    What's special

    Been searching for a home in South Wantagh? This expanded cape with a full dormer is full of charm and possibilities — and it's ready for you to make it your own! Facing east, the home is bathed in natural light and welcomes a lovely cross breeze throughout the day. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms — including an oversized primary — and two full bathrooms, one on each floor. The open-concept layout creates a warm and spacious feel, and with the potential to convert additional space on the main level into two more bedrooms, this home is ideal for a growing household, multigenerational living, or even a mother-daughter setup. Sliding glass doors open to a fully fenced, private backyard with a detached garage — perfect for summer BBQs, entertaining with family and friends, or simply relaxing. And a separate laundry room on the first floor is a big plus! Situated mid-block on a quiet street, it is just steps from Wantagh Park and Marina, which features newly renovated playgrounds, a swimming complex, mini-golf course, and more. It is also close to Mill Pond Preserve, Cedar Creek Park, Jones Beach Bike Path, Boardwalk and Amphitheater, top-rated dining, excellent shopping, and many major highways — a truly unbeatable location on the South Shore! Wantagh School District
