1928 Colonial in Riverhead — Tesla Solar Roof, 3-Car Heated Garage Classic Americana, for the modern age. Set on a private, fully fenced .59-acre lot, this beautifully maintained 1928 Colonial delivers rare character and thoughtful upgrades that are genuinely hard to find at this price point. The manicured grounds feature a 100-year-old Copper Beech, a Southern Magnolia, and Crepe Myrtles, with the Copper Beech a true specimen that has anchored this property for generations. Inside, the home's original bones are very much intact. Hardwood floors, custom built-in cabinetry, leaded glass, and a wood-burning stove carry the character of 1928 through every room on the main level. The chef's kitchen is appointed with custom birch cabinetry, a Bertazzoni double oven and range, GE Monogram wine refrigerator, and a breakfast nook, with a mud room just off the kitchen that includes a full bath and laundry. The dining room opens to a screened porch, one of those spaces that makes a home feel complete. All four bedrooms are upstairs, served by two full baths, one with a jetted soaking tub and one with a clawfoot tub. A full-up attic runs the length of the house, and the partially finished basement adds further flexibility. The energy profile is exceptional. A 109-panel Tesla Solar Roof, still under warranty, pairs with a Tesla Powerwall Series 2 battery for an average monthly electric bill of less than $30 a month. Irrigation runs off a private well with no water costs and no municipal restrictions. SpringWell whole-house filtration and a 200-amp panel (updated 2012) complete the thoughtful upgrades. The 3-car detached heated garage with dedicated workroom is a standout feature that rarely comes with a home at this price. Riverhead was named one of Forbes' Top 50 Places to Travel in the world in 2023, and the downtown, home to the Long Island Aquarium, the Suffolk Theater, and a growing restaurant scene along the Peconic waterfront, is only getting better with a $32.6 million revitalization now underway. Positioned at the gateway to the East End, you have easy access to North Fork vineyards and farm stands, the Hamptons and South Fork beaches, and LIRR and LIE connections for the city.
