3-Bed, 1-Bath Cape with expansion potential near LIRR and Broadway Mall
Zestimate® as of 2026-05-23 indicates a value range of $636,000 to $746,000, with a midpoint of $690,900. This estimate is based on comparable sales and market trends in the Hicksville area.
What sets 57 Boxwood Lane apart is its rare combination of classic Cape Cod character and a true suburban lot: 9,100 square feet offers breathing room uncommon this close to Hicksville's amenities. The 1.5‑story, wood‑frame home—built in 1948—retains period proportions while presenting practical family comforts: a cozy fireplace anchoring the living room, central cooling for year‑round comfort, and an attached one‑car garage with additional driveway parking.
Step inside and you’ll feel the home’s measured scale: comfortable, clearly maintained rooms that flow across approximately 1,562 square feet. The single full bathroom and three well‑sized bedrooms articulate a comfortable primary layout with potential to modernize or expand upward or to the rear—an opportunity underscored by the large lot and R1‑7 zoning that supports single‑family expansion and accessory uses. The absence of a basement simplifies maintenance, while municipal water, sewer, gas, and electric service keep utilities straightforward.
Outside is where the property’s potential becomes tangible. A level backyard invites a play lawn, patio, or landscape redesign while still leaving ample room for an addition. The asphalt shingle roof and overall “average” condition reflect a house that has been lived in and cared for, ideal for buyers who want a move‑in period before undertaking targeted updates that will add value.
Location is quietly compelling: Boxwood Lane sits in a residential pocket with quick access to Broadway Mall (about 1.2 miles), Hicksville LIRR Station (approx. 1.5 miles) and recreational options like Cantiague Park (about 2 miles). The neighborhood is part of the Hicksville Union Free School District—Old Country Road School earns strong marks at the elementary level, while Hicksville High School shows above‑average performance. This home is especially attractive to buyers seeking a solid, well‑maintained Cape Cod with near‑term upside and convenient ties to shopping, commuter rail, and suburban parks.
