278 Ferndale Boulevard Some homes tell a story the moment you enter, and 278 Ferndale Boulevard is exactly that kind of place. This charming expanded Cape Cod, built in 1918, carries the soul of a classic Long Island farmhouse - original details, natural woodwork, hardwood floors, and the kind of character that simply cannot be replicated in new construction. Nestled on a generous .37-acre level lot in the heart of Islip, this home offers over 2, 000 square feet of total living space and is ready to welcome its next chapter. The layout is both functional and flexible, with first-floor living that includes two bedrooms, a full bath, an eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and laundry room - making single-floor living entirely possible. The second floor is home to a private primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite full bath. The partially finished basement adds additional storage space. Outside, a deck, patio, and covered porch extend your living space into the expansive backyard - all enclosed by a fenced yard on a beautifully cleared, level lot. Now for the showstopper: a detached, two-story, garage totaling 568 square feet of flex space that is truly one-of-a-kind for the price point. Whether you're a car enthusiast dreaming of the ultimate garage workshop, an artist or musician in need of a private studio, a remote worker looking for a dedicated home office, or an investor exploring accessory dwelling unit potential (with proper permits) - this versatile structure opens doors that most homes in this price range simply don't. It's the kind of bonus space people search for and rarely find. Minutes from the vibrant downtown Islip dining scene, the Great South Bay waterfront, and easy access to the Islip MacArthur Airport, this home delivers on lifestyle and location. The home is connected to public sewer as well as natural gas. Sold as-is and priced to reflect its as-is condition, 278 Ferndale is a rare opportunity for buyers searching for a home with history, land, and serious upside - whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a renovator, an investor, or simply someone who appreciates a home that has something to say. Homes like this don't come around often. Come see the possibilities.
