For Sale

$870,000

Smart Buyer Rebate $9,250

Step into a charming attached home in sought-after Jamaica Hills, offering approximately 1,650 sq ft of living space across 2 stories with classic early-20th-century Colonial Revival/Craftsman character on a cozy 1,500 sq ft lot. The fully attached design provides notable advantages: shared party walls naturally improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, helping lower your heating and cooling bills year-round, while also minimizing exterior maintenance responsibilities since you have fewer exposed walls, roof edges, and siding to repair or repaint compared to a detached home. Inside, you'll find 4 generous bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, with a welcoming eat-in kitchen perfect for casual dining, plus a full finished basement that adds valuable living, storage, or recreation space—all wrapped in authentic pre-war charm with abundant opportunity to personalize finishes to your taste. Location highlights include excellent public transportation access via the F train at Jamaica-179 St for easy Manhattan commutes, proximity to PS 161K zoned schools, vibrant Hillside Avenue shopping and dining, and nearby Cunningham Park for outdoor recreation—ideal for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone seeking a blend of historic character, practical efficiency, and walkable Queens convenience in a tree-lined, friendly neighborhood.
