1019 W 19th Street

This sophisticated West Floral Park residence on a charming tree-lined street is a perfect architectural example of Ranch style which emerged in the 1930’s. The prominent builder and “Father of Floral Park,” Allison C. Honer, custom built this lovely home in 1950. As you enter, notice the original hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and plantation shutters that add immeasurable warmth throughout. The spacious living room is an entertainer’s dream featuring a custom fireplace with travertine surround, mantel, built-in bookcase, and French doors providing a glorious view of the backyard/pool. A sizable formal dining room with stylish plantation shutters is conveniently located directly off the kitchen making dinner parties a cinch. The originality of the kitchen cabinetry has been purposefully preserved with a bright corner window and huge pantry closet completing the kitchen area. The original laundry room off the kitchen was converted into a workstation with built-in desk and cabinets (easily converted back to the laundry room). Each of the two adjacent bedrooms feature over-sized mirrored closets with plentiful storage space. The shared hall bathroom has been remodeled with a beautiful tub/shower combo. The third bedroom en suite has French doors, 3/4 bathroom completely remodeled, and private outdoor access. It currently serves as a study with custom cabinetry and built-ins to showcase your art, collectibles and books. A stunning black bottom pool is surrounded by lush, mature landscaping and accented by vibrant lapis-blue colored edging. A soothing waterfall feeds into the pool’s crystal-clear water adding to the Zen-like feel of this private oasis. Feel your stress melt away as you lay back and relax in the sun or under a partially covered patio accented with complimentary rustic grey river rock. Alternatively, open the French doors and transport the peace and tranquility of the garden and the pool’s waterfall into the house itself. The driveway leads to a spacious two-car detached garage. Upgrades include brand new HVACand hot water heater, fresh interior paint, an updated sprinkler system, newer windows, and a 5 ½ year old roof. West Floral Park is well-known for its vintage custom residences, but its diverse and inclusive community is what makes it a unique and special place to call home.
