Three bedrooms, hardwood floors and ocean beaches within walking distance — this Mastic Beach home delivers unexpected value at $299,900.
The expanded ranch-style house at 62 Orchid Drive continues to sit on the market for $279,900. Listed seven months ago, the property includes three bedrooms, one bath and roughly 1,222 square feet of living space on a deep 7,841-square-foot mid-block lot.
Built in 1934, the property is listed as a bank-owned foreclosure by Island Advantage Realty’s Todd Yovino.
Inside, the living and dining areas flow into a large eat-in kitchen, all boasting original hardwood floors. The layout offers practicality, with three bedrooms suitable for multi-generational living or guests.
A crawl-space basement houses utilities, and there’s an attic with a pulldown stairs. The house is heated by electric and forced-air systems.

Why it matters
At just $245 per square foot, the home presents an affordable entry point into South Shore real estate — particularly noteworthy given the region’s tight pricing. Annual taxes are estimated at $6,140, and monthly mortgage payments could be around $2,165 with standard financing.
The property also functions as a potential renovation project — a clean slate with solid bones for investors or buyers willing to expand and update.
Bank-owned homes often price below market averages, making this one a compelling purchase option.
The home is part of the William Floyd School District, with access to Tangier Smith Elementary, William Paca Middle and William Floyd High School.
