WEST ISLIP: 41 Church Lane, 11795
DATE SOLD: January 15, 2025
PRICE: $1,003,100
SOLD BY: RE/MAX Best
DETAILS: This 1890 home has a rich history. Christ Episcopal Church was organized in West Islip in 1871 and built its sanctuary on Montauk Highway. Funds were saved to construct a rectory for priests directly behind the church several years later. By 1946, Christ Church had closed and sold its building to Ukrainian Catholic congregation, and its former rectory was sold to a private buyer and absorbed into a new neighborhood being built behind the church off Montauk Highway. After the new congregation moved to Lindenhurst 20 years ago, the 1870s church was purchased by Catholic Health Services for use as a medical office. Today, the rectory at 41 Church Lane is a renovated, modern four-bedroom home with 10-foot ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, blending in nicely with the surrounding community. Skylights on both the first and second floors flood the home with natural light, and a central vacuum system makes cleaning simple. In the yard, a large deck leads to a patio surrounding an in-ground pool. This historical home offers the buyers the best in modern conveniences in a convenient location close to shopping and transportation services.
