Description

Set on a rare .32 acre double lot in the heart of Holliswood, this stately brick Colonial offers exceptional space, character, and endless potential. Properties with this amount of land are rarely available, creating a unique opportunity to restore, renovate, or reimagine a truly special home. Built in 1940, the home features classic architectural details and a traditional layout rarely found in newer construction. Hardwood floors, a grand foyer, and a wood burning fireplace highlight the home’s timeless character. The main level offers generous living and entertaining space including a formal living room, formal dining room, eat in kitchen, den, pantry, bar room, and powder room, all centered around an impressive foyer that sets the tone for the home’s scale. The second-floor features four bedrooms and three full baths, including two bedrooms with en suite baths. Two separate staircases add charm and functionality to the home, including a secondary staircase believed to have originally served as a service staircase that leads directly to a private bedroom with its own en suite bath. From the second floor there are views of the New York City skyline. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, a full basement with outside entrance, washer and dryer, and abundant storage space with plenty of room to customize. The home also features steel I beam construction, a hot water heater approximately 2 years old, a boiler approximately 6 to 7 years old, and a classic laundry chute. Located close to transportation, shops, and schools, this property offers a rare combination of land, scale, and location. Being sold as is. A remarkable opportunity for those with vision to create something truly special.
