The space can also be an extra-large loft-like living space that connects to the owner's duplex below. As a one-bedroom it boasts enough space for a king-sized bed with windows overlooking the tree-lined dead-end block, a dining room with a skylight, and a living room with beautiful views of neighboring Queensview Co-op. This lovely community is one of the most prestigious building complexes in Queens, offering a beautiful courtyard and two playgrounds - right across the street.

The garden level also features a dedicated laundry room with a farmhouse sink, and access to the both the front and rear gardens. The back garden comes with a private parking spot, and a heated garage ready to be a workshop or musicians paradise.

The opportunities this home offers are never-ending - even in the outdoor spaces. The front garden sprouts perennials such as lavender, scallions, leeks, ferns, hydrangeas and wild strawberries.
