West Islip home with a helipad hits the market at nearly $4M

Amenities for a waterfront West Islip home that just hit the market for almost $4 million include some of the usual fare — such as a boathouse and two-car garage — and one that’s rather unique: a helipad, Newsday reported. The home at 151 Wagstaff Lane, built in 1951, has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, three half-bathrooms, three fireplaces, a home gym and staff quarters. Aviation records show that the private helipad is owned by John Staluppi, an entrepreneur who made his fortune by founding the Atlantic Automotive Group, a car dealership giant. The 1.8-acre property also holds a pool house with an indoor 20-by-44-foot pool with a retractable roof, a hot tub and its own kitchen, as well as a boathouse with 580 feet of water frontage. Edward Kaleck of Ramsay Realtors in Bay Shore has the listing. [Newsday]
