7720 5 We are featuring a home with an exceptional location, and unlimited potential in Southold, New York.

One of the most enduring characteristics of a “solid” home purchase is LOCATION. In Southold, while choices abound for opportunity, we recently listed a home that seems to have it all.

A stellar location, 7720 Soundview Avenue is set back amongst trees, with privacy afforded- “Great Pond” is directly across the street.

Surrounded by homes that are higher in asking price (currently available pricing ranges from $895k to nearly 3million), this home provides walking distance proximity to the Long Island Sound, with Kenneys Beach providing a day of fun destination for both kids and adults. An easy, tree lined walk provides the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy one of the most lovely beaches offered in the area. 7720 4

Location: CHECK.

Due to the abundance of larger homes dotting Soundview Avenue, 7720 provides an entry price point well below the “norm” for this location. While the size and views justify the asking prices, purchasing in a location with properties in the “stellar” range is always a good idea.

Price: CHECK.

7720 4 In keeping with age old advice to purchase potential as well as price and location, while this home is perfect as a “weekend getaway”, the presence of a newly erected, heated three car garage is food for the imagination- should the need to “expand” present itself, the structure affords additional space, with potential for finishing. A guest area,or private work space, is ripe for finishing, with privacy afforded. In addition to the three car garage, the existing one-car attached garage is waiting for finishing- asun-room, perhaps, or a master suite?

Potential: CHECK.

7720 Soundview Additionally, the owners have lovingly engaged in their “green thumb” activities- while the trees have yet to bloom, the flowers planted over the years are starting to emerge. Coupled with a pond just outside the front door, and a hot tub in the back, this home offers a wonderful vacation feeling- “peaceful” comes to mind. Combined with the charming location of a town intent on retaining a rural feel, the opportunity is rare, indeed.
