They don’t make homes like this anymore.
Homebuyers have the opportunity to own a classic Forest Hills home, now that 69-54 Ingram St. recently hit the market. The large four-bedroom house has been preserved to highlight not only its ambassadorial-style architecture, but also its interior, as some furnishings are originals of the 75-year-old house.
Furthermore, the 3,844-square-foot residence was built for one of the founders of Forest Hills, according to the broker, Terrace Sotheby’s International Realty, which specializes in the neighborhood. So prospective homebuyers can own a piece of history as well — that is, if they have $3.7 million.
For that sky-high price, the residence comes with all the amenities one could ask for in a luxury home in one of the borough’s pricey home markets.
High ceilings, hardwood and marble floors throughout and custom woodwork and carpentry are noticeable classic features.
The huge kitchen has skylight windows that allow sunlight to enter and brighten the room, and it is connected to a large formal dining room. There is also a smaller breakfast room for morning meals with the family. On the same floor there is a fireplace and wet bar in a library, which can alternate as a private study or for a space to entertain guests.
Upper floors include a large master bedroom with a huge wardrobe and adjoining bathroom, and two more bedrooms, including one with a private terrace. Finally, the fourth bedroom has its own bathroom and “can be closed off from the hallway if desired,” according to the listing.
Take a look at the pictures below to view the home, but if pictures aren’t enough, Terrace Sotheby’s will be hosting an open house at the property from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 26.
