23 Center DriveMalba, NY 11357

For Sale

$2,695,000

Smart Buyer Rebate $33,688

A rare opportunity to create a custom luxury residence in the prestigious Malba enclave. Situated on an oversized approximately 87' x 121' lot, this property offers the foundation for a truly exceptional home.

The property is already prepared for redevelopment, with water, electric, and sewer cutoffs completed, allowing a buyer to begin construction without delay. Alternatively, the existing home can be retained and thoughtfully renovated, offering a more immediate living option with the ability to customize over time.

Conceptual plans have been designed for a 10,000+ square foot French Chateau style estate in conjunction with the adjacent property. While these plans are not directly transferable to this lot alone, they provide a strong architectural vision and a valuable starting point for a buyer looking to create a custom residence. A buyer may work with the existing architect to adapt and tailor the plans, or design a fully custom home to suit their needs.

The design reflects timeless European inspired architecture, with elegant stone detailing, a slate style roofline, and grand proportions rarely seen in Queens.

Set on a quiet, tree lined block within Malba, one of Queens’ most exclusive and sought after residential communities, the property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and convenience, with proximity to the waterfront, major highways, and Manhattan.

Opportunities to build a custom home in Malba are exceptionally limited.
