A licensed elevator connects all three levels, from the finished basement to the primary bedroom, providing an accessibility feature for those with mobility needs and convenient access between floors. The approximately 1,300-square-foot fully finished basement offers expansive entertaining and recreation space. Outside, an outdoor kitchen with a direct gas connection makes hosting effortless, from weekend barbecues to evenings spent under the stars. Complete with nine-zone heating, three-zone central air conditioning, and central vacuum, this distinctive Colonial brings dream-home features into everyday life. Space to grow, comfort to enjoy, and an exceptional place to call home.
Hempstead, located between Hempstead Turnpike and Jerusalem Avenue, is a suburban and commercial Levittown neighborhood with postwar capes and ranches and a steady strip-retail rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Hempstead Turnpike at Wantagh Avenue, where diners, delis, and long-running storefronts sit beside auto shops and small service counters. Housing reads as classic Levittown-era streetscapes—low rooflines, tidy setbacks, and frequent additions that personalize the originals. Eisenhower Park sets a broad green edge for golf, fields, and long walks. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and the Cradle of Aviation Museum add big-ticket events and museum days to the local calendar.
