Beautiful Cape Home with Inground Pool on Oversized Lot in New Howard Beach
This well maintained Cape on a 5,000 square foot lot offers four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a thoughtfully designed layout perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
Step inside to find warm, refinished hardwood floors throughout, and a spacious, sun-drenched living area with recessed lighting and an effortless flow into the dining space and kitchen. The updated kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances — creating the ideal hub for home cooking and gatherings. A sleek, modern full bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a rain-style shower adds a spa-like touch to the main level.
Upstairs, the flexible layout includes a bright great room with capped plumbing behind the wall — a valuable feature for anyone considering a future mother-daughter configuration. The full basement, currently unfinished with a private backyard entrance, is a blank canvas with endless potential.
Outdoors, your private oasis awaits: a beautifully maintained inground pool surrounded by mature trees and plenty of yard space for lounging, barbecues, and play. The pool is already opened for the season and ready to enjoy. Recent upgrades include a brand-new front roof (installed two months ago down to the plywood) and a 2020 rear roof replacement. Boiler is approximately 12 years old. Low taxes. Call today for a showing.
