Classic Groѕs‐Mοrton Τudοr οn a Tree-Ꮮіnеd Οaklаnd Gardens Block
Welcome to 78-51 222nd Street, a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Gross-Morton Tudor featuring a private driveway and a large attached garage on a quiet, tree-lined street in Oakland Gardens, Queens.
Built in 1940 and meticulously cared for inside and out, this single-family home offers approximately 1,357 square feet of above-grade living space, a 612-square-foot finished basement, and roughly 198 square feet across two outdoor spaces (2nd floor terrace and rear deck), all situated on a generous 45 x 102 foot lot.
Inside, an inviting entry foyer leads into a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room, boasting gleaming original hardwood floors, seamlessly flows into a newly renovated, windowed kitchen outfitted with modern finishes and a full-size dishwasher. A full bathroom is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Step outside onto the private rear wooden deck, which overlooks a beautifully landscaped backyard with mature plantings—an ideal setting for morning coffee or outdoor entertaining.
The upper level features three bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete with heated floors. The expansive, sunlit primary bedroom is carpeted with original hardwood preserved underneath, while the two additional bedrooms showcase original hardwood flooring. This level also provides access to a private second-floor terrace. Plentiful closet space throughout ensures ample storage, complemented by an insulated attic.
The fully finished basement, featuring 7'2" ceiling heights, offers versatile extra space. It includes a flexible bonus room for a home office or gym, a dedicated laundry room, updated mechanical systems with a new heating boiler and new oil tank, under-stair storage, and a cedar-lined closet.
Additionally, a proposed floor plan demonstrates potential to add a third full bathroom and fourth bedroom while retaining the laundry and storage capacity (subject to municipal approvals).
Additional features include:
- Newly replaced roof backed by a transferable 30-year warranty
- Radiator heating powered by a new modern boiler (2025), plus supplemental baseboard heating in the basement
- New Oil Tank (2025)
