Welcome to Hampton Court, an original garden apartment development in Historic Jackson Heights. Perched on the second floor, this four-room apartment measures over 800 square feet, and has ten windows facing only the gorgeous interior garden. The three exposures - east north and south - allow for light all day long. From the entry foyer there are two closets and a bathroom to your right. Continuing straight ahead, down the hall, brings you to the kitchen on your left and a bedroom to your right. Then you come to the living and dining rooms. Each room is roughly 12'x15' and form an "L" with six windows and three sun-filled exposures! The apartment needs some TLC, but the bones are there and it is priced accordingly. In addition to the fantastic light, you will find abundant prewar charm and character, including 9' ceilings, plaster walls, moldings and oak floors. This is a walkup building. Hampton Court, designed in a Georgian style by George H. Wells in 1921, is comprised of eleven buildings (each a separate cooperative) that surround one of the loveliest interior gardens in the Historic District. This building is well maintained and managed, with laundry facilities and a free storage bin located in the basement. Live-in janitor. 25% down is required and there is a reasonable monthly maintenance. Subletting, smoking, and dogs are not allowed.
