneath the carpeting. Lovingly maintained in largely original condition since its 1968 construction, this home offers a rare opportunity to preserve its substantial character or reimagine it into the open, modern ranch so many buyers seek today. Its proven construction, generous footprint, and highly functional layout provide an exceptional canvas for the next owner. Residents of The Tides enjoy private deeded access to Tide Beach through electronically gated entry, with seasonal security, bathrooms, a barbecue and seating area, private playground, and access to Long Island Sound. Conveniently located moments from Rocky Point's business district, shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. A tax grievance has been filed.
