This charming 1914 cedar shake Dutch Colonial offers exceptional curb appeal and is ideally situated in the heart of Douglas Manor, a NYC Landmark Historic District. Once home to Olympic legend Ray Ewry—one of the most decorated athletes in history—this residence is steeped in character and history.
Inside, original Greek Revival details, high ceilings, solid wood doors with crystal knobs, and a wood-burning fireplace blend seamlessly with an open, airy feel on the first floor. The spacious living and dining rooms flow into a bright family room, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. A built-in office nook with desk and shelving sits just off the living room, perfectly positioned beside a large window overlooking the backyard.
A full bath on the main level offers added flexibility, while upstairs you'll find three well-sized bedrooms and an oversized full bath, ready to personalize. The kitchen, featuring a Samsung stainless refrigerator, opens to a beautiful brick patio and backyard with a cozy fire pit—perfect for outdoor gatherings.
Additional highlights include gas heating and cooking, central vacuum, attic storage, and a basement with full-size windows and half bath. Mature gardens bloom from spring through fall, with peonies, hydrangeas, azaleas, and more.
Douglas Manor residents enjoy access to the Douglaston Dock, Memorial Field, and optional membership in the Douglaston Club. The Douglas Manor Association ($650/year) includes mooring, beach, kayak and paddleboard rights, plus concerts, Fourth of July festivities, and more.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of Queens’ most picturesque communities.
