Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood of Ronkonkoma is a freshly renovated two-bedroom, one-bath ranch with a modest footprint — and a price tag that by Long Island standards is hardly outrageous.

At $399,000, the 900-square-foot home at 233 Pawnee St. is one of the rare decent finds still listed under $400K on Long Island — a price point that’s become more and more difficult to find across much of Suffolk and Nassau.

The home will cost its buyer roughly $443 per square foot, which is high even by Long Island’s current real estate standards. But the quaint little abode comes with a slew of updates and upgrades that help soften the blow.

Newly renovated, the home boasts new siding, roof, windows and doors — plus a gleaming-new kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless steel Energy Star appliances. There’s also a tankless water heater and new plumbing and electrical throughout.

While there’s no denying it’s small, the interior layout feels open and bright thanks to recessed lighting, clean lines and fresh finishes. Both bedrooms are modest in size, but move-in ready, says the listing.

The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and the bathroom is light, bright and appropriately updated. A laundry room connects to the kitchen.

The lot is just over 4,300 square feet, and the backyard is fully fenced with a small patio and enough space for outdoor dining or a tiny garden. The description at Signature Premier Properties indicates that there’s a pool outside, but there are no photos in the listing showing it.

There’s no central air, but it won’t take too big of an air conditioner to cool off these cozy little quarters. Additionally, there’s oil heat via baseboards; the oil tank is outside the house in the backyard.

At just under 900 square feet, this home is clearly not aiming to be the neighborhood showstopper — but for buyers hoping to break into homeownership in a central Suffolk community, it could be a quaint, low-maintenance option.
