A sprawling ranch on a beautifully lit quarter acre in the Village of Lake Success.

A sprawling ranch on a beautifully lit quarter-acre in the Village of Lake Success. Set back from the street behind mature trees and a deep front lawn, 8 Rivers Drive pairs classic single-level living with a fully finished lower level that nearly doubles the home’s usable space. The main floor offers a gracious entry, a living room with a stone fireplace, a formal dining room, a family room that opens to the yard, and a modern chef’s kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, a Thermador 6-burner range and refrigerator/freezer towers. Hardwood floors, crown molding, two operable skylights and all-new Andersen windows run throughout. With its own side entrance, the lower level is a home of its own: a summer kitchen, two bedrooms, a bath, a spacious family and dining area, and a large utility room with pantry and laundry. It’s ideal for extended family, long-term guests, a home office, or anyone who wants room to spread out. Outside, the grounds are a showpiece. Landscape lighting traces stone pathways through a private, fence-lined backyard shaded by mature trees, with a new raised bamboo deck and barbecue for summer evenings. The fully sprinkled yard runs on WiFi-controlled irrigation, and the whole property is illuminated for a stunning night-time effect. Five bedrooms, three full baths, 3,784 sq ft of finished living space (2,063 on the main level plus 1,721 in the lower level), new central air and a natural-gas boiler, a 20KW whole-house generator, a heated two-car garage with a Tesla charger installed, and Great Neck schools, all on a 95' × 112' (10,640 sq ft) lot outside any FEMA flood zone, minutes from the LIE, Northern State and Lake Success shopping.
