Set back on a private easement off Midland Avenue, this Lincoln Park 4-bedroom raised Cape Cod offers a rare combination of privacy, quiet and parkland, minutes from New York City. Directly across the road is Tibbetts Brook Park, 161 acres of nature trails, a lake, soccer fields, tennis courts, miniature golf and a lazy river pool. There are no homes facing you, just trees and open space. The home has been meticulously maintained, and it shows the moment you walk in. The main level offers a living room with park views, an eat-in kitchen that opens to the patio and garden, the primary bedroom, a second bedroom and a full bath. The upper level has two more bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, and a second full bath. Hardwood floors run throughout. The finished walk-out lower level adds a tiled recreation room, laundry and direct access to the attached one-car garage with ample storage. Outside, a beautifully landscaped backyard with mature perennials and a patio is made for entertaining. There are also two driveway parking spaces. Commuting is easy, with express buses, the No. 4 subway and Metro-North minutes away and the Saw Mill, Sprain Brook and Cross County parkways close by. Dunwoodie Golf Course, shopping, restaurants and the gym are nearby. Privacy, parkland and an easy trip to Manhattan rarely come together. This home has all three.
