🏡 Spotlight: A Quiet Corner in East Rockaway

Tucked into a serene, tree-lined street in the heart of Mallow Park, 9 Adams Street feels like a well-kept secret. This expanded ranch brings together charm, space, and a layout that just makes sense—5 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and nearly 2,000 square feet of living space.

Recently marked down by $50K, it offers a surprising amount of room and character—from hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace to a corner-lot garden perfect for fall evenings. It's also ideally placed: close to shopping, restaurants, and the LIRR.

Not a listing to gloss over—just one to quietly appreciate.
