Your chance to live in a show-place in the sky. Sunlit from three exposures, this move-in-ready, serene, top-floor corner apartment features two large bedrooms, two full baths, a dine-in kitchen, vast living room, and an “extra” windowed room for your breakfast nook, home-office, or guest bedroom. Better yet, while this apartment feels like a private home, it is part of one of the most desirable Deco-Era co-ops in Historic Jackson Heights: The Griswold Hall.
The current owners moved into co-op one year ago. Added their own tasteful touches: custom racks/shelving in the sizable closets, specialized window treatments, sand-blasted radiator covers, professional painting, etc. It is impeccable in every aspect, from the superbly refinished oak and mahogany floors to the elegant Japanese and Italian light fixtures.
The owners love the tree-top sunlight, expansive space, their neighbors, and life in this well-managed co-op. They enjoy its location in Paseo Park. However their personal situation has changed, and they are forced to sell.
Don’t miss your chance to secure the perfect home for your family.
As you enter this apartment, you are struck by the stunning natural light, and spacious floor-plan. Your eyes catch the Deco-Era details: oak and mahogany floors, decorative moldings, nine-foot ceilings, and updated versions of the original “black and white” bathrooms. Those details, and excellent condition, will lure you in to look more closely, and the quality of the finishes will hold your attention.
From the welcoming eccentric curved entry-way, with separate coat and storage closets, you enter the spacious 32 foot long West-facing Foyer and Living Room. The entry foyer is suitable for a large dining table, or your work-from-home desk.
To the left of the foyer is one entrance to the sweeping kitchen, which has room for a small dining table at one end, and at the other opens into the windowed “extra” dining/bedroom/office space. The Kitchen features Shaker-inspired blonde wooden cabinets, white quartz countertops and brick backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Illuminating that charm, the kitchen has two bright South facing windows. And the “bonus” breakfast room is semi-arched with three S&W facing windows.
To the right of the entry foyer a hallway leads to both large bedrooms and baths. The Master-Bedroom sits in the corner of the building with three windows facing W&N, two large closets, and an en-suite full bath with shower stall and window.
Off the same hallway sits the second bedroom, with two more over-sized closets, as well as the full bath with original cast-iron soaking tub and another North-facing window.
Griswold Hall is a well-maintained, financially solid, Deco-Era Co-op with 84 individual units. Amenities include laundry, storage and a bike rooms. And a Children’s PlayRoom!! Live-in Super and Porter. Sublets allowed after two years. Dogs and cats welcome!
Built in 1937, the Griswold also features a beautifully landscaped private garden (and dog run). These “back up” to the landmarked “Doctor’s Row” private houses. on 86th Street. Southern light saturates the gardens year round. Creating the perfect place to share your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine with your friends and neighbors.
