Perched atop the desirable Maspeth Plateau in Queens, this beautifully maintained home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, along with a full finished basement complete with a separate outside entrance-ideal for recreation, storage, or flexible living space. The updated eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with rich chestnut cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a stylish tiled backsplash.

Quality Foods and the beloved Rosa's Pizza. Only four blocks away is the iconic O'Neill's Restaurant, a neighborhood staple since 1933.
