About This Home
This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom single family at 42 Hillcrest Avenue in Roslyn, NY is listed for $1,899,000 ($758 per sqft). Built in 1918, the home offers 2,506 sqft of living space on a 0.31 acres lot.
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.

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 Distri
ct, 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.
