NEGOTIABLE PRICE! MOTIVATED SELLER READY TO RELOCATE. What if I told you that this oversized Tuscan-style estate on a 5,000 square-foot lot is not in the hills of rural Italy, but actually just tucked away on a quiet street in Queens? This incredible 5 bedroom 3 full bathroom property with accessory apartment potential is the perfect mix of opulence, old-world charm, space, and functionality. Every nook and cranny has been expertly laid out and custom-built by artisan craftsmen. A carpenter's dream, this home boasts a centerpiece circular stair beneath a motorized lift chandelier, wide-line mouldings and millwork, and an enormous cedar lined dress-in vanity closet. Hand-painted and textured Venetian plaster walls and ceilings abound, complemented by ornate stained glass, intricate murals, and Italian countryside tile. Chef's kitchen with exposed brick, oversized country style hood, and high ceiling recessed lighting, features commercial grade appliances including a warming rack and flat-top griddle station. With a double tired center island and open concept adjacent dining room, you will never lack gathering space for the grande family meals that this incredible space will encourage you to dream up and share. Open the sliding doors to your patio and yard space and you'll be overwhelmed by the sensation of rural vineyard beauty and serenity. An absolutely classical-style entertainer's yard is the perfect addition to this incredible property. Cottage blend tumbled square pavers, wedge style inground pool, and outdoor kitchen featuring natural gas BBQ, burner stations, and sink with hot water. This house was absolutely built to host summer get-togethers and holiday parties. With 3,375 square feet of interior living space including not only 5 bedrooms but a number of sitting and living areas, you will never outgrow this property. The second floor and loft above were previously designed to house a separate living unit complete with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom. In our two labeled gallery photos, you can see a computer-generated rendering of how that accessory apartment might look after completion.
