About This Home

Set in the heart of Forest Avenue, this beautifully renovated and impeccably maintained Center Hall Colonial checks every box. The classic Center Hall floorplan flows from the spacious entryway into the dining room on the right and living room on the left. The living room opens to the family room and 3 season room overlooking the backyard, perfect for a playroom or home office. Off of the dining room, the eat-in kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and brand new quartz countertops, all overlooking a patio and professionally landscaped backyard perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A powder room and back entry complete the first floor. On the second floor, the spacious primary suite offers three closets and a renovated en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms with generous closet space and a renovated hall bath complete the second level. The third floor adds even more flexibility with an additional bedroom, a full bath, and a large storage area with an oversized closet. The finished basement extends the living space with a recreation room featuring built-ins, a wet bar with refrigerator, an exercise room, a full bath, and a finished laundry room. Thoughtful upgrades include front and back sprinkler systems, landscape lighting, and central air conditioning. Forest Avenue offers a true community feel, with its famous trick-or-treating as well as unbeatable convenience with NYC commute options from MidTown Direct train and bus service.
