Welcome to 28 Shore Road-A rare waterfront gem in the heart of historic Douglas Manor.

This stately Queen Anne Victorian blends timeless architectural detail with thoughtful modern updates throughout. Set on a quarter-acre corner lot with sweeping views of Little Neck Bay, the home features 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a layout that perfectly balances grandeur and warmth. Original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, 10" ceilings, and intricate moldings showcase the home's character, while the chef's kitchen-with Sub-Zero refrigerator, AGA range, and radiant-heated floors-caters beautifully to modern living.

Ideal for entertaining, the home includes a formal dining room with a Mercer-tiled fireplace, a sun-drenched conservatory with bay views, and a spacious wraparound porch perfect for hosting get-togethers by the water. Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, fireplace, and a cozy built-in window seat. The third floor offers even more space for guests, home offices, or creative pursuits. You'll also enjoy front-row seats to breathtaking sunsets over the bay-visible from nearly every room in the house.

Additional highlights include a full basement with laundry and excellent storage, a detached two-story garage with loft, and mature landscaping surrounding the property. Located in the waterfront enclave of Douglas Manor-one of New York City's only private historic districts-residents enjoy exclusive access to a yacht club, mooring rights, a vibrant boating lifestyle, and quick access to the LIRR at Douglaston Station, making the Manhattan commute both fast and convenient. With scenic shoreline and quiet tree-lined streets, this home offers more than just historic beauty-it's a lifestyle.
