216 Beverly Road, Douglaston, New York
216 Beverly Road sits inside the small registry of Douglaston Manor homes designated as historic landmarks. Built in 1925, kept across a century of ownership, and quietly modernized for the way families live now.
A century of natural light, gathered against a working fireplace.
Marble, white cabinetry, schoolhouse pendants. The 1925 windows kept.
Windows on two walls and a peaked ceiling. The architectural signature, kept.
Sun on the wall, leaves on the glass, fence line of the Manor beyond.
Period tile, pedestal sink, restored trim. Small rooms doing careful work.
“Houses that survive a hundred years on the North Shore are not lucky. They are looked after.”
On Douglaston Manor216 Beverly was raised in 1925, in the early years of Douglaston Manor's development as a private community on a peninsula reaching into Little Neck Bay. The architecture is American Colonial Revival in its quieter mode: symmetrical proportions, white trim, a pitched roof, and the divided-light double-hung windows that defined a generation of well-built North Shore homes.
The house is one of the small set of Manor properties that the city has designated as a historic landmark. That status is not decorative. It is a covenant. It means the exterior cannot be reshaped on a whim, that any future owner inherits the responsibility for the elevation, and that the block's character is held in trust across generations of buyers.
Inside, the work of the most recent stewardship is visible without being loud. The kitchen has been opened for contemporary cooking but keeps its original window line. The family room reads as a single airy volume but holds its 1925 mantel. The upstairs bedroom under the vaulted ceiling looks out over the rear garden and the property's pool. The four bathrooms have been brought current in a way that respects what came before them.
A 2,677 square foot floor plan, five bedrooms, four baths, two-car garage and an 8,000 square foot lot inside one of New York's most quietly held historic enclaves.

A Private Garden

216 Beverly is one of a small set of Douglaston Manor houses formally designated as a historic landmark. The exterior, the elevation, the roofline: protected.
Built at the height of the Manor's first wave of development. Period proportions, symmetrical massing, true divided-light windows. Survives because it was made properly the first time.
2,677 square feet arranged for a real family. Five bedrooms upstairs, four full baths, an open family room on the ground floor, and a renovated kitchen made for cooking.
A proper garden lot for the Manor. Rear pool, mature hedge perimeter, and the kind of privacy that comes from a hundred-year-old planting plan.
Detached, two bays. Manor parking has always been a real-estate question and this property answers it.

Douglaston Manor was laid out at the turn of the twentieth century on a peninsula reaching north into Little Neck Bay. The streets curve along the water. The lots are deep. The houses are mostly from the 1910s and 1920s, built when the railroad to Manhattan made the North Shore practical.
Beverly Road sits inside the older heart of the Manor. The LIRR Douglaston station is a short walk, putting Penn Station on the map. Schools are well regarded. The block keeps to itself.
