The possibilities for living in the classic style are endless in this stately Patchogue home on historic North Ocean Avenue.
Its listing agent, Joyce Roe of Douglas Elliman, would know — she lived there for 15 years, having sold the house to its current owner in 1995.
“We had more dinner parties in that house. I would hire a piano player,” she said. “My husband was involved in the Rotary and the Chamber. I think everybody who lived in Patchogue was at my house at some point when I was there. It was just that kind of house.”

The three-story home has maid quarters on the third floor and a finished basemen. So there’s four floors of living space. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. There’s a modern kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite countertops.
In the back, summer visitors will find a large deck from which they can sip morning coffee or tomato juice before stepping down into a green expanse of lawn for a short stroll.
Above all, Roe said, the circa 1890 house is finely built. It’s no money pit like some century-old houses.
“It’s a good-bones house,” she said. “It was built by people who owned a lumber yard. Sometimes with old homes they’re all settled and the floors are drooping, the walls are cracked.
“This on the other hand is a tough structure and when you go in you can appreciate the quality.”
