Description
Rarely available, this beautifully renovated semi-attached tapestry brick townhouse exemplifies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that define Forest Hills Gardens, seamlessly blending historic character with sophisticated modern updates.
A charming entry sunroom with terracotta clay tiles welcomes you into the home, setting a warm and inviting tone. The gracious living room, anchored by a built-in gas fireplace, offers a refined space for both intimate evenings and lively entertaining, complemented by a tastefully appointed powder room discreetly located for guests. The newly renovated open kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom cabinetry, a custom walnut built-in dining room sideboard with bespoke hardware, Silestone countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Waterstone faucet, and Fulgor Milano oven with warming drawer. A door just off the kitchen opens to an expansive deck above the garage, providing an elegant setting for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or relaxed outdoor entertaining.
The second floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, including a serene primary bedroom featuring a second gas fireplace and abundant windows that fill the space with natural light. The beautifully renovated marble hall bath showcases herringbone marble tile flooring and a large glass-enclosed shower, creating a spa-like retreat.
The third floor features two additional bedrooms and a luxurious full bath with marble tile, an oversized glass-enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub, combining elegance and comfort for guests, private retreats, or flexible living space.
The fully finished basement offers expansive and versatile living space, including a recreation room, guest room, full bath, and a mudroom area with a large farm sink and cabinetry. The basement also provides generous storage and flexible areas that can serve as a home gym, office, or hobby space.
Additional highlights include central air and heat, a detached garage, private driveway, and expansive front and side gardens with mature plantings.
Located on one of the prettiest streets in Forest Hills Gardens, this exceptional residence is surrounded by the neighborhood’s signature tree-lined streets, distinctive architecture, and storied charm. Residents enjoy the convenience of a quick commute to Manhattan via the LIRR or subway, while Austin Street’s boutiques, cafés, and restaurants are just moments away.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child recently graduated from this school, and I have been deeply disappointed with the experience. This school does not value academic performance. Over the years, I’ve watched many excellent students leave—either transferring to Gifted and Talented programs or other schools.Until 5th grade, my child often complained about not being able to find capable peers to collaborate with on schoolwork. I didn’t send him to a G&T program earlier because I thought elementary school was basic enough that we could support his learning at home. Unfortunately, I was wrong.My child used to be an incredibly curious learner who loved science and math. However, due to the school’s lack of academic focus and absence of like-minded peers, he gradually lost that curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. If your child is self-driven, curious, and academically inclined, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.Parent Review8mo ago - Jhs 190 Russell Sage

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son constantly gets bullied, he witnesses fights, he’s been physically bullied, he HATES going to school I can’t even get him the same kind of help he had in his other schools. He’s afraid to get yelled at by his teacher, his confidence is low because of the way he gets treated. I shouldn’t have to fight to get him to go to school in the morning some days it literally makes him sick at times. The kids still use their cell phones during school hours as well.Parent Review4mo ago - Queens Metropolitan High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent we all want whats best for our kids to give them the opportunity to succeed in life. If you want that for your child this is the school to be in. My son who is disabled will be graduating this year. He has thrived and learned so much academically and emotionally. The staff has been hands on always keeping lines of communication open to best support him and give him everything he needs to succeed. He will miss this place even knowing that better things are yet to come. Every High School should model after this one especially for children with disabilities. This is the school to be in if you want caring staff and students who will thrive more and more each year they are here. I thank you for a amazing 3 years and counting.Parent Review7mo ago
