Updated ranch in the heart of Wantagh Woods with easy one-level living on a fully fenced 70 x 100 lot, with three bedrooms, two updated baths, a finished basement and an attached garage. The renovated eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry and prep space, opening to bright living and dining rooms. Sliding doors lead to a rear deck overlooking the private backyard. The finished basement adds a full lower level of space for a recreation room, home office, gym or guest area, with room for storage and laundry. And the location delivers. This is Wantagh, the Gateway to Jones Beach, with the ocean about ten minutes down the Wantagh Parkway and the Wantagh LIRR station reaching Penn Station in just under an hour. You're minutes from Wantagh Park's marina, pools, and dog park; the wooded trails and fishing lakes of Twin Lakes Preserve; and the Cedar Creek bike path that runs straight to Jones Beach. Add downtown Wantagh's shops and restaurants and the Wantagh School District, and and it's no surprise homes here are in such high demand. See this one before it's gone.

Hempstead, located between Hempstead Turnpike and Jerusalem Avenue, is a suburban and commercial Levittown neighborhood with postwar capes and ranches and a steady strip-retail rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Hempstead Turnpike at Wantagh Avenue, where diners, delis, and long-running storefronts sit beside auto shops and small service counters. Housing reads as classic Levittown-era streetscapes—low rooflines, tidy setbacks, and frequent additions that personalize the originals. Eisenhower Park sets a broad green edge for golf, fields, and long walks. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and the Cradle of Aviation Museum add big-ticket events and museum days to the local calendar.
