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!
