Pre-War Perfection in Historic Jackson Heights

Spacious and renovated, this pre-war 1 bedroom co-op is in one of Jackson Height’s most coveted buildings, the Berkeley Co-Ops. Overlooking one of the finest interior gardens in Jackson Heights, with views from the living room, bedroom and kitchen, there is also easy access to the patio, making this an exceptionally rare offering.

Period features include original oak floors with mahogany inlay and coved ceilings reaching almost nine feet. The generously proportioned bedroom features his and her closets. There is effortless flow from the kitchen to dining room to living room, offering wonderful opportunities for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen was fully updated with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, under-counter lighting and custom cabinetry for substantial storage space. A seating nook and breakfast bar were also added to take advantage of the beautiful garden views and its quiet mornings. The bathroom was updated with a jacuzzi tub, toto toilet and stall shower. Updated electric system with separate A/C circuits, this unit comes with 2 window A/C units.

Completed in 1937 by Joshua Tabatchnik, the Berkeley was developed in the Neo-Georgian style with three six-story buildings enclosing a beautiful interior garden that spans almost all of 77th St and 78th Street between 35th Ave and 37th Ave. There is a live-in super, a common laundry room, bike room, 24-hour security and the prospect of subletting.

The location is superb. A short 20 commute to Manhattan, it is within walking distance to the 74th St-Roosevelt subway station where you can get on the E/F/M/R/7 trains. It is near your choice or restaurants, cafes and shops along 37th Ave, and the Sunday Farmer’s Market at Traver’s Park (currently under renovation for a community green space). There is an amazing sense of community in both the co-op and neighborhood. Come see how wonderful life could be at 35-24 78th St.
