OPEN HOUSE
BOASTS ORIGINAL DETAILS, MODERN UPGRADES
floor has a convenient half bath and
the nice-sized living and formal
dining rooms eagerly await those
merry holiday guests who may soon
gather round for drinks, festive
meals, and good conversation. The
modern eat-in kitchen has special
features, including a farm-style
sink and a pot filler/water spout at
the stove — nice perks for the avid
cook — low maintenance (heat- and
bacteria-resistant) quartz countertops
and island, as well as Frigidaire
Gallery appliances.
On the second floor is an impressive
master bedroom with an en-suite
bathroom and walk-in closet, three
more bedrooms, and a full bathroom.
One flight up, discover a full walk-up
attic with bonus room and a cedar
closet. And down below is a partially
finished basement with a full-size
pool table, washer, and dryer. Outside
it has a detached two-car garage.
Kelly purchased the property one
year ago and is selling it for $998,000.
Thanks to his amazing skills and
know-how, the house is in mint condition.
Modern improvements include
updated systems, a new furnace, and
a new 50-gallon hot water tank.
The exterior has been completely
restored, including all the original
finishes, according to McGuire, who
points out that the original wood
siding was preserved and painted in
colonial blue with a complimentary
accent color scheme, while the copper
exterior gutters/leaders provide
another finishing accent.
Sleek and modern: Top-of-the-line kitchen features quartz countertops and shiny stainless appliances.
“This home is not a historic landmark,
so there is no restriction on
future renovations/color changes, if
the new owner wishes to customize
the house,” McGuire explains.
Folks who visit may wish to take a
few minutes to enjoy the inviting
front porch which has a romantic
swing and bench seat, then take a
walk around the nabe and see why
Floral Park is considered such a safe
and desirable area.
“Floral Park’s motto is, ‘a great place
to live,’” says McGuire. Some of the
reasons: the recreation center with
newly renovated, residents-only
pool, as well as a children’s park area
with athletic fields and courts.
“There’s a small-town community
feel, and so many restaurants and
shops — all within walking distance,”
he adds. “And historic Belmont Park
is only a mile away.”
More plusses: The home isn’t far from
the Long Island Rail Road station,
making for an easy commute, with
only a 35-minute ride to Manhattan.
And the village has a private police
department and its own fire and
sanitation departments. In addition,
its elementary and high schools are
highly rated.
“Generations of people have come
back to look at the home — former
residents and neighbors who grew
up in the area,” says McGuire. “Some
even recall Girl Scout meetings there.
This home is now ready for the family
that will write the next chapter of
history in the Village of Floral Park.”
