39-27 49th Street

This quintessential Sunnyside Gardens home comes to market after being treasured by the same family for generations, offering a rare opportunity to become part of the next chapter of one of Queens’ most distinctive neighborhoods. Set within the celebrated Sunnyside Gardens Historic District, the home is part of one of the country’s earliest planned residential communities, established in the 1920s and known for its remarkable sense of place, abundant greenery, and thoughtfully designed spaces. Gardens residents enjoy access to the beloved Sunnyside Gardens Park, with expansive lawns, playgrounds, playing fields, and clay tennis courts. Approached through an adorable front garden, this classic brick townhome sits gracefully back from a picturesque, tree-lined street where the mature tree canopy creates a sense of privacy and enclosure. At the rear, an elevated patio opens to a generous lawn, creating an inviting extension of the home for outdoor dining, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. Inside, the home retains meaningful original details while having been thoughtfully refreshed for its next owner. The main level offers a gracious living room, formal dining room, and kitchen, along with access to a full basement that provides valuable additional space and flexibility. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom, completing a traditional and highly functional layout. Sunnyside Gardens has long been one of Queens’ most coveted enclaves, prized not only for its architecture and greenery but for the almost storybook quality of its streets and gardens. There is a sense of permanence here that is increasingly difficult to find: a neighborhood with history, community, and a genuine feeling of retreat, all within New York City.
