Set on 1.4 peaceful acres, this extraordinary residence was crafted using 60,000 lbs. of imported, hand hewn pine logs. The results: a magical home with a level of character, quality and craftsmanship that would be nearly impossible to recreate today. Beautiful wide-plank floors, imported interior doors and hardware, select imported windows and rich natural woodwork give the home an unmistakable character. An incredible 16 skylights bring natural light throughout, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, bright and wonderfully connected to the outdoors. The four-bedroom layout offers flexibility, including a convenient main-level bedroom. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a beautiful primary suite, thoughtfully updated in 2024 and made even more inviting by its own fireplace, one of four throughout the home. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A spacious den with radiant heat floors and FP, formal dining room with FP, sunroom with soaring ceiling and wall of windows, office with FP, mud room and laundry room with updated W/D round out the first floor. A full basement with high ceilings offers tremendous potential for additional finished space. Central A/C, four-zone heating and a two-car garage with an electric vehicle charging port add modern comfort and convenience. Conveniently located near beaches and major parkways, this is a home that offers privacy without feeling removed. There are homes you can describe by beds, baths and square footage and then there are homes you need to experience. 2 British Colony Road is one of them.

Long Island, located between New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and suburban New York neighborhood with barrier beaches and commuter rail hubs. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Jamaica Station complex, where LIRR platforms, bus bays, and street-level storefronts create a constant current of movement. Housing shifts from compact prewar village centers to postwar capes and split-levels, with marinas and bayfront parks shaping daily routines. Jones Beach State Park and the Long Island Aquarium serve as signature day-trip anchors. The Paramount in Huntington and the Nassau County Museum of Art add a cultural throughline beyond the shoreline. Farm stands, delis, and small main streets stitch together a landscape defined by parkways, dunes, and bays.
