Description
Top-Floor, Renovated, and Filled With Light: Your Starter Home Near the F Train 170-40 Highland Avenue #601, Jamaica Estates If you’re tired of paying rent, this is the one-bedroom that makes owning easy. It sits on the top floor, has been renovated from end to end, and is priced so the monthly cost can come in below what you’re paying a landlord now. Morning sun comes in from two sides. The bedroom wakes up to a wall of triple windows, and with no neighbors overhead, the top floor stays quiet. The kitchen has a window too, with quartz counters, shaker cabinets, a gas range, a dishwasher and a breakfast bar for coffee or a quick dinner. In the evening, switch on the fireplace in the living room and settle in. The bathroom is fully tiled, with a soaking tub and its own window, which you rarely find in the city. Closets and a separate storage nook give you more room than most one-bedrooms. A live-in super and an on-site laundry room handle the day-to-day. The location makes life easier. The F train is about 3 minutes away, the supermarket and Hillside Avenue shops are around the corner, and the Grand Central Parkway and Van Wyck put Manhattan, both airports and Long Island within easy reach. Bring your furniture and move in. Units like this don’t last. Showings by appointment

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
