New listing in the Park Briar! It has to be seen to be appreciated!
Welcome to this thoughtfully renovated and reimagined flexible two-bedroom residence in the heart of Forest Hills.
Originally configured as an alcove studio, this approximately 700-square-foot, fifth-floor home has been intelligently redesigned to offer versatile living, guest, and home-office accommodations. With a southern exposure, the apartment enjoys pleasant natural light and open views overlooking the Park Briars front garden.
The spacious living area comfortably accommodates both everyday living and entertaining, with ample room for a dining area and full-size sofa. Floor-to-ceiling sliding privacy glass panels can be closed to create a queen-size sleeping area or private home office, offering exceptional flexibility without compromising the openness of the living space.
The separate bedroom easily accommodates a queen-size bed. A dedicated dining area features glass-fronted shelving and convenient storage for dishes, glassware, and entertaining essentials.
The entry foyer is outfitted with custom double closets with elegant glass sliding doors, providing generous storage while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Hardwood floors run throughout the apartment.
The renovated bathroom has been thoughtfully upgraded with customized storage, a dedicated dressing area, high-hat lighting, and a tiled, walk-in rain shower that creates a spa-like retreat.
The Park Briar offers an array of amenities, including a fitness room, laundry room, live-in superintendent, on-site parking garage, peaceful rear courtyard, and 24-hour concierge.
The location is exceptionally convenient and walkable, with multiple supermarkets, Austin Street shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, and the popular Forest Hills Stadium all nearby. The E and F express subway trains are just one block away, providing approximately a 20-minute commute to Manhattan. Express buses are also close at hand, while the LIRR offers approximately 13-minute service to Penn Station and Grand Central.
