Meticulously designed by owner, this newly constructed 4-bed/4-bath manor house is spacious and inviting. Located in Alden Manor on the outskirts of Queens, it features 2,300 square feet of luxurious interior living space (3,200 total sq ft), a bright and large living area with a 21-foot-high ceiling, north-facing oversized casement window, and well-proportioned interior spaces with curated high-end finishes and imported elements. Blending contemporary design with lasting quality, it is a modern-day reinterpretation of a Lord’s chateau, reminiscent of Beaufort Castle in Beauly, Scotland, the traditional seat of the Frasers of Lovat, the Scottish clan from which owner descends. Quality materials and fittings are sourced from Fraser ancestral lands in the UK, Canada, and Continental Europe. Taking cues from the Bauhaus movement, the architecture is modern and intentionally minimalist to highlight lux materials, fittings, and contemporary furnishings. An open floor plan and large windows invite ample natural light to permeate the home with northern and southern exposures giving a coastal vibe, complemented by more than 800 square feet of outdoor deck areas. Upon entry, the eye is drawn to the helicoidal oak staircase imported from Florence, Italy enticing you to ascend to the second-floor loft. Designed and manufactured by Marretti, the staircase is finished with a medium stain, contrasting nicely with the pre-finished blond hardwood oak floors that run throughout the first and second floors. The living area is accentuated by a suspended Taraxacum Chandelier designed by the mid-century modern architect, Achille Castiglioni. At night, it becomes a glowing orb shining through the floor-to-ceiling window. Set off the living area is the state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen outfitted with imported Mia Cucina Italian custom cabinetry, Italian Calacatta Caldia polished marble waterfall edge countertops and backsplash, a five-burner Bertazzoni gas range and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. Just behind the staircase there is a wine bar outfitted by California Closets with custom lighting designed by Shakuff. First and second floors feature 10-foot ceilings purposely designed for the owner’s modern art collection, which is displayed throughout the entire house. The back of the property faces south looking onto a soccer/football pitch. On the first level there are two bedrooms, one that can be used as an office or study. A large sun room climaxes the first floor with French doors opening onto a rear deck for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. From the second-floor loft, views overlooking the first floor are architecturally inspiring. Over the course of the day, natural light flooding into the house reveals ever-changing spatial qualities. The expansive well-lit primary suite is on the second-floor at the back of the property, showcasing the oak floors in herringbone pattern, Asian-inspired furniture, custom pendants, and a sizable outdoor balcony offering views of the adjacent sports park as well as memorable sunsets. Double barn doors for closet and primary bathroom give the space a contemporary feel. The large skylit walk-in closet was custom-built by California Closets and the skylit en-suite bathroom features a custom designed dual sink walnut vanity and matching backsplash manufactured by JMV Woodworks from Canada. The vanity is finished with a beautiful quartzite waterfall edge countertop and modern faucets from Canadian-based Riobel. The shower is oversized with a wall of seamless glass. A rainfall showerhead, large format porcelain tile, marble seat, and herringbone shower pan complete the spa-like feel. The property features a 400 square foot 2-car garage with an interior turntable. The exterior is clad with Fraser Wood Siding from Canada to mimic the aesthetic of the main house. There is a generous driveway for multiple vehicles as well as abundant street parking. Fraser’s Ridge is near public transportation corridors and 10 minutes from JFK airport. The property is easily and quickly accessible from Manhattan and the outer boroughs via Elmont LIRR station. While the house offers a sophisticated urban feel that evokes a loft-style residence in Manhattan, Miami, LA, or the Hamptons, this unique property is in a less congested and peaceful area of Long Island minutes from the UBS Arena and Belmont Park Village, where designer brands can be purchased at reasonable prices. Many nearby restaurants, shops, and convenience stores give the area a distinctive character. Fraser’s Ridge is currently featured in commercials on HGTV and Magnolia Network for Real American Hardwood highlighting its unique wood finishes. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1vqs/real-american-hardwood-coalition-build-your-sancturary The combination of modern design excellence, high-end finishes, and easy access to/from Manhattan for patrons make this the ideal property for your next group meeting, private reception, birthday party, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding anniversary, culinary event, or pop-up event. Owner requires at least a 2 to 3-week lead time prior to reservation, COI, and 6-hour minimum rental. Reservations open to US, European, Latin American, Middle Eastern and Asian-based event planners. Owner would be happy to arrange a walk-through of the space, acclimate you to the area and respond to any questions that you might have. We appreciate your interest and look forward to hosting you at Fraser’s Ridge.
