This house is avaible in October and for the Holiday Season.
One of the most beautiful houses in the area. The grounds are at their peak in the fall and at the holidays, which are often snowy. Ideal for quiet weekends and walks on the beach. When the tourists are gone, this place is paradise.

The 200 years old house is filled with child-friendly antiques.

Why the Owner Chose Brookhaven
My kids are busy and don't want to spend the time traveling to the Hamptons, but even more Bellport and Brookhaven Hamlet, which are sister towns, are quiet, leafy, more like New England towns than Long Island. The neighbors are friendly -- I'm on a bunch of boards -- but they're not nosy. If you need kids for your kids to play with, there a really nice ones nearby. Sailing lessons and swimming lessons are available for kids and grownups. The nature walks are fantastic.
The Unique Benefits at this 200 Year Old House
We love the peace and quiet, the proximity to Fire Island. The house is on the edge of a greenbelt that stretches across the island and is great for hiking and bird watching. There's a stable nearby. We're in the country, but close to town.
Owner's Map of Brookhaven
I am a writer, who has published lots of books and magazine articles and I'm now finishing my first detective story. I also like to paint insects. (Not as kinky as it sounds.) My son and his wife and kids share the house on summer weekends. He owns a TV production company and she works for the United Nations.
