The charming brick home at 16 Slocum Crescent in Forest Hills Gardens has hit the market for $2,788,000.
Built on a 147-acre parcel of land in 1940, and listed by Terrace Sotheby’s International Realty, this house has been recently restored and brings together the best of modern convenience and vintage coziness. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage, this house is ideal for a large or growing family. The third floor, “designed with flexibility in mind,” can be used to suit any need, whether for a master suite, a guest room or an office.
Residents can keep cozy by the stone-mantle fireplace in the living room, or cook up a warm meal in the kitchen, which comes equipped with modern appliances and an induction stovetop on the center island. The roomy basement can be transformed into an entertainment room, while the spacious backyard and patio would be perfect for spring and summer garden parties.
This house also features a home security system, Fios connectivity, and central air conditioning and heating. It is conveniently located near the Forest Hills Long Island Rail Road, the E and F subway lines, Austin Street shops, and the renowned Westside Tennis Club, which offers tennis, swimming and dining membership.
