Step into a piece of Queens history in this serene two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at Hawthorne Court, one of the most celebrated cooperatives in the Jackson Heights Historic District. Designed by George H. Wells in 1922, this Neo-Georgian complex is known for its generous proportions, elegant architectural details, and beautiful landscaped interior garden.
Prewar character is immediately apparent. The welcoming foyer features gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, and crown moldings. Oversized windows in the living and dining areas face east and west, allowing for natural light to fill the rooms throughout the day. The spacious living room is anchored by a marble fireplace, adding warmth and character to the room.
The adjoining dining area offers plenty of space for a large table and additional furniture, making it well suited for both everyday meals and entertaining. It connects seamlessly to the windowed kitchen, which features abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and stainless steel appliances.
The split-bedroom layout provides privacy and flexibility. The generously sized primary bedroom, located in its own separate wing, is equally well proportioned and features a large closet. A full hall bathroom serves this bedroom and is also conveniently located for guests. The second bedroom occupies its own wing and overlooks the garden. With double exposures facing east and south, excellent closet space, and an en-suite bathroom, it is a peaceful and private retreat.
Life at Hawthorne Court extends beyond the apartment to a spectacular, block-long landscaped common garden, a defining feature of Jackson Heights' historic cooperatives. The building is maintained by a live-in superintendent and offers practical amenities including a dedicated storage bin at no additional cost and on-site laundry facilities. Pets are allowed and there is no flip tax.
