Property Description

FIRST TIME EVER OFFERED! Nestled on a beautiful residential block in the highly sought-after North Flushing / Bowne Park section of Queens, this custom-built wide-line Cape Cod presents a rare opportunity for today's homeowner, renovator, or long-term investor. Positioned in an R2A Zoning District, on an oversized 60' x 100' rectangular lot encompassing approximately 6,000 square feet, the property offers exceptional long-term upside. The expansive parcel, combined with current zoning provisions that permit increased residential floor area, creates a unique opportunity to substantially expand the existing residence through thoughtful horizontal and/or vertical alterations. Whether enhancing the current footprint or creating a significantly larger custom home, the generous lot dimensions and underlying construction provide an outstanding foundation for future value creation. The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a gracious living room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace, and a versatile layout with two bedrooms and a full bath on each level. Constructed with enduring quality, the residence is supported by a poured-concrete foundation, a double steel-girder construction, and a full, high-ceilinged basement offering additional possibilities. Major mechanical improvements include updated gas heating, a Weil-McLain hot-water boiler, and a gas-fired domestic hot-water heater. A detached 1.5-car garage is situated at the rear corner of the property and is complemented by a long private driveway providing ample off-street parking. The existing home is built upon an approximate 38' x 27' foundation footprint, a notably substantial width that is exceptionally well-suited to today's residential development and enlargement trends. Combined with the oversized 6,000-square-foot parcel, the existing footprint provides an outstanding platform for future expansion while maintaining attractive proportions, functionality, and curb appeal. Buyers seeking a larger custom residence will immediately recognize the inherent value of the existing foundation and structural framework. Conveniently located near shopping, transportation, parks, and schools, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a solidly built residence with immediate livability and exceptional future upside. "Properties combining a 60' X 100' lot with a substantial 38-foot-wide foundation are increasingly difficult to find in today's market." Vacant, first time on the market, and ready for its next chapter. Easy to show
