Architecturally dеsіgned fοr modеrn Νеw York living, thiѕ еlеvаted fіrst floor 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence stands apart within the coveted Elm Court. Conveniently located yet quietly positioned, the apartment enjoys serene garden views and features a layout that balances efficiency, comfort, and considered design. A delicate balance has been achieved between architectural upgrades and the preservation of original details, including beautifully inlaid original flooring and a striking mantle with a fully functioning gas fireplace.

Throughout the home, light-toned finishes and carefully curated details create a sense of openness and warmth, maximizing both form and function. New Marvin Elevate wood-clad windows enhance natural light and sound and energy performance. All windows have custom light filtering, linen Roman shades and the bedrooms include blackout roller shades behind for optimal privacy and light control. In the kitchen, wood slat blinds allow for privacy and light filtering. The kitchen includes an integrated Bosch dishwasher and a dedicated drinking water faucet with a reverse osmosis filter.

Both bathrooms were fully renovated to the studs and include all new plumbing lines, local shut off valves, new aluminum frame windows and top-of-the-line designer features including Dornbracht plumbing fixtures and Toto toilets. The larger bathroom has herringbone porcelain floor tiles, a La Cava solid surface double sink, custom white oak vanity cabinet with ample storage, and a luxury shower over bath complete with hand shower. The small bathroom, with porcelain floor tiles and hand hewn glazed lava stone wall tiles, packs a lot of function in a compact space. Features include an expanded shower with a recessed niche, 2 medicine cabinets, a large Duravit pedestal sink, and a bidet hookup.

The rear bedroom has 2 exposures of oversized casement windows overlooking Elm Court's magnificent private gardens with mature elm tree views. One window was retrofitted to include an AC. There is ample storage, with a large walk-in closet and a gorgeous custom white oak wall unit which frames the garden view and doubles as a functional workstation-an elegant solution for today's work-from-home lifestyle.

The building has a live-in super, is well-maintained, and has made extensive upgrades: solar panels and a new roof were installed in 2019, and the building's electrical capacity was recently upgraded. Each unit has 100 Amps of service available, opening up a variety of options to modernize the apartment. Private basement storage designated to the apartment is included in the maintenance, and there is new shared laundry equipment. The building features a block-long private garden with seating for relaxation or enjoying a good book. Distinctive in both design and placement, this Elm Court residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy architecturally refined garden-level living with modern upgrades in one of Jackson Heights' most desirable prewar communities. The Elm Court is located close to shopping, transportation, Paseo Park and newly renovated Travers Park. There is a weekend farmer's market as well. This is a landmarked building circa 1922, A MUST HAVE!
