Hempstead, NY 11566

When I stumbled upon 5 Oak Brook Lane, nestled in the charming Merrick Woods section of Merrick, I knew I had found something special. I’ve seen a lot of homes in my day—some too big, some too small—but this 5–6 bedroom Ranger Ranch? It felt just right. The circular paved driveway made arriving a breeze (no wandering through the woods for this girl!), and as soon as I stepped inside—shoes off, of course—I was greeted by a sun-drenched entry that felt warm and inviting. The home was so spotless and well cared for, I knew someone had really loved it. To the left, the layout flowed effortlessly into the living room, kitchen, and cozy den. To the right? A guest bedroom, full bath, and a formal dining room perfect for porridge parties. Upstairs, I found the primary suite—big enough for even Papa Bear’s standards—with an electric fireplace, ensuite bath, and deep closets that could hide even the most curious little bear. The laundry was right there, too—so convenient! And with three more bedrooms, there was room for everyone. This home has everything: central air, radiant heat, a newer roof, updated systems, and plenty of space to gather, work, or just relax. Whether you’re planning for a big family or seeking a peaceful nook to work from home, I can honestly say—this home is just right. Famed Calhoun HS
