A rare opportunity to own a piece of Stony Brook history—welcome to the Capt. Robert S. Wells House, a c.1870 Victorian rich with character, charm, and timeless appeal. Perfectly located in historic Stony Brook Village and within the acclaimed Three Village School District. Known in its day as “the house with all the windows,” this sun-filled home boasts a wealth of original features: wide plank wood floors, high ceilings, elegant crown molding, original double-door entrances, and intricate “shark tooth” millwork surrounding built-ins. Two working wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and classic ambiance, while the gracious wraparound porch offers the perfect spot to enjoy life in the heart of the village. Modern updates enhance the home’s comfort and livability—radiant heat floors in the kitchen and both full bathrooms, Marvin windows, central air, and a newer roof. The flexible floor plan includes 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with the option to create a third bedroom or home office on the first floor. While the home currently features oil heat, natural gas is already in place for cooking—offering a simple path for full conversion if desired. Enjoy the charm of Stony Brook Village with easy access to the LIRR, Port Jefferson Village and Ferry, local shops, and scenic harbor front sidewalks. This is a rare and treasured offering—where history, location, and thoughtful updates come together in perfect harmony.
