About This Property
This beautifully renovated One-Family House (25' x 28.33') is
located in the Historic District of Sunnyside Gardens. Built
in 1924, this former two-family house, converted to a one-family
home in 2009, is located on a deep 25.25' x 83' lot with a charming
landscaped front garden. This spacious home features a
generous 1,492 sq ft. of living space with three bedrooms, two full
baths, two half baths, and an additional enclosed front porch, plus
a full 700 sq. ft. cellar. Actual NYC Real Estate taxes:
$8875. Annual. Owner's current annual taxes $7,254 ,
reflecting abatement for 2021 installation of solar electric
panels. This house features energy-efficient wood Marvin
windows, a reflective-coated roof with solar panels (2021), new
energy-efficient full-home mini-split air conditioning and heat
system (2021), tankless water heater (2021), and environmentally
friendly materials throughout. Net metering with Con Ed
transfers excess electricity generated via the solar system back
into the grid in exchange for utility-bill credit. The
light-filled front porch, lovingly restored to its original 1924
appearance (see 1940 tax photo for reference) with modern
materials, leads into a generously sized living room with powder
room and open dining room and kitchen. The kitchen features
stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinets,
and sustainable Marmoleum flooring with a back exit to a lush
private yard with mature plantings and gorgeous landscaping
designed for privacy and entertaining. Original hardwood
doors and floors throughout were restored and recently refinished.
There is a comprehensive security system with hard-wired smoke and
CO2 alarms that can be controlled remotely via app. The
second floor's design offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms:
an ensuite bath with a large frameless glass shower enclosure,
radiant heated floors, and high-end fixtures, and a main bath that
features Solatube daylighting, ample storage, and a laundry chute
to the cellar laundry area. The spacious primary bedroom and second
bedroom each have double-width closets, and the third bedroom has
access to a terrace overlooking the front garden, which features
four-season landscaping including red-berried hollies, hydrangeas,
tulips, and a flowering dogwood tree. The 700 sq ft. cellar
features two exits, one to the front garden and the other to the
backyard, as well as a storage room, powder room, laundry area with
LG steam dryer and washer (and end-of-laundry-chute basket), and
great potential for a recreation/office area. The renovation of
this landmarked home by received a prestigious AIA (American
Institute of Architects) New York Design Award in recognition of
the balance struck between historic preservation and modern
sustainable living, and the home has been featured in The Municipal
Art Society of New York's "Greening NYC's Historic Buildings Green
Rowhouse Manual" and other publications. Sunnyside
Gardens is one of the first planned communities inspired by the
English Garden City movement in the United States. This landmark
neighborhood of historic brick row houses is frequently cited by
the media for its livability and ease of commute to Manhattan and
Grand Central Station via the #7 train and Q32 and Q60 buses and to
Brooklyn via the G train. Owners enjoy membership access (for a
fee) to Sunnyside Gardens Park-one of only two private parks in New
York City-featuring a ball field, bicycle track, skate ramp,
sprinklers, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and a picnic
area. Sunnyside offers an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants,
cafes, and renovated public parks with dog runs and a weekly green
market that offers an array of vendors (organic farms, bakeries,
butchers, and many more). This home is located within
Colonial Court; annual dues for homeowners are currently $150 per
year and members are provided a key to the gated central shared
courtyard. Don't miss this opportunity to live in historic
Sunnyside Gardens in the heart of Metropolitan New York!
