Live the elegant life in the renowned National Historic Register Landmarked Willow Court North, in the heart of the Historic District of Jackson Heights. The current owner loves living here, but is leaving the country. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see an apartment that otherwise wouldn't be on the market. Looking for the perfect Grand Era 1916 home, in captivating condition? With Monthly Maintenance so low it looks like a typo?! See this unique sun-lit 1 BR (easily convertible to two bedrooms/with a home office) soon, before it sells. This “move-in ready,” one-of-a-kind Historic Gem is offered for the second time in 50 years. Impeccably and lovingly “gut-renovated,” without removing any of the historic details, this home features a modern kitchen and bath, refinished white-oak/maple floors, skim-coated walls and 9-foot high ceilings, as well as original details like coved ceilings, french doors, delightful corner hall closet, and a stained-glass window. It includes three closets, two original overhead storage units, and three ceiling fans. The windows are new, and the unique dining-room stained-glass window was professionally restored to its past glory. The kitchen and bath were rebuilt, with new plumbing and upgraded electric. Wrapped on three sides — East, North, and West — by eight large windows, this welcoming apartment sits in the back of the building, off the street. It’s serenely peaceful. It looks out over the rooftops of St. Joan of Arc Church, bathed in day-long sunlight. Willow Court North is a well-maintained Landmarked 109-year old Historic Jackson Heights coop; a walkup with marble walls and steps, and four large stained-glass windows on every landing. Sitting on the fourth floor of this 20-unit, boutique co-op, this apartment has low monthly maintenance of only $646, which includes all costs except gas, electric, and cable. This charming apartment features: Foyer: Enter your apartment from the marble and stained-glassed hallway, through the welcoming foyer, where an original corner closet will catch your eye. Living Room: As you turn the corner, to the right is your full-sized living room, with two large East-facing windows, ceiling fan, masterfully refinished oak and maple floors, coved-ceiling, and an opening to the separate dining room. Dining Room: Sitting beyond the living room, the Dining Room features two large East-facing windows, an eye-catching Stained-glass window facing North, separate spacious closet, coved-ceiling with fan, and a french door to the kitchen/hallway. (If you add doors, this becomes a second bedroom or work-from-home office.) Eat-in kitchen: Graced with ample counter space, North and West exposures, and windowed spot for a table, renovated from the studs out two years ago, with new waterproof flooring, and high-end GE appliances including a five-burner stove top and convection oven, energy-star refrigerator, and enameled sensor microwave. The counter-tops are fine Italian quartz, the back-splash modern white “brick” tiles, the custom cabinets solid wood. And there is ample room for a table for three in front of the larger window. Bedroom: Off of the Hallway opposite the living room sits the quiet, West-facing bedroom. Complete with ceiling fan, and large three-doored built-in closet, the room can accommodate a king-sized bed and bedroom suite of furniture. The Bathroom: Renovated “down to the studs,” with all new plumbing. Its original large soaking tub is now updated with modern tiled sides, and the room is walled with white “brick,” and octagonal floor tiles. A large storage unit in the basement is included with this co-op, at no extra charge. The building features a quiet courtyard where you can bask in the historic majesty of this 109 year old building. Situated in the heart of the Jackson Heights Landmarked Historic District, this co-op boasts a Walk-Score of 99, and Transit-Score of 100! Sorry no dogs; cats only.
