Description

Apartment 506 at The Sherwood is a spacious one-bedroom retreat that perfectly captures the prewar charm and airy proportions of Jackson Heights. Located on the 5th floor, this home offers the timeless appeal that defines the neighborhood’s historic architecture: generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings, original hardwood floor, and decorative prewar features such as crown moldings and sunken living room.

The entry foyer opens to an inviting formal dining area framed by a classic archway and built-in bookshelf niche. From here, step down into an expansive 20-foot-long living area that feels both grand and versatile. The windowed kitchen features crisp white soft-close cabinetry, bamboo wood flooring, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and a gas range. A cozy breakfast nook tucked within the kitchen offers the perfect spot for morning coffee - or a nursery or flexible dedicated workspace.

The primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring southern and western exposures that pull in beautiful light. Its generous dimensions easily accommodate a king-sized bed with plenty of room to spare for additional furniture. The windowed bathroom maintains a classic aesthetic with clean subway tiles and modern fixtures. Storage is a major plus throughout the apartment, with multiple deep closets found throughout the floor plan.

Built in 1939, The Sherwood is a handsome, well-maintained brick co-op. Residents benefit from a live-in superintendent, onsite laundry, an updated fitness room, a playroom, and a shared garden - all while enjoying a low monthly maintenance. Storage and bike racks are available at an additional fee and are currently waitlisted. Subletting after two years and up to 80% financing are permitted with board approval. There is no flip tax and no current assessments. Please note, the building has a no-dog policy.

Located alongside the Jackson Heights Historic District, this home is situated on a picturesque tree-lined street just a couple blocks from Travers Park and the year-round Sunday Greenmarket. The neighborhood is celebrated for its incredible dining scene, diverse shopping, and vibrant nightlife. Commuting is effortless with the 7, E, R, and F/M trains nearby, along with quick access to the BQE and free shuttle bus service to LaGuardia Airport. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
