As one of the earliest and most architecturally distinctive homes in Forest Hills Gardens, this spacious Tudor residence with classic Gothic detail, was designed in 1920 by renowned American architect and urban planner, Grosvenor Atterbury. Conveniently situated on Greenway Terrace, and nestled in the embrace of his planned community, this perfectly scaled 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom home, has been preserved to maintain all of its original architectural integrity and the highest quality of interior design.
Aside from its prominent position along the Terrace, a glance beyond the stone, brick and ivy-covered entryway reveals a masterfully designed example of Atterbury's well respected architectural style. Design elements include 4 original fireplaces, a Butler's pantry with beautifully restored cabinetry, expansive second floor landing, rear staircase, original leaded glass pane windows, volume ceilings, decorative copper exterior elements, and tapestry brickwork. The rooms have lovely sunlit views overlooking the beautiful community open space along Flagpole Green. The house, with its separate Tudor styled 2 car garage and upper studio space, is situated on an estate sized landscaped property. The residence offers gracious everyday living with excellent room for both indoor and outdoor entertaining. The 3 main levels of the house offer 6182 sq. ft. of interior space, augmented by an additional lower level space.
An integral part of one of America's oldest planned communities, the home is perfectly located just minutes from Station Square, neighborhood schools, and the well-known West Side Tennis Club, which offers professional grade tennis, pool and dining facilities. It is just a few minutes from public transportation including the LIRR, several express and local subway lines, and is convenient to shopping areas and restaurants. It is approximately 15 minutes by rail to Manhattan, in close proximity to highways and both NYC's major airports, and nearby to Forest Park with horseback riding, golf, and dedicated biking and running paths.
