A weathered-shingle cape two blocks from the water in Amityville, with the red door everyone on the street uses for directions.
The house
Three bedrooms, a brand-new roof, and a yard that ends in a privet hedge instead of a fence. The kitchen was redone two summers ago; the bath is original and priced like it. Crawl space was dry the week after a nor’easter, and I checked.
- 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1,150 sq ft
- New roof 2025, updated kitchen
- Two blocks to the bay, flood zone X
On the block
Dune Road is the quiet end of Amityville’s beach section: year-round neighbors, bikes in driveways, and the bay close enough to smell at low tide. Starter houses here get three generations of the same family at the open house.
