Property Description for 35-21 79th Street, 6-K

Immaculately renovated with the finest finishes and architectural imagination, this rare, top-floor, one-bedroom will have your attention the moment you enter. The welcoming foyer offers an immediate look into the sunlit living space framed by wide windows. You will then be captured by the pristine hardwood floors, laid over a sound-reducing subfloor. Skim-coated walls are smooth to the touch and are framed with custom molding. The original floor plan has been reconfigured into a massive open-concept living space, bathing in natural light. Windows overlook the building’s private garden, while also enjoying views of open skies as this home towers over neighboring buildings. No detail was overlooked in creating this editorial-worthy, open-concept kitchen offering top-of-the-line appliances, high-end finishes, and a true designer’s vision. The island seats plenty and has added storage. The living room has designated dining and lounge areas while offering plentiful floor space. The corner bedroom offers a view of the garden, as well as massive custom closets. The spa-like bath has been outfitted with the finest finishes in exquisite taste. Less prominent but worthy details include hard-wired cable lines, updated electric, new radiator covers, sturdy curtain rods, a chalk wall in the foyer, closet storage systems, high-end doors, quality window shades, light fixtures, and the sub-layer of flooring for built-in privacy accentuate and complete this package of an ideal turn-key home. Recently updated with a new interior, new elevators, and a laundry room, the Monroe was erected in 1948 to the designs of William Hohauser. Centrally located in the Jackson Heights Historic District on a serene, tree-lined street, this property offers a prime location with convenient access to restaurants, shops, the farmer’s market, and Travers Park. It is also just a short distance from the Roosevelt Transit Hub. Amenities include a private garden, bike storage, laundry facilities, a live-in super, and pet-friendly accommodations. Subletting is permitted with board approval. Showings are by appointment, call to schedule.

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.
