Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Douglaston

Steps from Little Neck Bay, this is Douglas Manor living at its best. Morning walks to the dock at the end of the block. Coffee in the breakfast nook with the doors open to the deck. Evenings by the fire. Welcome to 235-23 Beverly Road, a stately brick center hall colonial with a columned entry, set in historic Douglas Manor, a designated New York City landmark district. This home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms.

A two-story foyer and sweeping curved staircase set the tone. Host the holidays in the formal living and dining rooms, then let everyone drift to the fireside family room, where rich custom millwork, crown moldings and gleaming hardwood floors make every gathering feel like an occasion. The chef’s kitchen keeps the cook in the conversation with a granite center island, gas cooktop, pantry and a sunny breakfast area that opens to the rear deck. Working from home? The private office is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling built-ins. The first of the 4 full bathrooms completes the main level.

Upstairs are all 4 bedrooms and 3 more full bathrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat: nearly 30 feet of sun-filled space, two walk-in closets and a spa bath with jetted soaking tub and separate shower. The 3 additional bedrooms are served by 2 full bathrooms, and the wraparound front balcony is made for a quiet cup of tea as the sun goes down. The finished top floor, bright with skylight, is ready to be your game room, studio or gym, and the finished lower level adds even more room to spread out, plus laundry and its own entrance.

All of this moments from parks, shops, dining, District 26 schools and the LIRR, with Manhattan about 30 minutes away. Come home to the bay.
