Bayside Village – Solid Colonial with Timeless Craftsmanship Built with enduring quality and designed to last, this classic five-bedroom Colonial embodies the hallmark features of Bayside Village’s most admired homes—hardwood floors, plaster walls and ceilings, and gracious nine-foot ceilings that reflect true prewar craftsmanship. Perfectly positioned on a 41 × 100 east-facing lot, the home welcomes abundant natural light and an open, inviting atmosphere. The layout includes four full-size bedrooms on the second floor and a fifth bedroom in the finished attic, ideal for guests, extended family, or a quiet studio. An updated full bath upstairs and a renovated half bath on the main level blend modern comfort with vintage charm. The spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, and updated eat-in kitchen creates a seamless flow for both everyday living and entertaining. A rear home office offers privacy and flexibility for remote work or study. The full basement includes a younger Weil-McLain gas steam boiler, copper water main, and 220-volt / 100-amp electrical service with circuit breakers, ensuring reliable operation and efficiency. The roof, replaced within the past seven years with architectural-grade shingles, provides long-term peace of mind. Outside, a long private driveway leads to a detached 1.5-car garage, and the spacious backyard is perfect for gardening, gatherings, or relaxation. Located within the highly regarded School District 26, this home is zoned for PS 41 (Crocheron School) and Bayside High School, both known for strong academic reputations and community involvement. Offering a rare combination of solid construction, thoughtful updates, and one of Bayside Village’s most convenient settings, this residence captures the best of classic design and modern comfort.
