Originally built in 1901 atop a knoll overlooking the East River, this storybook Colonial 2-Family situated on a 60 X 100 corner lot has undergone a complete overhaul. The main unit is used as the owner's residence and the second unit as a professional office. Enter the main residence through a beautiful blue double door to a newly renovated foyer with Spanish tiles and large closet, then up the stairs to the spacious, open concept first floor. Natural light floods the spacious interior through skylights and oversized windows on all sides. The modern chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large corner pantry, generous center island, quartz countertops, Sub-Zero fridge, Blue Star stove, Zephyr hood, quiet Miele dishwasher, and many more custom features. A perfect setup for entertaining, the kitchen opens to a cozy sitting area with three-sided, floor to ceiling stone fireplace and casual eating area. The dining and living rooms showcase the stunning water views with French doors that lead to a beautifully landscaped large deck with roll-out awnings and scenic bay vista. Also on this floor are the Media room, home office with laundry area and a full bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, full bathroom, and the primary suite looking over the water and featuring an oversized dressing room with large built-in closets and a large en-suite bathroom. The basement is partially finished and offers great storage and work space. The second unit is currently used as a professional office, and has many of the original features of the house, including the hardwood floors, large wood French windows, molding trim and pocket doors. The unit has 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. Surrounded by mature trees on a generous lot with a two-car garage, the house is located minutes from LGA airport and a short drive to the city. In its 120 years, this house has had only 3 owners and much of the original details have been kept in pristine condition including the original carriage door in the basement
