Property Description for 90-01 68th Ave
Rarely available corner Wolosoff Brothers Tudor townhome, blending timeless architectural charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Lovingly maintained, this special residence begins with an entry vestibule that opens into a dramatic sunken living room featuring soaring 10-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, and two sets of stained-glass windows that provide dual exposures and bathe the space in beautiful natural light. A wood-burning corner fireplace adds warmth and character, while rich hardwood floors flow throughout the home, enhancing its warmth and cohesion.
From the living room, you flow into a modern open-concept dining room accented with original mirror details, which then leads into the stunning fully renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, Viking, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, and custom cabinetry. Off the kitchen, a door opens to the private back patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining. A stylish powder room completes the main level.
The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a charming bay window and built-in window seat. The oversized marble hall bath has been beautifully renovated with a glass-enclosed shower and an extra-deep soaking tub-designed for both luxury and relaxation.
The fully finished basement provides excellent additional living space, including a spacious recreation room with a second wood-burning corner fireplace, a full bathroom, and a separate room with endless possibilities-currently being used as an office but easily adaptable as additional guest space.
Outside the home, the private patio is a magical backyard oasis with beautiful plantings such as hydrangeas and trumpet flowers, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. There is a separate grilling area, lounging area, and dining area, plus a bonus small garden space beyond that has been used as a vegetable garden. A gardener's delight and a wonderful entertaining space. A detached one-car garage completes the property.
Located on one of the prettiest blocks in Forest Hills, this historic home is just a short distance to all forms of transportation-including express buses, the LIRR now with stops to Grand Central and Penn Stations, the E/F/M/R subway lines, as well as all major highways and airports. You'll also be moments from the shops, restaurants, and movies on Metropolitan Avenue, including Trader Joe's, upscale shopping on Austin Street, and the iconic West Side Tennis Club.

Forest Hills | Queens
Quick Profile
Nestled in the heart of Queens, Forest Hills is primarily a residential area that offers the calmness of suburban living alongside the whirl of the big city. The contrasts are sharp. Take a stroll through the idyllic Forest Hills Gardens and you’ll find tree-lined streets and homes with manicured lawns. Cross the LIRR train tracks that slice through this neighborhood and you’re in a different world, one dominated by apartment complexes that straddle both sides of Queens Boulevard, one of the busiest and widest commercial streets in the city.
Forest Hills is first and foremost a community that has stood the test of time. It is a haven for families, young adults and retirees alike. It’s the kind of place that you visit for an outdoor summer concert and never want to leave. Who wouldn’t find the low-rise Tudor styled apartment buildings along Tennis Place and Burns Street alluring.
Plainly put, one can get anywhere from Forest Hills in a reasonable amount of time. Accessible transportation is a core virtue and not surprisingly, the introduction of subway lines to Forest Hills in the mid 1930s changed the neighborhood forever. By 1940, the population swelled to 32,000, more than three times the local population just twenty years earlier. Today Forest Hills is home to about 85,000 people and transportation is a key checkbox. You can not only commute to Manhattan below ground, but above ground as well via the LIRR from Station Square. The LIRR can deliver you to Penn Station in 15 minutes or eastward toward the Long Island beaches in forty.
Forest Hills High School at 110th Street between 66th Road and 67th Road anchors the far northern edge of Forest Hills, covering multiple city blocks. Fanning out from the high school are entire blocks of tree-lined streets with single-family homes. In contrast to the Gardens, these blocks are a mix of older and newer homes, even some McMansions.
There are two main streets that run through Forest Hills. Austin Street is an endless retail strip of local and national stores, many of which seem to be carved out of the tudor buildings that they occupy. Restaurants are aplenty and reflect the diverse cuisine of the neighborhood’s inhabitants. Queens Boulevard, once deemed the “most dangerous road in America,” is a 12-lane road (could be as wide as 16 lanes in some places) that represents the impact and consequences of urban sprawl. Queens Boulevard is literally a 7.5 mile sprint to and from the city through the heart of Queens.
As can be expected, the older variety of multi-family buildings in Forest Hills are largely low-rise prewars, typically five and six stories. They are split between co-ops and rental buildings. The newer post-war buildings, have grown taller as housing needs have changed. Most of these high-rise structures align Queens Boulevard and stand from 20 to 30 stories tall.
