About This Home
Step into timeless elegance at 203 8th Avenue, a beautifully preserved 1888 Victorian home nestled in the heart of the coveted Sea Cliff, NY. Imagine owning a piece of Sea Cliff history. Just a short, delightful stroll takes you to the beach, where you can soak in breathtaking Long Island Sound sunsets. Embrace the idyllic village life with walkable access to local shops, acclaimed restaurants, the library, and the top-rated Sea Cliff Elementary School – all within this charming one-square-mile community just 25 miles from NYC.
Preserving its original grandeur, the home boasts soaring 9-foot ceilings adorned with period medallions and chandeliers, expansive windows bathing the space in light, and elegant pocket doors. The main floor flows effortlessly from a spacious foyer into a bright, airy dining room connected to the large kitchen – perfect for entertaining and everyday living. Relax in the inviting living room, featuring a cozy fireplace and a stunning stained-glass door that opens to the expansive wraparound porch. Picture yourself enjoying morning coffee or evening cocktails surrounded by the vibrant colors and sweet scent of over 100 rose bushes that grace the property.
Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, enhanced by thoughtful details. A standout feature is the newly renovated, expansive third-floor attic. Complete with skylights and dedicated climate control, this versatile space offers endless possibilities – a luxurious fifth bedroom, a spacious home office, a media room, or a dream playroom.
Escape to your private sanctuary in the exceptionally large, nearly half-acre backyard – a true rarity in Sea Cliff. Meticulously landscaped and fully fenced, the grounds feature a spectacular rose garden, mature rhododendrons, fragrant wisteria, fruit trees, and ample lawn space for recreation and relaxation. Crucially, this expansive outdoor space comprises two separate tax parcels, including an approximately 1/4 acre buildable lot. This presents a unique opportunity for a future guest house, an in-law apartment, or even the potential for separate sale or development, adding significant long-term value. Enjoy effortless upkeep with an internet-connected irrigation system covering the entire property, including dedicated driplines for garden beds and trees.
This home seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern necessities, including central air conditioning and a comprehensive, centrally monitored security system with sensors, smoke, and CO detectors for your peace of mind.
Originally a summer retreat, Sea Cliff is now a vibrant, close-knit year-round community known for its picturesque streets, friendly atmosphere, and rich cultural scene. Enjoy year-round village events like the Mini Mart, Sunset Serenades, seasonal festivals, and strolls through the 16 neighborhood parks. Benefit from access to the highly-acclaimed North Shore School District, beautiful beaches, the Sea Cliff Yacht Club, and a thriving arts community.
