Welcome to 35-50 88th Street, the epitome of an English Garden Home with all of the contemporary conveniences! This light-filled, recently-renovated, house is located in the heart of Jackson Heights’ historic district and features a gorgeous, landscaped front and backyard with patio and a full garage.
A lovely garden frames the walkway to the entrance of this pre-war home which includes an entry vestibule and mudroom, a spacious living room with large windows facing east, a wood-burning fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves, an open plan dining room and kitchen area with windows facing west, plus three large bedrooms on the second floor, two fully renovated bathrooms (one on the second floor, one in the basement), a beautifully renovated powder room on the first floor and a fully finished basement. The house also features new and restored hardwood floors with oak detailing, high ceilings and lovely all day light that filters in from the east to west.
The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops and a breakfast bar with seating for six stools as well as top-of-the-line appliances including a Fisher Paykel refrigerator, professional Bertazzoni gas range with oven/ convection oven, a Bosch dishwasher, a built-in Nutid SS Microwave oven, and Faber range hood. The adjacent dining room, with room to seat eight comfortably, has a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. Enjoy three season al fresco dining in the backyard, which flows nicely from the kitchen out onto the bluestone patio, fully fenced and gated for privacy and safety for children and pets. The back gate and access to garage leads to a quiet common drive, used only by the neighboring houses.
Two of the upstairs bedrooms, including the large master bedroom with room for a California King size bed, have west facing windows over the quiet back patio and garden. The third bedroom has east facing windows with views of tall trees. All the bedrooms have large closets, custom blinds and room for king/ queen-sized beds and dressers. The spa-like full bathroom with bathtub shower has been completely renovated with charming stone and decorative accent tiles that add a whimsical pop of color.
The basement has been completely renovated and serves as a soundproofed music studio for the current owner. It can also be reimagined as a wonderful entertainment center, playroom, or home office with guest bedroom amenities (see alt. image). There is a newly renovated full bathroom with shower and beautiful tile work, new sound isolation double pane basement window, new doors with sound proofing treatment, and two large closets. The basement has its own access to the backyard through a private door. The basement also includes a new laundry room with Samsung front-loading Washer and Dryer complete with storage cabinets and a counter-top on which to fold clothing.
Fully renovated from the basement to top floor between 2015-2021, this stunning home has newly upgraded electrical, plumbing, boiler, hot water heater, central AC (heating and cooling) with split system, gas heat, many new windows, custom blinds and shades on all windows, a new kitchen door, Verizon Fios, one car garage with electric door, outdoor space to park two more cars (parking capability for three cars total), all new gutters, automatic irrigation system in backyard, lovely outdoor lighting on an adjustable automatic timer, and ADT security system. This beautiful home is freshly painted and move-in ready.
The attic, which currently houses the central AC vents in part, runs the full length of the house with eight-foot ceilings, allowing for house expansion potential on the top floor.
Jackson Heights is consistently mentioned among New York City’s top dining destinations. This diverse and vibrant neighborhood is filled with tree-lined streets and pre-war buildings. Multiple express and local train lines serve this community and it is a 20 minute train ride to Manhattan. It also offers easy airport access to La Guardia and JFK Airports. Travers Park and the 34th St Paseo Park add to its outdoor charms, including a weekly farmer’s market offering produce, meat, fish, dairy, wine and flowers from local New York vendors.
