Rarely available corner Wolosoff Brothers Tudor townhome, blending timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Lovingly maintained, this special residence begins with an entry vestibule that opens into a dramatic sunken living room featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, and two sets of stained-glass windows that provide dual exposures and bathe the space in beautiful natural light. A wood-burning corner fireplace adds warmth and character, while rich hardwood floors flow throughout the home, enhancing its warmth and cohesion.

From the living room, you flow into a modern open-concept dining room accented with original mirror details, which then leads into the stunning fully renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, Viking, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, and custom cabinetry. Off the kitchen, a door opens to the private back patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining. A stylish powder room completes the main level.

The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a charming bay window and built-in window seat. The oversized marble hall bath has been beautifully renovated with a glass-enclosed shower and an extra-deep soaking tub-designed for both luxury and relaxation.

The fully finished basement provides excellent additional living space, including a spacious recreation room with a second wood-burning corner fireplace, a full bathroom, and a separate room with endless possibilities-currently being used as an office but easily adaptable as additional guest space.

Outside the home, the private patio is a magical backyard oasis with beautiful plantings such as hydrangeas and trumpet flowers, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. There is a separate grilling area, lounging area, and dining area, plus a bonus small garden space beyond that has been used as a vegetable garden. A gardener's delight and a wonderful entertaining space. A detached one-car garage completes the property.

Located on one of the prettiest blocks in Forest Hills, this historic home is just a short distance to all forms of transportation-including express buses, the LIRR now with stops to Grand Central and Penn Stations, the E/F/M/R subway lines, as well as all major highways and airports. You'll also be moments from the shops, restaurants, and movies on Metropolitan Avenue, including Trader Joe's, upscale shopping on Austin Street, and the iconic West Side Tennis Club.
