From the moment you enter, it’s clear this is not a typical prewar apartment. Thoughtfully and completely renovated, the home blends timeless architectural charm with modern design and everyday functionality. A gracious entry foyer welcomes you in, currently styled as a mudroom and drop zone. Originally designed as a walk-in closet, it can easily be converted back if desired. It immediately sets the tone: smart, flexible, and beautifully finished. The reworked floorplan creates a seamless flow between rooms while preserving distinct, well-proportioned spaces, a rare achievement in prewar layouts. Original archways frame each transition, adding warmth and character while guiding you effortlessly from one space to the next. The dining area feels like a true room, comfortably accommodating a table for six beneath a striking mid-century modern fixture. Whether for everyday meals or hosting holidays and friends, this space was designed to be enjoyed. The living room unfolds into an oversized, light-filled gathering space with sunny southern and eastern exposures. It easily accommodates a large sectional, multiple seating areas, and custom built-ins without feeling crowded. Recessed lighting, coved ceilings, picture moldings, skim-coated walls, and original hardwood floors with classic inlay create the perfect balance of prewar elegance and modern polish. Custom bookshelves add warmth, storage, and a curated sophistication. The kitchen is a true standout and a dream for anyone who loves to cook. Completely reimagined, it features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops on both sides for generous prep space, and abundant storage rarely found in city apartments, including a custom pantry. A breakfast bar provides casual seating and keeps the space connected to the living and dining areas, ideal for entertaining. Stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, subway tile backsplash, and thoughtful lighting complete this beautiful yet highly functional workspace. The bathroom evokes a boutique hotel spa. A separate glass-enclosed shower features marble mosaic floors and walls, along with a ceiling-mounted rain showerhead. There is also a pedestal sink, modern fixtures, a heated towel bar, and a soaking tub with a dual-head shower system, creating a calm and luxurious retreat. Both bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully separated from the entertaining areas. The principal bedroom is oversized and serene, with three windows offering multiple exposures and beautiful light throughout the day. There is ample room for a king bed, seating, and additional furniture, along with two large closets. The second bedroom easily functions as a guest room, nursery, or home office and includes its own dedicated closet. Throughout the home, no detail has been overlooked: new doors with sleek nickel hardware, custom roller shades, new baseboards, refined millwork, skim-coated walls and ceilings, and cohesive finishes that make the apartment feel intentional and truly move-in ready. Beyond the apartment, the building offers a well-maintained elevator cooperative with a live-in superintendent, laundry room, private storage, and a beautifully landscaped shared garden. Just moments from Travers Park, Paseo Park, the Sunday Greenmarket, and beloved neighborhood cafés, the location combines everyday convenience with true Jackson Heights charm. The building is pet-friendly, allows limited subletting, and the monthly maintenance is $1,238. The result is rare: a home with authentic prewar soul, modern comfort, and a layout that simply makes sense — elegant without being formal, stylish without sacrificing comfort, and designed to live beautifully every day.
