Description
An elegant pre-war aesthetic lives comfortably alongside modern renovations in this six-room co-op in the sought-after historic district of Jackson Heights. Welcome to Laburnum Court! The third floor apartment offers all the hallmarks of the era: only two apartments per floor, a living room with working woodburning fireplace, formal dining room, two large bedrooms and the coveted “sunroom,” oak floors with mahogany inlay, nine-foot ceilings and moldings, and a shared private garden. Add in the classically renovated kitchen and bathroom and an updated elevator and you have the perfect setting for gracious contemporary living with all the modern conveniences.
A generously-scaled entrance hallway with a deep coat closet is the perfect place to create a gallery of art and storage for all the gear of daily life! It flows into the living room where a wood-burning fireplace with the original wood surround and a black and green marble hearth sits alongside beautiful built-in shelves that can house your library, television and favorite objets d’art. Two adjacent east-facing windows flood the living room with all-day light. Cross the hallway into the formal dining room where another large window overlooks the garden and two sets of French doors open into the fully renovated kitchen, as well as the “sunroom,” a unique feature of this apartment currently painted a warm “Hermes burnt-orange.” This charming room overlooks the garden on two sides with generous windows. It can be used as a small solarium, office, den or even a bedroom. The renovated west-facing kitchen has white appliances along with classic white tilework, cabinetry, and black Basalt counter-tops that ensure it will never go out of style. Two spacious bedrooms and a large, renovated bathroom are situated off the living room behind a door for privacy and quiet. The primary bedroom has two big east-facing windows and a closet, while the secondary bedroom overlooks the garden and is currently used as an office/guest room. The windowed bathroom has beautiful tilework, a waterfall shower with handhelds, a marble sink surround and glass shelving.
The building offers an updated elevator, laundry in the basement, private storage (wait-list), bike storage, and access to a lush private garden for residents only. Live-in Superintendent. 20% down payment required. Subletting is permitted with board approval. Pets allowed with Board approval. Six-month assessment from June-November 2025 of $331.33. Laburnum Court is just off 37th Avenue, Jackson Heights’ main shopping corridor filled with stores, restaurants and services. There is easy access via subways and buses to Manhattan, the airports and Long Island. It is also convenient to local landmarks such as the Sunday greenmarket, Travers Park, and Paseo Park.
