5244 79th Street, Elmhurst, NY, 11373 | $898,000

A rare opportunity to own a single-family attached home in Elmhurst, offering comfortable and flexible living across 2 full floors and a basement, with beautiful hardwood throughout. The home welcomes you with a front patch of land at the entrance, a lovely spot to plant flowers, herbs, or greenery that adds color and life right at the front door. Step inside to a coat closet foyer that opens into a bright and airy living room filled with natural light. Hardwood floors run throughout the entire home, bringing warmth and character to every level. A first-floor bedroom connects to a covered porch, offering a private outdoor space to enjoy morning and evening air. The kitchen is designed with its own door, giving you the freedom to cook. A wooden staircase leads to the second floor, where two large, sun-filled bedrooms and a full bath await. Both rooms are generously sized and bright, offering real comfort and space to spread out. From the kitchen, head down to the full basement, complete with a half bath and an open layout ready to become a home gym, private office, game room, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. A rear door leads directly to the backyard, keeping the flow between indoors and outdoors seamless. Out back, there is a private garage and a second parking space that doubles easily as an outdoor lounge or garden area. A shared driveway runs along the rear with access from both sides of the property. And then there is the bonus that makes this home genuinely one of a kind. Included with the purchase is an additional parcel of land at the rear, fully owned by the buyer. This is not a shared space or a common area. It is yours. In a borough where outdoor space is a luxury, this extra plot is an extraordinary find. Grow tomatoes, figs, and fruit trees. Plant lavender, roses, and wildflowers. Lay a stone path through raised beds and set out chairs among the blooms. Create a kitchen garden that supplies your table through the seasons. Put up a trellis, build a potting bench, or simply let the land breathe green around you. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.
