Description

Set on an oversized approximately 87' x 121' lot in the prestigious Malba enclave, this stately residence offers a rare opportunity to create a refined home in one of Queens’ most exclusive waterfront communities. With generous proportions, classic architectural details, and expansive outdoor space, the home provides an exceptional foundation for a thoughtful renovation. A circular driveway enhances the home’s presence and provides convenient access to a two-car garage. From there, you are welcomed inside by a beautiful front entryway that introduces the home’s character and scale. The first floor unfolds into a formal dining room, with crown molding featured throughout much of the home, along with an adjacent office. A spacious living room with a fireplace serves as the heart of the home, while an additional room offers flexibility for a den, playroom, or private sitting area. The eat-in kitchen is complemented by a half bath and a dedicated laundry room, and opens directly to a large patio. Perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, this space allows for a seamless indoor to outdoor lifestyle ideal for gatherings or quiet everyday enjoyment. Upstairs, the second level features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary suite with its own private bath, as well as a second full bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. A finished attic level offers two additional rooms that can be used to suit your needs, whether for a home office, guest space, gym, or creative studio. The renovated full finished basement provides valuable additional living space, ideal for a media room, recreation area, home gym, or extended living quarters, depending on your needs. For buyers seeking to personalize a home without starting from the ground up, this property presents a unique opportunity to renovate and elevate an already substantial residence into a custom luxury home. The expansive lot further enhances the offering, allowing for curated outdoor living, landscaping, or future enhancements. Positioned on a tree lined block within Malba, the home offers a rare balance of privacy and accessibility, with close proximity to the waterfront, major highways, and an easy commute to Manhattan. Opportunities to create a bespoke residence in Malba are limited. *Some photos are virtually staged
