Description

Welcome to this luxurious house for a buyer who appreciates meticulous renovation of the highest standard and wants peace of mind for decades to come, knowing that the house has been properly rebuilt inside and out. This caliber of construction is rare if ever, seen in Forest Hills. This is not just a remodeled home—this is a complete reconstruction with the highest quality materials and unparalleled attention to detail. The structural work encompasses walls, ceilings, and floors that have been gutted and replaced. Even the basement has been excavated and reconstructed with new concrete, guaranteeing a solid and enduring foundation. The exterior includes new brickwork, enlarged soundproof windows that fill the interior with natural light, and an all-new Italian slate roof designed to last a century. Cutting-edge upgrades include entirely new plumbing, sewage, and electrical systems, along with central heating and air conditioning controlled by Nest thermostats. Thoughtful conveniences include a built-in vacuum system, seamlessly integrated Wi-Fi routers, ceiling speakers in every room, a home theater system, recessed dimmable lighting, automated Hunter Douglas shades, and intricately crafted custom cabinetry throughout. The kitchen is outfitted with a top-of-the-line Jenn-Air appliance package to satisfy even the most discerning chef. The layout offers an airy flow across four levels, anchored by a sophisticated staircase beneath a 13-foot vaulted ceiling crowned with a lantern-style chandelier. The upper floors provide private sanctuaries, while the lower levels are a haven for entertaining. The open-concept main level invites gatherings, comfortably accommodating up to 18 guests for dining. The lower level includes a TV room, a home office, and a wine cellar. A two-level outdoor space features a serene backyard and a sundeck with a hot tub, framed by mature trees that offer both beauty and privacy. Whether sunbathing or dining al fresco, these outdoor areas are the perfect retreat. The house sits on a 40-by-100-foot lot and includes a climate-controlled two-car garage. In addition to the garage parking, the wide driveway accommodates two more vehicles.
