A rare opportunity to own one of the largest and most beautifully designed homes in the Jackson Heights Historic District. This three-story Georgian-style brick townhouse, attached on only one side, built in 1927, has five bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a powder room, formal living room with working fireplace, formal dining room and a modern, industrial-style kitchen. The house has a raised portico entryway, fencing surrounding the house width, a small deck and is lushly landscaped. A short outdoor stairway leads to the garage and outdoor parking for five additional cars. There is full-sized, semi-finished basement, the rear portion at grade, containing laundry facilities and a pantry.
Restored to reflect the 1920's period mixture of Georgian and Art Deco elegance, this pre-war gem has 9' ceilings, a magnificent cherry and stone fireplace, and an extraordinary level of original detail: the windows are original and restored with storm windows throughout, the floors are oak and walnut, there are ebony-stained doors, crystal door knobs with brass hardware, moldings, and a restored oak staircase leading to the second and third floors. Hand-blown glass light fixtures, reproductions of 19th century lantern lights, can be found throughout the house
The main floor of the house is spacious and perfect for entertaining. Surrounded by 12 wrap-around windows, the living room and dining room are entered through matched French doors off the main foyer where the Art Deco-inspired powder room is situated. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances including a Dacor stove and venting hood, 36' Liebherr refrigerator, a dishwasher, and microwave oven. Under-counter cabinets are also stainless steel with, handles to match appliances. Countertops are continuous white quartz, with matching backsplash. Above are translucent glass cabinets that light from above. Cove ceilings were erected to match, and pendant chrome beehive-style lights bejewel the space.
All five bedrooms are located on the second and third floors and are graced with abundant closets and space. The master bedroom is on the second floor and is almost as large as the living room, spanning the width of the townhouse and designed with his-and-hers closet. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor.
The third floor has a skylight to bring light to the staircase and it houses two bedrooms and a large walk-in storage room. The front bedroom is currently used as a studio and it is the same size as the living room and master bedroom beneath it and has angled ceilings. The fifth bedroom is stunning offering lovely views thanks to five large windows that face two directions.
Each floor features an elegantly restored Art Deco-inspired full bathroom to match the style of the original bathrooms with large scale ceramic tile wainscot, Carrara marble accent details, and large-scale alabaster floor tiles. French doors open to an ample linen closet. The Restoration Hardware vanity, toilet, and medicine cabinet match the original ebony wood doors. The original cast iron soaking bathtubs were retained, and professionally reglazed.
A unique, historically restored home of this quality is rarely available.
