Queens (South Jamaica), NY, 11436 | $769,000

Offered for the first time in over 60 years, this beautifully maintained semi-detached colonial has been lovingly cared for by the same family for generations — and it shows in every detail. Set behind a charming brick-and-shutter façade with a covered entry, this 3-bedroom, 2. 5-bath home offers space, storage, and updates that are genuinely hard to find. Inside, a tiled foyer with a coat closet leads into a bright, open living and dining area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen has been fully renovated with rich espresso cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and gas cooking. The king-sized primary bedroom is a true retreat with two double-wide closets. Plus, there’s an extra closet just outside in the hallway near the full bath. The top floor offers two more generously sized bedrooms with large closets and an additional full bath. The fully finished basement adds an entire extra level of living space, anchored by a sprawling recreation room and a built-in wet bar — perfect for movie nights, a home gym, a playroom, or hosting guests. There’s also a dedicated laundry room, a utility room, and a half-bath. Outside, the curb appeal is immediate: a landscaped front lawn, mature shrubs, and a welcoming covered stoop. The fully fenced, private backyard is ready for entertaining or gardening, complete with a storage shed and patio, while the long private driveway provides ample off-street parking, which is rarely found in the neighborhood. This home has also been thoughtfully updated for worry-free ownership, including split-system ductless air conditioning throughout, new windows, new siding, a new roof, a new hot water heater, and a new concrete driveway — major-ticket items already taken care of. Ideally located in Jamaica with convenient access to transportation, shopping, schools, and parks, this is a rare chance to own a home that has been cherished for six decades — and make it your own for the next.
