Home Details for 240-17 E Pine Street

This beautifully preserved 1925 Colonial Revival home is tucked into the heart of the Douglaston Hill Historic District, where storybook charm meets timeless design. Designed by Aubrey B. Grantham and built by renowned local craftsman Samuel Lindbloom, the home exudes character and grace, from its wood-shingle exterior to its intersecting gables and original six-over-six sash windows. A thoughtfully proportioned layout includes a spacious, sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a south-facing dining room that could easily be transformed into a first-floor bedroom with its own ensuite full bath — an ideal option for guests, one-level living, or future planning. The kitchen overlooks the green backyard, where mature plantings, a beautiful stone retaining wall, and a blue slate patio create a peaceful and private setting. Upstairs, you’ll find two to three bedrooms and another full bath, all nestled beneath a charming shed-roof dormer that enhances both light and space. Outside, winding stone pathways, fieldstone accents, and cobblestone street edging highlight the care and character of the grounds. Lovingly maintained and full of original detail, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and neighborhood pride — all just blocks from the Douglaston LIRR station and the waterfront. A special offering in a truly special enclave.
