34-41 78TH Street #1A

IIF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VALUE PURCHASE, THIS APARTMENT IS PRICED $64,000 LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE 2 BR/1 BA IN JACKSON HEIGHTS! This inviting, subtly renovated 2 BR/1 BA is located in Dunolly Gardens, a friendly community of buildings with the largest interior garden in Jackson Heights' historic district. There are sunny southern and eastern exposures, high ceilings, and newly-finished hardwood floors throughout. Upon entering, you will find a gracious foyer presently used as an office space. The large, cleverly renovated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, gray slate floors, marble countertops, a pretty ceramic backsplash, and white cabinetry with plenty of storage. The renovated bathroom has a marble, basket-weave floor, wainscoting, and double vanities. Conveniently facing the living room and both bedrooms is the jewel of Dunolly, its interior, gated garden. The bright, roomy primary bedroom has a spacious closet and the 2nd bedroom, with its own ample storage space, faces a historic tree gifted by Mayor LaGuardia. More about the garden! In these challenging times, it offers a private, park-like space with flower-lined walking paths, benches, and tables for dining, socializing, or working from home. There's also a Children's Garden, where kids learn to grow herbs and care for plants. Less than a block away is a newly renovated public park with courts for tennis, basketball, and handball, as well as multiple playgrounds. Also right on the corner is 34th Avenue, a verdant, pedestrian avenue which runs from 69th to 94th Streets, and has been a joy for locals. A short walk away is extensive food shopping, an array of public schools (district 30), and the nearby subway station, (E/F/M/R/7 trains), which gets you to Manhattan in just 15 minutes. The well-maintained building has laundry, storage, bike storage, a dedicated porter, and two on-site supers and a managing agent. Jackson Heights is a warm community known for its historic garden apartments, multiculturalism, diverse dining options, and now perhaps for its political activism. Come see this well-priced, attractive apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. Showings by appointment.
