23 Libbie Avenue

On 1/3 acre with abundant parking front and back, this early farmhouse is a true gem. A one block stroll to the shops and restaurants at Libbie and Grove, 23 Libbie Avenue was built in 1909 and is one of the first houses built in the Village of Westhampton. Formerly farm land before developed in 1907 as a result of the arrival of streetcars on Grove Avenue, the Village was designed as a walking neighborhood with sidewalks and shade trees. The original house retains its four over four windows, interior plaster walls, handsome millwork, and heart pine floors. The 1985 addition by Edward F. Sinnott and Sons, which added a downstairs family room and an upstairs owner's suite, blends seamlessly with the older part of the house. The family room opens to a sweeping rear deck with pergola overlooking a large fenced yard with long established shrub and perennial borders and an alley which runs as a greenway behind all the houses on this block. There is ample room for an addition, pool and garage. At 3364 sq ft., this charmer offers gracious living and endless possibilities. New HVAC for the addition in 2021, exterior painted 2021, kitchen refresh in 2021. Roof replaced in 2008.
