A Hilltop Estate in the Heart of Grymes Hill ! Perched high above tree-lined streets, this lovely home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and unmatched privacy. Presented for the first time in over fifty years, this grand six-bedroom solid brick Colonial-built in 1925-stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and architectural grace. The residence spans approximately 7,050 SF, including a finished attic and a partially finished cellar, providing abundant space for both grand entertaining and intimate family living. Rich period details await restoration or thoughtful modernization to create a one-of-a-kind showplace. A grand two-story entry foyer welcomes you into this elegant home, opening to a formal living room with a cozy fireplace. The space flows seamlessly into a sun-filled home office, where large windows frame views of the outdoors and flood the room with natural light. Perfect for gatherings, the formal dining room offers an ideal setting for entertaining, while the charming sunroom invites you to relax with a good book. The spacious, eat-in kitchen features a walk-in pantry and direct access to the yard, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Two additional versatile rooms and a half bath complete the main level. Choose the main staircase or back staircase to enter the second floor. There you will find the luxurious primary suite boasting a walk-in closet, private bath, and access to a large balcony-perfect for peaceful morning coffee or sunset views. Three additional bedrooms, one with a balcony, plus a sunroom and two additional full baths provide ample space for family and guests. The finished attic offers extra living space and an additional bathroom, ideal for a guest suite, hobby area, or playroom. The full basement, partially finished, provides even more possibilities for recreation, storage, or a home gym.

R3X contextual districts, mapped extensively in lower-density neighborhoods, such as Forest Hills in Queens and Prince's Bay and Westerleigh in Staten Island, permit only one- and two-family detached homes on lots that must be at least 35 feet wide. The 0.5 floor area ratio (FAR) in R3X districts may be increased by an attic allowance of up to 20 percent for the inclusion of space beneath a pitched roof. The perimeter wall may rise to 21 feet before sloping or being set back to a maximum building height of 35 feet. The amount of required open space on a lot is governed by yard requirements. Two side yards that total at least 10 feet are required and there must be a minimum distance of eight feet between houses on adjacent lots. The front yard of a new home must be at least 10 feet deep and, to promote a unified streetscape, it must be at least as deep as an adjacent front yard but need not exceed a depth of 20 feet.
