85 James Hawkins Road

Description

Welcome to 85 James Hawkins Road. One acre+ on a quiet cul-de-sac shared by only a handful of homes, with second-floor water views toward Moriches Bay. Rarely does a property like this come along. It has had one owner since the day it was built, and that matters: the people who designed it are the people who lived in it, so every system was chosen with purpose and maintained with care. You won't inherit anyone else's shortcuts. The owners built it in 1999 and have cared for it ever since. Every system was chosen to make the house easier to live in, less costly to own and ready for anything. It shows. Mornings start with coffee in the sun on the back deck, birdsong overhead and deer or wild turkeys wandering under the mature trees. The wrap-around deck connects to the front porch, which faces west toward the water and catches the evening light. Summer means dinners off the propane grill and nights in the screened gazebo. Fall paints the trees around you. Winter is for the two fireplaces. Inside, hardwood floors and Andersen windows frame a living room with a propane fireplace and a formal dining room overlooking the yard. The eat-in kitchen pairs maple cabinetry and granite with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, wall oven, cooktop and microwave, and a den lined with closets offers a quiet place to unwind. Upstairs are four bedrooms, some with water views: a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and private bath, an oversized bedroom with its own fireplace that now serves as a second den, and two more generous rooms. Owned solar and geothermal heating and cooling, with no lease or loan to assume, keep energy bills very low. In-ground sprinklers run off a private irrigation well, so a green lawn never shows up on the water bill. The oversized two-car garage has an EV charger. A new roof (2025), a new driveway and 200-amp service mean nothing is waiting on your to-do list. When the street goes dark in a storm, your lights stay on. A propane whole-house Generac carries the entire home, and oil heat stands by as a backup. An alarm system, a spotless heated basement with outside entry and an outdoor shed that keeps gasoline and equipment out of the house complete a home that takes care of you. Minutes to marinas with quick access to Moriches Bay and the inlet, about 2.5 miles to the train station, and easy access to Montauk and Sunrise Highways. The Hamptons are a short drive east, making beach days and dinners out an easy day trip. William Floyd School District
