Beat the vacation buyer crowds and bid on this North Fork house

We're about to reach peak Hamptons and North Fork buying season, but if you get in now you may be able to avoid a bidding war on this $939,000 five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house, in Cutchogue on the North Fork of Long Island.

The 1920 house has an in-ground saltwater pool and a three-car garage, and clocks in at 3,500 square feet. 

There's a bright living room made brighter by a skylight and fireplace. Plus, there's an adjacent enclosed porch that looks like a sunny spot for reading.

There seem to be bedrooms of all sizes, perfect for kids and guests alike.

According to the listing, the house is steps away from a private bay beach, which means it could be ideal for visits year-round. It's also about $200,000 less than the median price of a Manhattan apartment. Then again, it's nearly twice as much as the median price for a single-family home in the North Fork. We'd imagine that water access has something to do with it.
