From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Welcome home to this beautifully proportioned Junior Four in one of Sunnysides beloved prewar co-ops. Meticulously maintained with oversized rooms, this flexible home offers the space and separation that are increasingly hard to find in New York City. A gracious foyer opens into an expansive living room, while the sprawling separate dining area provides plenty of space for a substantial dining table, entertaining, or a home office. The windowed kitchen features high-quality Blomberg and Bosch appliances, including a full-size dishwasher. Both bedrooms are generously sized, with the primary bedroom particularly impressive in scale. The apartment's windows face away from the avenue, creating a quiet, private atmosphere that feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the city. 47-20 42nd Street is a well-maintained prewar co-op featuring classic architectural details, an elevator, live-in superintendent, on-site laundry, and storage available to residents on a waitlist basis. The building offers a genuine sense of community while retaining the character and gracious proportions that make prewar homes so desirable. The location puts the best of Sunnyside right outside your door. You're just steps from the 7 train at 40th Street, with Midtown easily accessible while home remains peaceful and residential. Thomas P. Noonan Playground is directly across the street, while Sunnyside Gardens, the Sunnyside Arch, Lou Lodati Park, and Thalia Spanish Theatre are all nearby. And, of course, there's the food. Enjoy neighborhood favorites including SoleLuna, The Alcove, The Kasbah Caf, Fuyu Ramen and Sake, and Philomena's Pizza, along with convenient grocery options like SuperFresh right outside the building, Green Valley Marketplace, and HMart. With space to live, room to grow, and the best of Sunnyside outside your door, #3A is the kind of home that gives you options, and makes you want to stay.
