Nestled along the tranquil, tree-lined streets of Forest Hills, this distinguished Tudor residence embodies the timeless character and craftsmanship of the 1930s. Rich hardwood floors, an airy sunroom, and an exquisite fireplace set an inviting tone from the moment you enter. An elegant formal dining room and a thoughtfully appointed chef's kitchen-featuring abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, premier appliances, and remarkable natural light-offer effortless opportunities for refined entertaining. The main-level primary suite has been impeccably reimagined to include a spa-inspired ensuite with a soaking garden tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and bespoke closets. A beautifully finished powder room completes the level with style. Upstairs, a spacious secondary suite awaits, showcasing an expansive walk-in closet and its own private full bath. Outdoors, the fully fenced rear grounds create a serene, private haven with both patio and green space for relaxation or play. A rare luxury in the neighborhood, the two-car garage enhances the property's exceptional appeal. Every detail of this historic Forest Hills residence has been curated to offer elevated comfort, timeless elegance, and enduring charm.
