Description

Create your Jackson Heights dream home in this corner two-bedroom, one-bedroom co-op featuring a spacious open layout and wonderful natural light. Located at historic Hampton Court, this nicely maintained residence is a clean slate for your next destination. A gracious foyer introduces handsome hardwood floors, elegant millwork and soaring ceilings. The classic ceiling medallion nods to the home's prewar origins while direct access to the kitchen, a coat closet and living space underscores its convenient layout. Together, the living and dining rooms provide more than 400 square feet for relaxing and entertaining alongside two sets of wide west-facing windows and sunset views. Folding doors connect the dining room to the extra-large windowed kitchen, where rows of wood cabinetry surround full-size appliances. At the rear of the home, two king-size bedrooms enjoy roomy closets and open-sky views, while the full bathroom offers a large tub/shower and an adjacent linen closet. Designed by architect George H. Wells in 1919, The Hampton Court Apartments is a collection of 11 beautiful neo-Georgian red brick and white stone buildings surrounding a lovely central garden. Each walk-up building operates as a separate co-op. Residents of well-maintained 35-55 78th Street enjoy live-in superintendent service, laundry, resident storage and a bike room. Seventy-five percent financing is permitted with board approval. No dogs, smoking or subletting allowed. This desirable Jackson Heights Historic District location is a block-and-a-half from Paseo Park — the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street, including a permanent pedestrian plaza and wide bike lanes. Travers Park provides a playground, sports courts and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. Enjoy easy access to 37th Avenue shopping and abundant international dining destinations, plus world-class recreation and entertainment at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Tennis Center, Citi Field and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex. Nearby 7, E, R, and F/M trains, excellent bus service, the BQE, and LaGuardia Airport provide easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.

Jackson Heights is a landmarked planned community originally built in the early 1900s, featuring prewar garden cooperatives with interior courtyards that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Approximately 80% of the housing stock consists of co-ops, with the remainder split among attached single-family homes, multi-family row houses, and detached residences, all served by the 7, E, F, M, and R trains at the Roosevelt Avenue hub. Travers Park provides green space, and the commercial corridors along Roosevelt Avenue and 37th Avenue anchor the neighborhood's retail activity.
