Nestled on a private corner in Douglaston’s cherished landmark district, 101 Forest Road is a rare Dutch Colonial masterpiece — a loving and detailed replica of Brooklyn’s Lefferts Historic House. With five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and an atmosphere rich in craftsmanship and grace, this home offers timeless beauty with everyday comfort.

A grand, columned front porch with a bluestone path and brick flooring sets the stage for what’s to come. Inside, you’ll find wide-plank wood floors, elegant wainscoting, and intricate millwork throughout. Two magnificent wood-burning fireplaces anchor the sun-filled living and dining rooms, while French doors and thoughtful flow enhance the sense of space and charm.

The kitchen is warm and functional, with granite countertops, handsome wood cabinetry, and high-end appliances, including a professional-grade range. A cozy breakfast nook sits between two windows—perfect for casual meals or morning coffee. A side entrance leads directly to the long private driveway and backyard. Just off the kitchen, a stylish laundry/bar area adds flexibility for entertaining. A comfortable den with a Dutch door opens onto the screened porch—complete with wood floors, a beamed ceiling, and ceiling fan—offering the perfect indoor-outdoor retreat. A charming side stone patio with multiple entry points from both the living room and den offers an additional private space for relaxation.

This exceptional five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers a gracious layout for daily living and entertaining. The private primary suite is a serene escape with its own en-suite bath. A clever, separate staircase from the kitchen leads to a private bedroom that shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with another room—an ideal arrangement for a nanny suite, extended family, or a secluded guest retreat. Two sun-drenched bedrooms share access to a delightful balcony, perfect for quiet moments.

Adding to its appeal, the home includes a full, unfinished basement with high ceilings—offering abundant storage and excellent potential for future customization.

This is more than a home—it’s a legacy of beauty, history, and grace waiting to welcome its next chapter. Situated just moments from the waterfront, the Douglaston Club, and the LIRR, this is a rare offering you won't want to miss. The Douglas Manor Association ($900/year) includes mooring, beach, kayak and paddleboard rights, plus concerts, Fourth of July festivities, and much more.
