Historic Long Island Farmhouse “Like a Warm Hug”

Grace Cassidy Located at 184 Twomey Avenue in Calverton, NY, just a 10-minute drive from the Long Island Sound, this late-19th-century home offers historic charm, modern convenience and ample space for $999,000. Once home to the Twomey family, for whom the street was named, the 1870 farmhouse was renovated in 2016 and features wide plank oak floors throughout the home, as well as reclaimed barn beams and a cast-iron wood stove. “This modern farmhouse feels like a warm hug,” said Codi Garcete , the Douglas Elliman agent representing the listing. “It makes you feel safe and secure the moment you walk inside.” The chef’s kitchen is complete with commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, radiant heated flooring and luxe quartz countertops, making meal preparation and entertaining guests simple and enjoyable. Plus, with two ovens, it’s easy to make multi-course dinners or keep a freshly baked dessert warm. There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across 2,800 square feet, making it a great home for small families. Extra storage space can be found in the walk-up attic or half basement. Occupying three-quarters of an acre of land, the property includes a hardscape patio with a pergola, a fenced vegetable garden, a detached one-car garage with additional outdoor parking, a potting shed and a barn board hen house.
