Welcome to 97 Sunset Drive - where everyday living feels like a breath of fresh coastal air. Impeccably maintained, this spacious South Sayville center hall colonial offers the best of both worlds - classic Sayville charm paired with extensive updates and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The designer kitchen, renovated just six years ago, is truly the heart of the home, featuring custom white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, striking patterned backsplash, and a dramatic navy center island perfect for gathering and entertaining. The kitchen opens effortlessly into spacious dining and living areas accented by hardwood floors, classic millwork, recessed lighting, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. With en-suite bedrooms on both the first and second floors, the home offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, multigenerational living, or the option of a first-floor primary suite while still maintaining comfort and privacy for everyone. Step outside and enjoy the large backyard and expansive deck, ideal for summer gatherings, along with the welcoming front porch where peaceful canal views across the street create the perfect setting for morning coffee or an evening drink. Set on a shy third-acre on one of Sayville's loveliest streets, this special home is just moments from town, the LIRR, Main Street shops and restaurants, Fire Island ferries, and all of the parades, festivals, and farmers markets for which Sayville is renowned. Additional updates include brand new central air conditioning, a refurbished furnace (2025), hot water heater (2023), and washer and dryer approximately 5 years young.
