Shelter Island Heights Charming Waterview Farmhouse

Located in the heart of Shelter Island Heights, this circa-1885 farmhouse-once a parish house-offers a rare combination of architectural character and enduring charm. A wide L-shaped porch welcomes you, with one side screened for breezy summer evenings and the other open to views of Chase Creek. The front entry opens into a generously sized living room that spans the depth of the home, with natural light filtering in from multiple exposures. Just off this space is a glass-enclosed laundry area. Toward the rear, a formal dining room-currently used as a casual family area-includes a pantry and an adjacent full bath. The kitchen features two exterior doors: one opens to the side lawn, and the other leads to a bluestone patio added in 2021, where many enjoyable gatherings have taken place. Two staircases connect to the upper levels: one from the kitchen leads directly to a guest bedroom, while the main staircase rises to a windowed landing, three additional bedrooms, and a full hallway bath with a classic clawfoot tub. The third floor includes a finished bonus room offering additional flexible space for non-sleeping use. The home sits on a .15-acre lot, and a separate .04-acre parcel at 4 Meadow Place is included. Just across the quiet lane are the quiet reflections of Chase Creek, adding to the scenic character of Shelter Island Heights. Within close proximity to fine dining, marina, yacht club, tennis, beach club, and ferry.
