Property Description

EVERY WINDOW has a VIEW!! Wake up to birdsong, coffee on the screened porch, and a view of the pond and woods -- this is the home and the lot you've been waiting for. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in coveted Creekside at Bethpage, this exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bath home with dedicated office and loft sits on one of the best lots in the neighborhood -- steps to the greenway, with a wooded privacy buffer, and bordered by a serene pond. With only one neighbor and a fenced yard, the peace and privacy here are genuinely rare. The main floor includes two bedrooms and a dedicated office with French doors, making true first-floor living a reality. The gourmet kitchen features a GE Speed Oven, built-in microwave, 5-burner GE Profile range and wall oven, a built-in silverware drawer, a pullout cabinet drawer, and solid wood pantry shelves -- all flowing openly into the dining and family area, making it the natural gathering spot when friends come over. A fireplace flanked by custom built-ins (added 2024) anchors the family room, and upstairs, a light-filled loft and third bedroom offer flexible space for guests, hobbies, or simply soaking in the treetop views. Step outside and the lot delivers in every season. The screened porch is a genuine retreat -- birds, trees, pond views, and a quietness that's hard to find. A gas line off the back of the house means your grill can hook up permanently. The patio extends your outdoor living. Outdoor faucets on both sides of the house and in the back add everyday convenience. Storage surprises await too: a Container Store garage organization system (2024), multiple attic spaces, and thoughtful details throughout. The sellers have taken exceptional care of this home. Recent updates include a new garbage disposal (2025, 2-year warranty), a flushed water heater, new pressure reducing valve, new thermal expansion tank, new gas connector on the stove, and a rebuilt exterior hose bib -- all completed by JD Service Now in 2025. The HVAC system has been professionally inspected and is functioning properly. Then there's the community. Creekside at Bethpage is a 55+ neighborhood. Just a greenway's walk away are the resort-style amenities that residents actually use -- pickleball courts, pool, fitness center, clubhouse with social and game rooms, arts and crafts, billiards, amphitheater, gardening plots, bocce ball, lawn bowling, tennis, and miles of walking and biking trails. Tuesday evening Food Trucks in the summer, a full events calendar, and an incredibly active social scene make this a place where neighbors become friends. And when you want to venture out? Walk or bike to The Goat Brier Creek (just 1.3 miles) for coffee or a meal, grab a pint at Trali Irish Pub or the Brier Creek Beer Garden, or explore the many restaurants Brier Creek has to offer -- all just minutes away. Homes with this lot, this layout, and this lifestyle don't come around often. Home beautifully prepared for market, including repair items. Repair receipts available upon request!
