About this home
Price Reduced!<br> Imagine residing in a distinguished, freestanding Federalist brick home, a true landmark majestically set atop a hill on a tranquil side street within the coveted Forest Hills Gardens. This house recalls the early years of Forest Hills Gardens when many homes had very large lots. During the depression and over the decades many families chose to, or needed to sell off parts of their land to someone who built a new house on it.

The recently renovated, modern eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and style, while a convenient first-floor bedroom (ideal for a home office) and a full bath add to the practicality. Direct access to the attached two-car garage completes this impressive level, all enhanced by soaring 8'6" ceilings.<br> Ascend the elegant, open curving staircase to a spacious landing that introduces the luxurious primary suite.

The fully finished basement provides even more living space, featuring a large recreation or media room, a potential bedroom, a full bath, a laundry room, and extensive storage. Adding a touch of history, this space once served as a neighborhood speakeasy during Prohibition, complete with its own kitchen and a discreet driveway entrance.<br>Built in 1925 and cherished by only three families, this exceptional property embodies the enduring appeal of Forest Hills Gardens, a world-class community meticulously planned by the Olmsted Brothers and Grosvenor Atterbury.
