The four-bedroom turnkey home was built in the late 1980s but has a European-style design with storybook details, like a mansard roof and casement windows.

This $4.8M townhouse adds modern architecture to a historic Manhattan Valley block

The Upper West Side's Manhattan Valley district has a neighborhood vibe that's increasingly rare in New York City. This aspect–along with proximity to Central Park–is another reason the five-floor townhouse at 138 Manhattan Avenue may be a rare find. Asking $4,750,000, the 19th-century home was designed by noted Gilded Age architect C.P.H. Gilbert. Within its graceful frame, the home's interiors are a showcase of modern architecture and design, including a roof deck and "penthouse" studio on the fifth floor.

‘QueensLink’ receives $400K grant to study reactivation of abandoned railway

By
A plan to reactivate a deserted railway as the first north-to-south subway line in Queens just got a financial boost from the federal government. The nonprofit group behind QueensLink, a proposal extending the M train from Rego Park to the Rockaways along the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch with accompanying bike paths and trails, received a $400,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as part of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program. The funds would pay for a study measuring the impacts of the project, which the group hopes could bring more support for QueensLink; it is currently competing against a separate project to build a linear park on the same railway.

Inside, 21st-century best-ofs like smart-home technology and a geothermal heating and cooling system power nearly 10,000 square feet of living space with six bedrooms.
