A Rare Gem with Prewar Charm and Modern Elegance in the Heart of Forest Hills.
This beautifully renovated one-bedroom coop offers over 1,000 square feet of living space on the fifth floor of a charming six-story prewar building. With western exposure, the apartment is bathed in natural sunlight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Inside, classic elegance meets modern design. The expansive living room seamlessly flows into a stylish eat-in kitchen, featuring crisp white cabinetry, a Kohler farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, Rejuvenation Schoolhouse light fixtures, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances.
Custom French barn doors, crafted from red oak, steel, and Flemish glass, add a unique and sophisticated touch.
Throughout the home, original moldings, soaring nine-foot ceilings, arched doorways, and a built-in bookshelf highlight its timeless architectural details. Solid red oak hardwood floors run throughout, enhancing the warmth and charm of the space.
The king-sized bedroom provides two deep closets for ample storage and is complemented by a beautifully designed West Elm light fixture.
The luxurious bathroom offers a spa-like retreat, featuring sleek 12x4 subway tiles, a custom enlarged bathtub, a separate glass-enclosed walk-in shower with Delta fixtures, and a vanity with a quartz countertop.
The Essex is a well-maintained and financially strong cooperative in one of the most desirable locations in Forest Hills. Residents enjoy the convenience of a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, and bike and storage rooms. With a monthly maintenance fee of $1,050, this home provides excellent value.
Located just moments from shopping, dining, express subways, the LIRR, and the vibrant energy of Austin Street, this is a rare opportunity to own a dream home in the heart of Forest Hills.
