This spacious home is ideally situated on a quiet, dead-end street near Forest Hills train station, offering a high degree of privacy with no neighboring houses to the rear. The property retains its original charm despite comprehensive renovations....
It features a generously sized first floor and a finished basement, enhancing the overall living space.
While the living room currently presents a darker ambiance due to its gray walls, this could be easily transformed with a lighter paint color. The home also boasts ample off-street parking and an expansive garage, providing sufficient space for cars, bikes, kayaks, and additional storage needs.
