Top-Floor Two-Bedroom with Classic Prewar Charm and Renovated Kitchen and Bathroom

Perched on the top floor of Laburnum Court, this beautifully maintained, move-in-ready two-bedroom, one-bathroom home combines timeless prewar character with thoughtful modern updates. With four exposures, the apartment enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day, along with lovely western views overlooking the building’s private garden.

Located in the Jackson Heights Historic District, the apartment showcases the architectural details that make these celebrated prewar cooperatives so special: high ceilings, original hardwood parquet floors, plaster walls, original doorknobs, picture rails, transom windows, and classic moldings.

Layout
The gracious entry foyer offers plenty of room for a sideboard or a comfortable home office setup. From here, the apartment opens into an expansive living and dining area, anchored by a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bookshelves. Large east- and south-facing windows bring in wonderful natural light, while the formal dining area easily accommodates a full-size dining table and flows seamlessly into the renovated kitchen.

Kitchen
The spacious, windowed kitchen is a standout feature, thoughtfully renovated with grey KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, a Kohler cast-iron sink, and Italian porcelain floor tile by Marco Corona. A vent-a-hood range hood completes the space, along with a Miele dishwasher and Bosch French-door, counter-depth refrigerator with ice maker. Storage is exceptionally well considered, with a full-height utility closet and a former dumbwaiter converted into a convenient closet for larger appliances.

Bedrooms & Bath
A glass-paneled door separates the living and entertaining spaces from the bedroom wing, creating a sense of privacy and quiet. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and face west toward the peaceful internal garden. The primary bedroom is outfitted with IKEA PAX wardrobes, providing excellent additional storage.

The windowed bathroom features classic subway tile, a quartz countertop, Kohler faucet, and Toto toilet with bidet seat.
