Description

A rare opportunity to own a landmarked 1920s brick townhouse in the heart of the Jackson Heights Historic District, offered for the first time in over half a century. Homes like this rarely become available, not simply because of their scale, but because of the sense of permanence and architectural integrity they carry so effortlessly.

Spanning more than 2,000 square feet across three full floors, with an additional 650 on the lower level below, the home unfolds with proportions that feel both substantial and easy to live in. The main floor is grounded by a gracious living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, and oversized windows overlooking the tree-lined street. Beyond it, a formal dining room creates a natural setting for gathering, while the windowed eat-in kitchen connects comfortably to the rhythm of daily life and looks out toward the garden beyond. The layout is intuitive in the way only older homes of this era tend to be, where each room feels distinct yet connected.

Upstairs, the home’s flexibility becomes immediately apparent. The second floor is anchored by an exceptionally large primary bedroom, alongside an additional bedroom and a full vintage bath. The top floor mirrors that sense of practicality with two more bedrooms and another full bathroom, creating a layout that adapts easily to guests, work-from-home needs, or long-term multigenerational living. Both bathrooms are windowed and retain the kind of thoughtful design details increasingly difficult to find today.

Throughout the house, the original architectural character remains beautifully intact: high ceilings, plaster walls, classic moldings, solid wood doors, original hardwood floors, and an abundance of closets rarely seen in homes of this period. Eastern and western exposures bring changing light throughout the day, giving the interiors a warmth and balance that feels grounded and lived in.

The full basement adds another layer of functionality, offering high ceilings, direct access to the driveway, and access to the elevated rear garden beyond. The outdoor space feels genuinely private and full of potential, while the attached one-car garage and additional parking space provide a level of convenience that is exceptionally rare within the neighborhood.

Positioned on one of Jackson Heights’ most picturesque tree-lined blocks, moments from Travers Park, Paseo Park, the Sunday Greenmarket, beloved local restaurants, and the E, F, M, R, and 7 trains, this is a home that reflects the very best of the neighborhood: architectural beauty, community, and enduring character.

This is more than simply a townhouse. It is a home that has been cared for, preserved, and lived in over generations. And now, for the first time in decades, it is ready for its next chapter. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
