84-49 85th Ave, Woodhaven, NY 11421

Open House Oct 3rd Saturday from 2 - 3pm No Appointment is needed. Just show up. Crown Jewel of Woodhaven An Elevated Single-Family Sanctuary Bordering Forest Park, with a Private-Entrance Mother/Daughter Suite 84-49 85th Avenue, Woodhaven | Offered at $899,000 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Mother/Daughter Suite | Dual Street Access | Garage | Elevated Outdoor Oasis There's a moment, as you walk up, when you realize this house is different. It doesn't sit at street level like everything around it. It rises above the noise, above the sidewalk, above the flood maps that keep so many Queens homeowners up at night. And out back, it simply becomes part of Forest Park. Two front doors, two ways to arrive, and one unmistakable sense that you've found something that most homes don't have. Enter through a south-facing, windowed vestibule/mudroom that keeps winter out and clutter contained. The main living room flows into a formal dining room built for holidays, then a renovated eat-in kitchen with rich cabinetry, granite counters, and a center island. Upstairs, three great-sized bedrooms share a skylit full bath with custom tile. Downstairs is where this home surprises people. It can serve as a mother/daughter suite; the finished, above-grade lower level, with high ceilings, offers a recreation room, a separate bedroom/living area, a full bathroom, laundry, and its own private walk-out entrance to the backyard. Ideal for extended family, guests, or a home office. Thinking ahead? The property sits outside both FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area and NYC's stormwater flood risk area, a key requirement for creating a legal basement Ancillary Dwelling Unit (ADU) under NYC's City of Yes rules, subject to DOB approval and code compliance. Out back, an enclosed deck sits over the private garage and opens onto a custom gazebo, string-lit, curtained, and built to seat the whole family under the trees. This isn't a patio. It's an outdoor room. Just past the fence, the trees keep going: Forest Park's 500+ acres of trails, bridle paths, golf, tennis, and an antique carousel, steps from your back door. Most attached homes in Woodhaven give you one way in. This one gives you TWO: the front door on quiet 85th Avenue, and direct access to your private garage from Park Lane South at the rear, the road bordering Forest Park itself. Drive straight in, park, and you're home. No circling the block. The 85th Street–Forest Parkway J station is practically at the end of the block, with the Woodhaven Blvd J/Z and the Q11, Q52-SBS, Q53-SBS, and Q56 buses nearby for direct routes to Manhattan and Brooklyn. The Jackie Robinson Parkway offers drivers a fast, green route out. Homes like this don't come up often in Woodhaven. Come see it for yourself. Please note: This property is currently occupied.
