Enjoy prewar charm in a lovely, secluded garden setting in this gorgeous one-bedroom, one-bathroom home featuring an expansive layout and plentiful storage in a revered Jackson Heights garden cooperative.
Inside this beautiful abode, you'll find the classic details you'd expect from a landmarked prewar home. Tall ceilings rise above wood floors and large windows, while handsome millwork adds an elegant touch. Nestled entirely within the co-op's lush interior garden, the home enjoys a serene ambiance and verdant views throughout. A long gallery entry welcomes you into a spacious corner living room with plenty of room for seating and dining areas under a contemporary ceiling fan. Delightful colored glass-panel doors slide open to reveal an expansive room that's equally well-suited as an oversized home office, media room, dining room, or home gym, featuring another ceiling fan, southern exposures and direct access to the kitchen and foyer. Ahead, the updated kitchen impresses with dark cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher and bottom-freezer refrigerator. Sleep soundly in a king-size corner bedroom with a roomy closet, while the windowed full bathroom offers a large cast-iron tub/shower, contemporary vanity and headknocker cabinet surrounded by classic subway and marble penny tile. Two hall closets complete this special Jackson Heights sanctuary.

Quick Profile
Jackson Heights has one of the most diverse populations in the city, and over 100 languages are spoken here. With this cultural diversity comes supporting restaurants, bars, shops and cultural opportunities. It is a mix of commercial and residential properties. There is a wide range of shops and service businesses, so that anything you would need, from a barber, to a pharmacy, to clothing, and food is available right in the neighborhood, no matter which culture or language you might need these services provided in.
Jackson Heights has three nicknames, based on micro-neighborhoods with the neighborhood as a whole. Little India occupies an area on 74th Street, while parts of 73rd Street are known as Little Pakistan. Little Columbia is along 37th Avenue.
A large portion of Jackson Heights has been designated as an historic district, from Roosevelt Avenue to Northern Boulevard, between the east side of 76th Street to the west side of 88th Street.
Jackson Heights was a planned community, where the first “garden apartments” were created in buildings constructed around central gardens and green spaces that gave neighbors a place to meet and socialize with one another, created places for children to play, allowing light to come into the apartments and air to flow freely through them. These gardens are private and only residents have access to them. Passing by the buildings, you might not even guess the gardens were there, as they are not generally visible from the street.
Additionally, there are some mid-rise apartment buildings. Some of these are rentals, some are co-ops, and some are condos. There are a few attached row houses that provide housing for one to three families.
As much as Jackson Heights might be full of noise and mix of cultures, it also has a quieter side, where the various cultures mix and mingle and learn about each other against a backdrop of beautiful architecture and a culinary landscape that brings the world to Queens.
