Ronkonkoma house for sale has rustic charm, modern finishes

A Ronkonkoma Colonial that combines rustic charm and modern finishes is on the market for $649,000. The taxes are $12,478.

Located on Eastview Road, the house contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

"It's on a dead-end street," said listing agent Ryan Dunne, of HomeSmart Premier Living Realty.

The house, which sits on a 0.21-acre lot, is quite close to Lake Ronkonkoma — which includes a beach, fishing opportunities and athletic facilities.

"It's a great home for someone who wants to enjoy the outdoors," Dunne said.

Totaling more than 2,400 square feet, the seller extended the house to add more living space, Dunne said. The front of the property (the original footprint) exudes a lake house vibe, and was updated in 2015, the agent added.

"There's a wood ceiling in the eat-in kitchen, original wood floors that are nicely stained, and when you walk in, it has an old school, wood-burning oven that heats up the space," Dunne said. "It's all custom and handcrafted, and just really unique."

Then further back into the extension, "it opens up to a bright, airy family room, with floor-to-ceiling windows," he said.

The house has been in the current owner's family for 78 years, Dunne said. Standout features include a four-seasons room, an L-shaped backyard, central air conditioning and a full unfinished basement, for which there are two stairways.

"Some people, when they do an extension, they don't break ground and increase the foundation for the basement," Dunne said. "But he extended the basement and made the ceilings a great height."

The property is in the Connetquot Central School District.

"You can do so much with the house," Dunne said. "It can be transformed into whatever you need."
