That place must have been built and decorated by a Jewish or Greek family. Guaranteed!

Probably Bukharan Jews. Instead of "keeping up with the Joneses" it's keeping up with the Avezbadalovs.

The "old" feel could have worked for the house, but it would have worked better if it wasn't so cluttered with old things. Loved how they had xbox games in one of the rooms.

No wonder people in Forest Hills are so up in arms with these houses. This is likely the work of some of the Eastern European Jews that have been moving into the area over the years. They build these monstrosities, claiming that they need large homes for their large families.

Indians in Glen Oaks build some monstrosities too. With the lawn paved over

Pretty much every new house that is built in Kew Gardens looks like this on the outside. They are horrible.

Someone spent a metric buttload building that. The style is well, very owner specific.
