700-square-foot West Islip cottage hits market for $499,999; room to grow on large lot

A king-sized bed. A dining room set. And a pool table.

You may as well cross them all off your shopping list if you wind up moving into this 700-square-foot West Islip cottage.

The one-bedroom, one-bath home at 71 Paprocki Ave. has hit the market for $499,999, and while it offers a compact footprint, a key selling point is its spacious, park-like backyard.

Built in 1940, the cottage features an open floor plan, eat-in kitchen and breakfast bar, along with updates that include a recently installed roof and windows that are backed by a transferable 50-year warranty.

Because the home sits on a 75-by-125-foot lot, giving buyers plenty of room to expand and reimagine the outdoor space. Or perhaps just enjoy the extra breathing room.

The home is listed by Patty Vorilas of Douglas Elliman.
