Tucked on a corner lot in the heart of Rego Park, this beautifully maintained home peeks through lush greenery.
From the gorgeous landscaping to the classic architecture, this home has been with the same family for almost 100 years. Homes with this kind of deep rooted history, pristine care, and timeless soul do not come around often. Step inside and you are immediately welcomed by an abundance of natural light with Anderson windows that line this southeast-facing corner home. The thoughtful layout begins with an entry foyer that doubles as a flexible den or home office, before opening into a generous living and dining room designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. The centerpiece of this space is a custom-built floating and curving staircase, less a functional element than a true work of art. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Custom cabinetry and tailored storage solutions speak to the quality of finishes throughout, while a built-in breakfast nook strikes a perfect balance between mid-century nostalgia and intimate everyday charm. A conveniently located powder room sits just off the kitchen, and access to the lower level from the rear of the home leads to a beautifully finished basement that elevates the entire living experience. Here, a beautiful stone gas fireplace and wet bar set the scene for memorable gatherings, while a full bathroom, laundry room, and ample storage with a possible wine room, round out a lower level that is as functional as it is inviting. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom provide comfortable, peaceful retreats for every member of the household. Thoughtful finishes lend the bathrooms a distinctive personality, blending style with everyday practicality. Beneath the carpet, original oak hardwood floors with a mahogany border have been lovingly preserved, waiting to be uncovered and restored to their former glory. Soaring ceilings throughout the entire home reinforce a sense of openness and grandeur that is rare for the area.
Outside, a well-maintained yard offers a private oasis, a welcome escape from the energy of city life. A detached garage completes the picture, providing the kind of convenient off-street parking that is truly a luxury in this vibrant urban neighborhood. Ideally situated just moments from express bus service to Manhattan, Trader Joe’s, premier shopping, and neighborhood parks, and zoned for the highly regarded PS 174, this exceptional home delivers on every level for the discerning buyer.
