Property Description for 35-24 78th Street, B-14/B15
This is a rare opportunity to create a magnificent 2200 SF residence at the Berkeley Co-op on a tree-lined street in the historic district of Jackson Heights. Bring your Architect with the idea of combining a 1,000 square foot one bedroom apartment with a former 1,200 square foot two bedroom into an awesome three to four bedroom, two bath home with four exposures.
Enter the one bedroom prewar apartment into a large foyer. Notice the art deco arches, bookcases, crown moldings and high ceilings leading into the rest of the great room. One step up is a dining area and galley kitchen. Consider opening the kitchen onto the living area and adding an island. Next to the dining area is a foyer leading to the primary en suite. There is a dressing room with three closets and a fabulous windowed bathroom with a soaking tub and shower stall. The enormous bedroom has two exposures and a small alcove with a decorative block window.
Leaving the one bedroom, enter the apartment next door. The apartment was originally a two bedroom, converted to a doctor's office. Upon renovation, the unit may be converted back to residential status. The right wall may be opened onto the one bedroom creating an even larger great room. There is plenty of room for three sizeable bedrooms with windows and closets in addition to a study or guest room. Pets are welcome!
The elegant Berkeley Co-op consists of three buildings built in 1937 and 1938. A stunning courtyard garden is tended to by residents on a volunteer basis. Each building has laundry facilities, storage (wait list) and bike rooms. There is currently a new window assessment of $211 monthly. Residents enjoy the Sunday Green market and recently renovated Travis Park within 2 blocks. Local favorites include: 77 Espresso, Lemon Farm, Lety's Bakery & Cafe, Table Wine, Stand Alone Cheese and the Queensboro Restaurant. The subway station hub has 5 subway lines: E/F/M/R/7.

Jackson Heights | Queens
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.
