Welcome to 10 Highwood Road. This home offers a perfect combination of modern upgrades while retaining the homes natural charm. An extensively updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath California split on a quiet tree lined block. Open Floor concept with cathedral ceilings accented by wood beams and paneling. Short runs of stairs separate living, sleeping, and lower-level space so the house feels open without feeling oversized. The updated kitchen is the showpiece. Custom KraftMaid maple cabinetry, quartz counters, a marble backsplash, stainless workstation sink, Zephyr ducted range hood, and LG French-door refrigerator give you a room that actually works for entertaining. A new Andersen patio door ties the main living area to the backyard. Comfort is handled by 5-zone Mitsubishi heating and cooling. The lower level is finished with porcelain flooring and a standing shower, so it functions as real living space — family room, guest suite, or office — not leftover basement. A custom staircase railing ties the levels together. Outside, the work is recent and usable: new backyard concrete and paver hardscaping, new partial fence and lighter stone retaining walls, smart multi-zone irrigation, landscape lighting, and motion-sensing garage lights. A new driveway with paver accents is coming soon. Systems were just reset in 2026: Peerless oil-fired boiler with Riello F5 burner, 40-gallon indirect water heater, new copper water piping, and new heating/hot-water zone valves with Honeywell thermostat. Limited-lifetime warranties on the boiler and water heater and a 3-year qualifying labor warranty come with the house. Partial roof and chimney work date to 2018. Improvement documentation and select protection plans are available. Located in a small, wooded hamlet with Oyster Bay village, beaches, and marinas a few minutes north, Rothmann’s and Pine Hollow nearby, and two miles from the LIRR options. Close to shops, restaurants, parks and schools.
Oyster Bay, located between Cold Spring Harbor and Bayville, is a waterfront and historic Glen Cove neighborhood with a working harbor and leafy, estate-era streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Audrey Avenue at Spring Street, where coffee counters, independent boutiques, and old-school storefronts set a walkable, small-town cadence. The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum, the Oyster Bay Historical Society’s Earle-Wightman House, and the Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park act as cultural anchors. Shingle-style homes and classic Colonials mix with village-era cottages near the shore. Waterfront paths and marinas frame daily routines with salt-air views. Beaches and preserves shape the landscape from cove to bluff.
