Home Details for 42 Hillcrest Avenue

Steeped in history and reimagined with a designer’s eye, this 1918 masterpiece offers a rare blend of timeless Roslyn charm and high-end modern luxury. Tucked away on a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac, this home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a curated experience where every finish and fixture has been thoughtfully selected by its designer-owner. The heart of the home is a brilliant white chef’s kitchen, complete with gas cooking and a seamless flow into both the dining room and den. It’s a space built for hosting, whether you’re throwing a lively dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. French doors beckon you toward the classic front porch, while another set opens to a rear deck, blurring the lines between the elegant interiors and the lush, private grounds. While the home honors its historic roots with stunning wood floors and classic proportions, a 2018 expansion brought it firmly into the modern era. The addition of a sprawling main-level primary ensuite serves as a true sanctuary, featuring a private deck for moments of total serenity. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms and two full baths provide ample space for family or guests, complemented by the convenience of a first-floor laundry room and a stylish powder room. The property continues to impress outside. Beyond the main house sits a detached one-car garage with a surprise: a versatile upper-level space perfectly suited for a quiet home office, a yoga studio, or a private gym. Located just minutes from the vibrant shopping and dining of Roslyn Village and situated within the prestigious Roslyn School District, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of local history that has been loved, polished, and perfected. It’s more than a home; it’s a work of art waiting for its next chapter.
