Stunning 2012 Custom Brick Duplex – Modern Luxury Meets Flexibility & Value! This exceptional five-bedroom, five-bath Contemporary duplex in Bayside offers the perfect blend of modern Italian craftsmanship, generous living space, and unmatched location. Built in 2012 on a spacious 5,000-square-foot lot, the home’s stately brick façade, chimney, gated decorative driveway, and professionally landscaped grounds immediately set a tone of elegance and privacy. A fenced perimeter with a brick base and an iron railing adds both durability and visual appeal. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized windows fill the open-concept living and dining areas with abundant natural light, highlighting the beautiful crown molding, recessed lighting, and glass-covered fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom Italian cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Thermador professional-grade stove, dishwasher, and dryer, along with a decorative backsplash and Italy-glazed ceramic tile floors. A desirable first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, while heated floors in both the master and first-floor baths add everyday luxury. The master suite is designed for indulgence, featuring a chic double vanity, a garden tub, a separate stall shower, and custom Italian cabinetry, all framed by Hunter Douglas window treatments and enhanced by elegant chandeliers. The fully finished, high-ceiling basement is tailored for entertainment and functionality, complete with a dedicated home theater setup, an extra-large LG washer and dryer, and ample space for recreation. Throughout the home, comfort is ensured with Fujitsu split air conditioning units, central air, a smart thermostat, and a hot water heating system. For peace of mind, the property includes a comprehensive security system with outdoor cameras. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a charming fish pond, a patio and terrace perfect for dining or relaxation, and a remote-controlled awning for effortless shade.
