35-41 76th St. #1

Welcome to Hawthorne Court, Jackson Heights living at its finest. This two-bedroom, two-bath garden apartment has three exposures, east, west and north, for light all day long. The living and dining rooms form a combined 13’ by 30’ living space framed by windows on both ends. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace in your living-room and a gracious windowed view from your dining room into the professionally maintained garden. The sunroom, or second bedroom, is separated by French doors which can be left open to create a 47’ expansive living space. For the first time in my 15 years serving Historic Jackson Heights, this sunroom has its original Murphy bed – which operates as easily and efficiently as it did in 1922! The quiet sunroom features three pairs of windows that open out to the beautifully landscaped central portion of the Hawthorne Court garden. In addition to its full bath, the sunroom also a large closet/dressing area shared with the Murphy bed.

Adjacent to the living and dining rooms are the kitchen, large master bedroom, and a full bath. The apartment is located on the first floor and it has lovely prewar details including 9’ ceilings, plaster walls, oak-strip floors, and original moldings. The former owners lived here for decades, and as the photographs attest, the apartment needs to be renovated. As such, it has been priced to allow the buyers to make the subsequent investment in the renovation and have a home just the way they envisioned it.

Hawthorne Court was designed in 1922 for the Queensboro Corporation by George H. Wells, and its 14 landmarked buildings (each a separate cooperative) surround a one of the largest interior gardens in the Jackson Heights Historic District. This well maintained building has laundry facilities and free storage bins in the basement. The cooperative requires 25% down. Subletting is not allowed, nor are dogs. Centrally located in Jackson Heights, this building is close to restaurants, shopping, our weekly Greenmarket, and only four blocks to the 74th Street/Roosevelt Avenue train and bus station. Please call the listing agent, Daniel Karatzas for an appointment.
