About This Home

Experience waterfront living in Massapequa at this 5 bedroom, 3 bath home, perfectly positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac with sweeping bay views from nearly every room. This rare bayview property sits on a canal, giving you the best of both worlds: dramatic open-water views plus safe, protected boat storage and your own private boat ramp for effortless launching and everyday convenience. Thoughtful, mature landscaping creates a true private oasis in the front lawn area, setting the home back from the street and offering a secluded, welcoming approach before you even step inside. Inside, generous living and dining areas are oriented toward the water, creating a light-filled coastal feel, and the common spaces flow toward the backyard and canal so the water is always in view. Upstairs, the serene primary suite features two closets, its own private deck, and beautiful bay views, giving you a quiet indoor-outdoor retreat to start and end your day. Outside, the cul-de-sac setting provides minimal traffic, while a charming park directly across the street adds green space, play area, and an open neighborhood feel. This is a unique opportunity to own a Massapequa bayview home with canal frontage, private boat ramp, and rare privacy.
