The Dunton Avenue residence turns a slender Queens lot into a light-filled urban manor. Flemish-bond brick walls rise to a slate-look hipped roof, their solidity dramatically pierced by a four-panel column of arched windows that floods a double-height great room with daylight. A cast-stone portico with a gabled pediment and ornate wrought-iron entry doors stages a ceremonial arrival, while a tuck-under garage preserves garden and play space at grade. Classical massing and detailing meet contemporary glazing to give the home a stately yet transparent street presence.
