A one-story Holbrook home on the market for $519,000 is a market rarity, according to listing agent Frank Mistretta.
"In this marketplace, it's very hard to buy anything at this price point," said Mistretta, of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. "There's not much available in the low 500s."
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom house on Officials Avenue was built in 1955 and covers 890 square feet, according to property records. Taxes on the 0.2-acre property, which falls within the Sachem Central School District, total $7,396.
"I think it's perfect for a single person, or newly married, or a millennial, someone who's just getting started," Mistretta said. "This is a perfect starter home for them."

Mistretta described the house as clean and move-in ready, with an unfinished basement and wood-burning fireplace. Updates made over approximately the past two years, according to Mistretta, include a new electric panel, hot water heater, oil tank, washing machine and dryer.

As a repeat house flipper — with his wife, he said, he has flipped six homes in eight years — Mistretta said he sees potential in this property.
"If the buyer extended it to the left, they would have an opportunity to make a lot of money, because there's a lot of property to the left of the house" he said.
