45 Shore Road Modernized 1848 farmhouse—known locally as the “Hulse House”—pairs 19th-century character with today’s comfort directly across from Setauket Harbor (Three Village SD, taxes just $11, 392). A rebuilt wrap-around veranda frames seasonal water and sunset views; inside, 9-ft ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, oak & original wide-plank pine floors, and hand-crafted millwork celebrate the home’s pedigree. A decorative marble-mantel fireplace accents the front parlor, while the main-floor primary suite enjoys a spa bath with its own Jacuzzi-brand whirlpool tub and custom closets. The 2024 eat-in kitchen offers LG stainless appliances, gas cooking, a breakfast island and timeless wood detailing, opening to formal dining and a window-wrapped sitting room. Upstairs, two character-filled bedrooms share a refreshed full bath that also features a Jacuzzi-brand whirlpool tub. Recent upgrades include 2023 dual-zone natural-gas HVAC with central air, 2022 nitrogen-reducing IA/OWTS septic, updated plumbing, 200-amp service and whole-house 16 kW generator—historic charm without worry. Stone walks, mature plantings and a detached two-story carriage-house garage grace the one-third-acre corner lot. Stroll to the Village Green, library, harbor parks, Port Jefferson Ferry and Stony Brook University—then come home to a piece of Brookhaven history layered with turnkey ease.
