25 Fairchild Street, Huntington, NY 11743

OFFER ACCEPTED. Positioned discreetly above West Shore Road in the historic Ridgefield Highlands Association, 25 Fairchild Street commands 180-degree views across Huntington Harbor and direct, gated access to a private beach, dock, and moorings. Built in the 1920s in the cottage style, the house offers a befittingly regal scale and much of its original architectural integrity. The property's gently sloping site comprises mature plantings and privet, a manicured lawn with picket fence, and sculptural bluestone retaining walls. The primary level features a grand, 19 x 22' great room with 16' high sky-lit vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with period mantle. Large-scale, arched sash windows frame the space, affording mesmerizing scenes of Huntington Harbor and its seasonal array of sailboats and marine life. Beyond the great room is a sky-lit kitchen with vaulted ceilings, opening onto a formal dining room overlooking the harbor. Both the dining room and great room provide direct access to a covered porch with steps down to a brick patio, built-in grill, and a perfectly proportioned lawn for sunning and leisurely fun. The remainder of the main floor includes two generously-sized bedrooms and one full bath. The lower level is an English basement with full egress to the backyard and its lush surroundings. At present the configuration accommodates a one-bay garage, laundry, powder room, and multiple storage and utility rooms. Although partially finished, the space can easily be converted to create additional bedrooms, a full bath, and informal lounging. Upgraded conveniences include central air conditioning, forced-air gas heat, a brand-new hot water heater, inground irrigation, double-paned sash windows, and integrated security with smart home automation. A rare and spellbinding retreat, 25 Fairchild Street delivers immediate access to several private boating clubs as well as the historic, amenity-rich villages of Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor. This legacy property can be enjoyed year-round as a primary residence or as a weekend and holiday getaway-a perfect East End alternative. Unusually low taxes coupled with high income potential and virtually limitless upside make for an exceptional investment, and the new owner will receive multi-phase architectural plans commissioned by a celebrated, local architectural firm.
