Property Description

Discover a top-floor, move-in ready home in Jackson Heights’ fabled historic district that combines classic pre-war charm with modern updates. This unique two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence in The Colonials offers an expansive floor-through design with views from east to west. With just two homes per floor, a long, wide hallway thoughtfully separates the living space from the bedrooms. The formal living and dining rooms flow together creating an ideal space for hosting and relaxation. They are filled with all day, natural light from oversized windows and feature nine-foot ceilings, elegant hardwood floors, and period trim and molding, providing a perfect backdrop for your artwork and collections. Adjacent to the dining area, the updated, windowed kitchen boasts charming sage green cabinetry, a pristine, white subway tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances (including a dishwasher and microwave). You’ll also find a farmhouse sink, ample white quartz countertops, and best of all, a full-sized washer and dryer. The renovated, windowed bathroom maintains this thoughtful blend of pre-war and contemporary, offering a pedestal sink, a new toilet, and the original claw-foot tub with shower. Shiplap wainscotting and new floor tile add to its appeal. Both the primary and secondary bedrooms are located at the unit's quiet end overlooking the building courtyard. The primary bedroom includes two east-facing windows, a spacious closet, and comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed, reading chair, and dresser. The secondary bedroom has a south-facing window, the original built-in closets, and space for a full-sized bed (or bunk beds) and a desk or dresser. Building amenities include a laundry room, individual storage units, a resident courtyard, and a live-in superintendent. Pets are allowed; no subletting. Built in 1915 and designed by George H. Wells, the Neo-Georgian-style Colonials were America’s first cooperative conversion in 1920. This distinctive community comprises six five-story walk-up buildings, each with ten units (two per floor) and its own governing board. Located close to the subway and 37th Avenue - the main shopping and dining street in Jackson Heights - this location is close to Travers Park and the Sunday greenmarket. Easy access to Manhattan and LaGuardia Airport too!
