With an assigned parking spot for only $35 per month, this sunny and spacious one-bedroom coop checks all the right boxes! This home makes perfect sense for downsizers looking to simplify and first time buyers looking to step on to the wealth building escalator that is NYC real estate. The L-shaped layout separates the bedroom from the living room, so your partner can crank the TV without waking you while you sleep in. It yields 3 exposures (South and West) for great light. Sightlines are superior – before you even step inside your home, twin sightlines 32' deep continue out the windows into the treetops – bringing the outdoors inside and giving the home a bigger, brighter vibe. The corner exposure dining room has sightlines through the kitchen and living room, letting you carry on conversations with your guests and chef simultaneously, which lets you host a proper dinner party or card game while some of your guests retreat to the living room to watch TV – leaving nobody out of the conversation. The windowed bath lets old air out and sunlight in. The updated kitchen is good to go – no renovation necessary. Windows in every room (6 in all) including the bath and ample storage in 4 closets. A foyer is big enough for a desk, some framed art and a standing mirror, giving you another functional space and a sense of arrival. All utilities included in your reasonable maintenance of $1133. Your bright, spacious lobby greets you and your visitors. The private playground gives your nieces, nephews and grandkids another reason to visit. An 8-minute Uber ride is all that separates you from the restaurant row and retail corridor that is Bell Blvd. Take a tour of global cuisines -- no passport necessary for this United Nations of restaurants. With fare hailing from all corners of the globe, Kyclades, Double Happiness, and The Cuban are among the notables. Bayside to Broadway: A 26-minute ride on the LIRR gets you into Penn Station in time for the Rangers and Knicks games. Season tickets sold separately. The Q28 bus stops steps from your lobby. Fort Totten, Crocheron Park, and Clearview Golf Course cater to your active, outdoor lifestyle. Reach out directly to the listing agent at Sotheby's for an appointment. ###
