This home is a true gem. Set on a beautiful tree-lined street in the Boulevard section, less than a mile from the Mineola LIRR station, 181 Elderberry Road has been updated from top to bottom. With a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, it’s ready for you to move right in. The care that’s gone into this house shows from the moment you walk in. A custom-built cabinet and coat rack in the entrance foyer keep shoes and coats out of sight. Past the foyer, you step into a den with a fireplace framed in custom woodwork, the kind of room that makes you want to stay a while. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown moldings and custom wainscoting carry throughout the home. Toward the back of the house, a full living and dining entertainment space opens straight out to the yard. The custom-designed dry bar, finished with soft accent lighting and a wine/beverage refrigerator, makes hosting easy whether your guests stay inside or spill out onto the deck. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat, with vaulted ceilings trimmed in custom woodwork, his and hers closets, and an oversized bathroom. Three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second level, giving everyone room to grow. Pull-down stairs lead to a full attic with plywood flooring, ideal for extra storage. The backyard is made for long summer days and nights, with a sizable composite deck, a pergola, a huge paver patio and an outdoor kitchen area. The BBQ runs on a natural gas hookup, so you’ll never have to swap out another propane tank. An in-ground sprinkler system keeps the lawn healthy and green through the warmer months. The big-ticket items are already done. A full extension with a dug-out basement underneath offering 7-foot ceilings, makes this home larger than average in the area. Andersen windows and ductless split units for A/C throughout the house were both installed 4 years ago. Natural gas baseboard heating, a new hot water heater and a central vacuum system round out the mechanicals. The heated 1.5-car garage includes bonus storage above, spanning its full footprint. The location makes daily life easy. Shopping and restaurants are close by, and getting anywhere on Long Island or into the city is simple, with the LIRR, the Meadowbrook Parkway, the Northern State Parkway and the LIE all just minutes away. Homes like this don’t come along often. Book your showing before it’s too late !
