About This Home
As of September 2022Ideally positioned on a gorgeous block in Forest Hills, this custom-crafted home boasts unrivaled attention to detail, an open flowing layout, and excellent natural light throughout. The oversized kitchen features a substantial island plus breakfast bar, providing everyone a place to gather while overlooking the sun-filled family room with 13-ft ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The master suite's enormous walk-in closet has a convenient back-door access to the laundry room. The 3rd-floor office is a perfect getaway for conference calls or quiet time, while the sizable exercise room has additional insulation to reduce noise during extreme workouts. Movie nights are a favorite with the new 100" projection theater system downstairs. The outside entertaining space with built-in kitchen, gas firepit and sprawling lawn create a perfect oasis for relaxing after a busy day or entertaining family and friends. A rare 3-car garage completes the list of "must-haves" for any buyer.
