A Rare Offering in Kew Gardens Hills

Welcome to this magnificent 60x100 Center Hall Colonial, set on one of the most coveted blocks in Kew Gardens Hills. Homes of this caliber and scale are seldom available, presenting a truly extraordinary opportunity for the discerning buyer.

From the moment you step into the grand entryway, you are greeted by an elegant spiral staircase and an abundance of natural light that sets the tone for the home’s sophistication. A formal dining room and expansive living room provide the perfect backdrop for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining.

The custom gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, a spacious eat-in area, and seamless access to a beautifully designed patio—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The main level also boasts a refined family room with a wood-burning fireplace and sliding doors that open to a spectacular yard, complete with a private basketball court and ample space to create your own outdoor oasis.

On the second floor, you will find five generously sized bedrooms, each designed with custom built-ins and extensive closet space. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, dressing area, and a spa-like hotel-style bath.

The fully finished basement elevates the lifestyle experience with guest quarters, a playroom, laundry facilities, and a private steam room/sauna for the ultimate in-home relaxation.

This is more than a home—it is an unparalleled lifestyle. Rarely does a property of this size, elegance, and presence come to market in Kew Gardens Hills. Do not miss the chance to make it yours.
