Set on an expansive corner lot in Merrick, this exceptional three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom single-family home has been meticulously gut-renovated down to the foundation. Combining a refined interior with extensive structural, mechanical, and exterior improvements, the property offers generous living space, abundant greenery, and a truly move-in-ready experience. The first floor features a dedicated dining room and an inviting living room centered around a fireplace with a striking stone accent wall. Wainscoting finished in a sophisticated deep-blue tone, elegant crown molding, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, custom wood radiator covers, and carefully selected light fixtures create a timeless, upscale atmosphere throughout. Two bedrooms are located on this level, including a primary bedroom with its own half bathroom. A brand-new full bathroom showcases a blue vanity with gold hardware, a new bathtub, and a sleek sliding glass enclosure. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the brand-new kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, high-end countertops, and premium stainless-steel appliances. An extended peninsula with pendant lighting provides additional preparation space, casual seating, and a natural gathering place. A convenient side entrance leads to the yard by way of a newly constructed staircase. Upstairs, a massive third bedroom offers impressive flexibility and privacy, while an attic provides valuable additional storage space. The enormous finished basement is distinguished by its high ceilings, separate entrance, recessed lighting, and exceptional amount of usable space. It also includes a washer and dryer and a beautifully finished full bathroom with modern tilework and a classy vanity, making the lower level ideal for recreation, a home office, guests, a gym, or additional storage. Major improvements include extensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, a brand-new boiler, new water heater, new roof, and new exterior siding that combines crisp white vinyl with blue shake-style accents. New cement has been poured around the perimeter of the home, while the freshly finished asphalt driveway leads to a one-car garage with new paint. Surrounded by substantial yard space and mature greenery, the large corner property has been professionally landscaped while still offering tremendous potential for further customization. With its extensive renovation, impressive interior finishes, oversized basement, private driveway, garage, and spacious outdoor areas, this distinctive Merrick home delivers comfort, craftsmanship, and flexibility on every level. **Please note the listed tax is without the STAR discount**
