Single Family Residence in Forest Hills, NY

Set on a quiet residential block in the coveted Van Court section of Forest Hills, this fully reimagined Tudor side-hall Colonial blends historic charm with sophisticated modern design. Tucked just behind Forest Hills Gardens, the home offers a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from city living while remaining close to everything that makes Forest Hills one of Queens' most desirable neighborhoods. Inside, a thoughtful renovation pairs classic architecture with a modern, flexible layout designed for today's lifestyle. Expansive sliding glass doors allow the main level to open for entertaining or create private spaces when needed. Rich Kempas wood flooring, sculptural lighting by Tom Dixon, and zoned recessed lighting create a warm, refined interior. The chef's kitchen offers generous counter space, premium appliances, and an inviting layout, while a bright sunroom-style window nook off the living room provides the perfect spot for reading, morning coffee, or working from home. The first floor also includes a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, a spacious landing serves as a family room or work area and leads to two large bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath, along with a well-appointed hall bathroom. A fully finished attic with hardwood floors offers additional flexible space for a media room, studio, or home office, while the finished basement provides a laundry area and abundant storage. Modern comfort is ensured with updated baseboard gas heating and energy-efficient mini-split systems. Bathrooms feature imported Italian tile, integrated auto-bidet systems, and elevated finishes. Outside, a wide shared driveway leads to rear parking or patio space and a deep one-car garage. Ideally located near the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills Stadium, and events at The Community House of Forest Hills, the home is also close to shopping and dining along Austin Street and Metropolitan Avenue. Outdoor recreation is nearby at Forest Park and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, while the Long Island Rail Road, multiple Subways and Express buses provide quick access to Manhattan.
