Description

First Open House: Sunday, May 18th from 12-2PM!

Rarely available and rich with architectural heritage, 408 Burns Street is a distinguished 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse in the heart of Forest Hills Gardens-a neighborhood celebrated for its storybook charm and timeless design.

Set behind a landscaped front garden, this gracious Tudor Revival home showcases hallmark details of the era: steeply pitched rooflines, multi-paned casement windows, brick fa ade with decorative accents, and elegant proportions throughout. Inside, natural light floods the expansive interiors, which span three floors plus a large attic. Original white oak hardwood floors glow underfoot, and rooms are generously sized, from the formal dining room to the nearly 17-foot-wide living room.
The windowed kitchen offers excellent scale and functionality, ready for your vision and personal touch . Upstairs, you'll find four large bedrooms, two full baths, and ample closet space. The lower level includes a full-size laundry/mechanical room, abundant storage, and direct access to a private, extra-deep 2-car garage. Additional highlights include steam heat, central air conditioning, a washer and dryer, and a walk-up attic perfect for storage or future expansion.

Forest Hills Gardens is a landmarked community known for its exceptional early 20th-century architecture and verdant, landscaped streets. The home is zoned for the highly regarded PS 101 and enjoys convenient access to express subway and LIRR service, with Midtown Manhattan just 15 minutes away.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of New York City's most architecturally significant and beloved neighborhoods.
