This beautiful English Garden Home, built in 1935, is located on one of the prettiest blocks in the coveted Historic District of Jackson Heights. Not only is this home beautiful, the owners have renovated extensively. The front of the house boasts a delightful rose garden and mature cherry tree, and through the front door is an inviting living room with fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The adjacent formal dining room is meticulously renovated with refurbished floors and new crown and baseboard moldings. The updated kitchen--with new stainless steel appliances and new tiled floors--leads to the paved back patio with parking and a small garage which is used for storage. From the kitchen, there's a stairway to the freshly-painted basement with half bathroom, new LG large-capacity washer and dryer, and new boiler and hot water heater. On the second floor are the main bedroom, family room (which can be divided into two bedrooms), and full bathroom. Finally, on the third floor are the third and fourth bedrooms, a tastefully renovated full bathroom, and a spacious multi-season closet. Additional upgrades include: plumbing (on the interior and to city main line), replacement of historically appropriate copper gutters as needed, and periodic inspection/replacement of slate roof tiles. The home is 1600 square feet on the first and second floors, with an additional 400 square feet of living space on the third floor. There is sunny east and west light exposure and the charming, multi-paned windows offer views of the surrounding greenery. This home offers so much--a lovely location, abundant charm, and a substantial list of upgrades that add to the home's value and longevity. Jackson Heights is a famously multicultural neighborhood offering historic homes at a fraction of the price of other boroughs. There is a large selection of schools (district 30), 7/E/F/M/R trains for a quick commute to Manhattan, diverse restaurants, and a year-round farmer's market.
