About 1348 42nd St
This completely renovated 1917 home is so stunning, it looks like it was pulled straight from your Pinterest board. A perfect blend of original character and timeless, designer-level updates, every inch has been thoughtfully crafted through a collaboration between the homeowner, Alt Design Studio, and Invest DSM. Inside, you’ll find space to live, work, and entertain in style. The main level features beautiful hardwood floors, new windows, and abundant natural light. The designer kitchen is a showstopper with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and tile work, and stainless steel appliances—including a gas range, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Also on the main floor are a family room, office, sunroom, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a serene retreat with a custom-tiled bathroom and walk-in closet. A brand-new two-car detached garage and driveway complete the property. If you love the charm of an older home but crave the features of a new one, this might be your perfect match. Parking is available on Forest Ave - either on street or in side driveway. Please do not park in driveway off 42nd - it is the neighbor's driveway.
