Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated charming Spanish-style home, nestled in the desirable historic neighborhood of Floral Park. Built in 1929 and known as the Neff House, it benefits from the Mills Act for significant property tax savings. With a classic Spanish tile roof, archways, captivating architectural details, and wrought iron touches, this home offers both vintage charm throughout and fabulous modern comforts and upgrades such as seller-owned solar panels, air-conditioning, and earthquake retrofitting! A welcoming veranda style front porch and striking solid wood front door with a large speakeasy window with curved iron set the tone for the character within. Inside, discover original niches, built-in cabinetry, paneled doors, and high coved tray ceilings with ceiling fans throughout. The expansive living room is bathed in natural light from numerous original windows and anchored by a gorgeous vintage tile fireplace. The formal dining room, featuring a beamed ceiling, flows seamlessly through an elegant archway into the living room, making it ideal for entertaining. Enjoy your morning coffee in the charming breakfast nook, surrounded by original built-in cabinetry, which leads through another arch into the updated kitchen. There, granite countertops meet vintage cabinetry, preserving the historic aesthetic while adding modern functionality. The home offers three bedrooms and two remodeled bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an ensuite bath featuring a dark wood vintage style cabinetry and tiled shower. Two generous guest bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or home office needs. Laundry room has additional storage above. Original thin plank walnut-stained hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by tile in kitchen and baths. Outdoors, enjoy beautifully landscaped backyard retreat with multiple areas to relax. A brick circular patio, a partially cover patio area with interlocking pavers & the newer metal cellar door, raised garden beds, and a beautiful & productive lemon tree. Pathways lead to a hidden wooden gazebo, the perfect hideaway for quiet afternoons. Additional highlights include a long driveway, oversized rebuilt two-car garage, low maintenance yard, and ornate iron gate. This rare gem is the reason you come to Floral Park, a blending historic beauty with contemporary living, and all in the heart of this wonderful community! Currently leased until 5/31/2026.
