20-29 28th Street, Queens (Steinway-Ditmars), NY, 11105 | $1,079,000

Offered for the first time in nearly 80 years, this is a home that reflects a different era of ownership, one defined by longevity, care, and quiet consistency. A proper living room anchors the main level, with a formal dining room set just beyond and a windowed kitchen positioned where it naturally belongs. There is a coat closet at the entry, and a secondary staircase from the kitchen that leads directly to the full basement, a practical, almost understated feature that adds to the home’s usability. Upstairs, two well-scaled bedrooms offer a clear separation from the living spaces below. The primary includes two closets, one of them a walk-in, while the second bedroom is equally comfortable in size and function. The bathroom remains intact with its original 1940s fixtures, a subtle reminder of the home’s history, and there's a linen closet right outside for additional storage. The lower level extends the footprint in a meaningful way, with both a front and a rear private entrance and an additional bathroom. A private outdoor patio leads to a detached garage with a loft above, a feature that is increasingly uncommon. The front yard is perfect for the novice or avid gardener. There is a quiet confidence to a home like this. It has been lived in, maintained, and now, for the first time in decades, it is ready for its next chapter.
