Renovated and meticulously maintained one bedroom apartment on the first floor of the fabulous Tilden Arms building. Set back from the street with a unique floorplan. This home does not share a wall with another apartment, nor does it face the LIRR train. The entry hall has a large coat closet & leads to a handsome & functional open living room, complete with built-in Sony laser projector in lieu of a traditional TV. Multiple options for a home office here. Bottom blinds in living and dining rooms leave sunshine in and filter out any street views. Continue on to the dining room and thoughtfully renovated, windowed galley kitchen. Built-ins for all your needs in the dining area with a coffee bar. The kitchen uses the space well: counter depth fridge, double-drawer dishwasher, filtered water spout, convection microwave and full size oven range with five burners. Carrara marble backsplash with Quartz counters. Ultra quiet & energy efficient U-shape Midea Inverter A/C allows the window to open when needed. Bathroom has been renovated with custom casement window box, oak lined heater cover, and generous vanity storage. The bedroom is separate from the rest of the living space & fits a queen or king bed, and boasts custom blinds, a handmade built in closet to add to the existing closet. Warm, timeless hued walls, custom lower millwork through the hallway, accented with stylish lighting fixtures with dimmers throughout make it feel even more like home. East & Northeast exposure. The building borders Forest Hills Gardens (home to Forest Hills Stadium & the West Side Tennis Club) and all the convenience Austin Street has to offer. Part time doorman. Super on site. Pets welcome. Storage, bike storage, laundry in basement. Exterior and common hallways and spaces all have video surveillance. Upgraded buzzer system goes to your phone to remote open from anywhere. No Flip Tax. Low Maintenance in a financially sound coop make this a fabulous find. Minutes from E,F,R,M, & LIRR trains. Close to LGA & JFK. Forest Park and Corona Flushing Meadows are all nearby.
