Property Description

Situated within one of Jackson Heights’ most admired prewar cooperatives, this oversized studio at The Berkeley offers a scale and versatility rarely found in a home of its kind. Thoughtfully proportioned and filled with natural light, it presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy today while offering meaningful potential for tomorrow.

A gracious entry foyer creates a true sense of arrival, with ample space for furnishings, artwork, or a welcoming gallery style entrance. Beyond, a dedicated dressing area is complemented by two substantial closets, including a walk in. Subject to board approval, this dressing room and walk in closet offer the intriguing possibility of being reimagined into an additional room, creating even greater flexibility for the future.

The separate windowed kitchen is bright and functional with excellent storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, a raised alcove introduces another layer of versatility. Whether envisioned as a dining room, library, home office, or sleeping area, it also presents the opportunity to expand the kitchen into a more generous culinary space with board approval.

The main living room is the home’s defining feature. Three oversized bay windows invite eastern light throughout the day, highlighting the apartment’s classic prewar proportions while offering abundant space for distinct living and dining areas without compromise.

The windowed bathroom remains true to the building’s architectural heritage, finished with original black and white tile that reflects the enduring character of the era.

The Berkeley has long been regarded as one of Jackson Heights’ most distinguished prewar cooperatives. Its elegant lobby, beautifully maintained private courtyard, and attentive stewardship create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and timeless. Residents enjoy a live in superintendent, laundry facilities, private storage, bicycle storage, pet friendly policies, and limited subletting after five years of ownership.

Perfectly positioned within the Jackson Heights Historic District, the building is moments from Paseo Park, Travers Park, and the renowned Sunday Greenmarket. An exceptional collection of independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, and neighborhood shops surrounds the property, while the E, F, M, R, and 7 subway lines are approximately a seven minute walk away, placing Midtown Manhattan within easy reach.

This is more than an oversized studio. It is a residence defined by volume, natural light, architectural integrity, and uncommon potential, qualities that become increasingly rare in New York’s most enduring neighborhoods.
