As a third-generation resident of the village of Malverne, real estate agent Eileen O’Hara has long admired a 1920s construction on Wright Avenue. Paned windows and a porte-cochère made the house distinctive from the outside; and this year, she was invited in.
O’Hara, of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, has listed the three-level home for $1.35 million. The house has five bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms, and the porte-cochère leads to a detached two-car garage.
"It’s one of the older homes in Malverne, and it has just a really great presence on the block," O’Hara said. "With the front porch, which spans the entire width of the house, and a porte-cochère, which is kind of unusual in this village."

The south-facing, 3,766-square-foot home sits on a 0.39-acre lot and has just one residential neighbor. The sellers have owned the home for several generations, O’Hara said.
"It has so many original details that are beautiful," she added.
