Property Description for 40-21 48th Street

Charming Sunnyside Gardens Home with Endless Potential!

Nestled in the heart of historic Sunnyside Gardens, Queens, this classic brick rowhouse exudes vintage charm and timeless character. Built in approximately 1925, and located on a peaceful tree-lined street, this home offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of one of New York City's most beloved garden communities!

The house, though in need of renovations, retains much of its original detail-from hardwood floors waiting to be restored to their original luster, to decorative moldings and a classic floor plan that invites customization. This 2BR (convertible to a 3BR) home offers a spacious living and dining room, natural light, a porch that overlooks the magical communal gardens, and a private patio that, with a little care, could become a lush urban oasis. The upstairs was originally configured as a 3BR home, though it currently operates as two generously-sized bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom are waiting to be modernized and for someone to put their own tasteful touches on them. A full basement offers additional storage and the potential for a home office, studio, play space, or a guest suite.

This is the ideal home for someone with vision and an appreciation for architectural charm. With its unbeatable location-just minutes to local shops, restaurants, parks, and schools-as well as just 15 minutes to Midtown Manhattan on the 7 train, this Sunnyside gem is a canvas ready for transformation into a truly special home. Located just down the block from Sunnyside Gardens Park, one of NYC's only private parks including tennis courts and playgrounds, as well as many nearby public parks, farmers markets, etc., you cannot beat this ideal location. This gem won't last. Schedule a showing today!
