203 8th Avenue, Sea Cliff, NY, 11579 | $1,824,999

Welcome to 203 8th Avenue, a beautifully preserved home in the heart of Sea Cliff, NY. This charming residence combines historic character with modern comfort, offering a cozy, inviting space just a short stroll from the beach and unforgettable sunsets over the Long Island Sound. Walk to the local shops, restaurants, and even walk your kids to school or any of the 16 neighborhood parks in this idyllic one-square-mile village, just 25 miles from New York City. Step inside this 1888 Victorian home with many original features, including 9-foot ceilings with medallions and period chandeliers. The main floor includes a spacious foyer and a bright and airy dining room off the large kitchen, creating a perfect space for entertaining and family meals. The living room offers expansive windows, large pocket doors, a fireplace, and a stained glass door leading to a wraparound porch. It’s the perfect spot to sit back and relax, surrounded by the sweet scent and vibrant colors of the 100-plus rose bushes. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee or watching the sunset as you unwind on this inviting porch. The bedrooms are generously sized, offering a peaceful retreat. The bathrooms have a vintage charm with classic tilework and timeless details that complement the home's character. A standout feature of this home is the newly renovated and expansive attic. This massive space with skylights offers endless possibilities as a fifth bedroom, a playroom for the kids, or a home office. It’s a fantastic bonus area that adds incredible value and flexibility to the home. Out back, you’ll find something rare for Sea Cliff—a true backyard. At nearly half an acre, the property provides plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. The rose garden is spectacular when in bloom, as are the decades-old rhododendrons, wisteria, and other plantings. Whether you're relaxing on a quiet afternoon or watching the kids play, this fully fenced, landscaped, and spacious backyard is a private oasis. There’s also an Internet-connected irrigation system for the lawn sprinklers covering the entire property, along with driplines for all of the rose beds, ornamental trees, and fruit trees. The home is equipped with modern safety and convenience features, including central station monitoring with an Internet control panel for entry sensors on all doors and windows, motion detectors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family. Originally a small resort town for New York City’s summer residents, Sea Cliff has grown into a vibrant year-round community, and this home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and architectural beauty of that time. The home’s original details, combined with the modern updates, make it the perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary living. Sea Cliff itself is a lovely, close-knit community, offering year-round activities for both kids and adults. For children, the village offers summer camps, sports leagues, and even a local skate park. The Sea Cliff Yacht Club provides sailing lessons, and the library hosts children’s programs and story hours. Adults can enjoy local wine-tasting events, yoga on the beach in the warmer months, and seasonal art shows and countless community gatherings. Sea Cliff’s quaint streets and friendly vibe make it a true gem on Long Island’s North Shore. 203 8th Avenue isn’t just a house; it’s a piece of history with all the comforts of modern living. With space for a growing family, a beautiful backyard, and an attic that could be whatever you need, this home is a rare find.
