There's a moment, walking up to 84-49 85th Avenue, when you realize this house is different. It doesn't sit at street level like everything around it. It rises above the noise, above the sidewalk, above the flood maps that keep so many Queens homeowners up at night. And when you step out back, the house does something even fewer Queens homes can claim: it simply becomes part of Forest Park.

This is a home with two front doors, two ways to arrive, and one unmistakable sense that you've found something the rest of the block doesn't have.

You enter through a south-facing windowed enclosed vestibule/mudroom. The kind of quiet, insulated buffer that keeps winter out and clutter contained. From there, the house opens into the main living room, which flows into a formal dining room built for holidays and full tables, then into a renovated eat-in kitchen with rich cabinetry, granite counters, and a center island.

Upstairs, three great-sized bedrooms share a full, skylit bathroom finished with custom tile.

Downstairs is where this home really surprises people. The finished lower level is a complete second living space, a recreation room, a separate bedroom/living area, a full bathroom, and a laundry area below the stairs, with its own walk-out door straight to the backyard. It's a natural mother/daughter suite, guest suite, or home office with real, livable square footage most homes at this price simply don't have.

Out back, an enclosed deck sits over the private garage and opens onto a custom gazebo, string-lit, curtained, and built to seat the whole family for dinner under the trees. This isn't a patio. It's an outdoor room.

And just past the fence line, the trees keep going because they belong to Forest Park, 500+ acres of hiking trails, bridle paths, a golf course, tennis courts, and an antique carousel, all steps from your back door.

Most attached homes in Woodhaven give you one way in. This one gives you TWO: the front door on quiet 85th Avenue, and direct vehicle access to your private garage from Park Lane South at the rear. The same road that borders Forest Park itself. Drive straight in, park, and you're home! No circling the block, no street parking gamble.

The 85th Street–Forest Parkway J station sits practically at the end of the block, with the Woodhaven Boulevard J/Z station and the Q11, Q52-SBS, Q53-SBS, and Q56 bus lines nearby, offering easy, direct routes into Manhattan and Brooklyn without a transfer. The Jackie Robinson Parkway runs right along the park, giving drivers a fast, green route out of the neighborhood.

Homes like this don't come up often in Woodhaven. Come see it for yourself.
