Discover a rare offering in the heart of New Howard Beach—an oversized high ranch designed to accommodate multigenerational living or extended households with ease. This sprawling home features three separate kitchen areas, providing unmatched flexibility and privacy. The fully renovated main level stuns with gleaming hardwood floors and beautifully crafted custom window frames and ledges. A spacious formal dining room flows seamlessly into both the sunlit living area and a large eat-in kitchen, complete with granite floors, matching backsplash, double pantry, and decorative mullion cabinetry.
The upper-level bathroom has been thoughtfully reimagined in a chic Italian country style, boasting warm inlay tile, elegant cabinetry, and a sleek low-profile tub. Three generously sized bedrooms offer great natural light and French door closets. On the walk-in level, you'll find an open-concept kitchen/dining/entertainment space, a half bathroom, and sliding doors that lead to the backyard. A third distinct living area includes an additional kitchen hookup, full bath, and bedroom with its own private entrance—ideal for guests or independent living.
Additional features include central heat and air, a private driveway, garage, laundry area, utility room, attic storage, and a fully fenced yard with a patio for dining and entertaining. Low taxes complete this incredible opportunity.
