This vintage 1928 home is at the moment the only stand‑alone property in Patchogue Village listed for under $400,000.
With three bedrooms, 1½ baths, and just under 1,000 square feet of property, the humble home at 85 Robert St. blends character, efficiency and a boatload of potential in a neighborhood where prices are steadily rising.
Built in 1928, the home retains such classic details as custom built-in bookshelves and a gas fireplace, while offering modern updates where it counts. Twin enclosed porches provide extra living space for work, leisure or quiet mornings with coffee.
The bathroom features tasteful tile work, and the walk-out basement includes a new ejector pump. Natural gas lines and low taxes enable the property to balance charm with sensible living.
The property, which is asking $399,000, is tucked away in the neighborhood east of Medford Avenue and north of Main Street. It’s just minutes from downtown Patchogue’s restaurants and shops, as well as Patchogue’s LIRR station.
Living room with built-in bookshelves and gas fireplace
Offered by Marina Putova at Coldwell Banker M&D Good Life, the home at 85 Robert St. stands out with story-rich architecture from the 1920s.
Rear yard and lot views — lots of bamboo
Be wary of the overgrown landscaping in the backyard. Depending on how you feel about bamboo, you may or not have a lot of work ahead of you.
There’s a ton of it. In fact, it practically envelops the dilapidated shed (or garage) in the back.
The kitchen and bathrooms
The kitchen and both bathrooms offer plenty of potential for personalized updates.
The main bathroom, seen below, carries an eclectic, vintage vibe, mixing ornate wood furnishings and patterned details with practical updates. It boasts a roomy shower with built-in shelving. Natural light fills the space.
Here’s where things get a little quirky — but definitely fun. Tucked under the eaves, the half bath upstairs makes the most of its sloped ceiling with a bold splash of color and gilded mirror accents, creating a distinctive, character-filled space.
Upstairs bedrooms
Upstairs living space is limited, but the layout offers the chance to establish cozy retreats and squeeze out the most from every square foot. A large skylight window lets in plenty of natural light.
A study in character
Downstairs, one of the rooms doubles as a study or sitting space, with warm wood floors, natural light through lace curtains, and a vintage feel that hints at the home’s 1920s roots.
