Apartment 622 at The Saybrook offers a design-forward, peaceful retreat high above the Jackson Heights Historic District. Abundant natural light, elegant architectural details, and a curated renovation create a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. In addition to its 2 bedrooms and 1. 5 baths, this home features a versatile bonus room, currently configured as a sunroom/breakfast room, offering endless possibilities as a home office, playroom, guest room, or potential third bedroom. The expansive layout impresses from the moment you step inside, with a 44-foot span from the vestibule to the living room windows. Classic pre-war details - including high ceilings, original moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors - set the tone throughout. The generous entry foyer is lined with three oversized closets, providing exceptional storage and a gracious introduction to the apartment. Beyond, the spacious dining area easily accommodates a large table and is perfectly suited for dinner parties and entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the bright and expansive living room, where a wall of eastern-facing windows frames open views of the surrounding neighborhood. Just off the living room is the gorgeous chef’s kitchen and adjoining breakfast room. Thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen balances modern functionality with the home’s historic character. The sun-filled breakfast nook features built-in shelving and offers a serene setting for morning coffee or a midday break. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, generous in scope and bathed in natural light from both northern and eastern exposures, including a lovely bay window. Ample closet space and an en suite half-bath featuring marble tile and custom wallpaper add both convenience and sophistication. The second bedroom is equally spacious and highly adaptable, offering room for a guest suite, home office, or creative workspace. A large closet, a wall of built-in shelving, and ample space for seating or a desk make this a comfortable and functional retreat. The windowed hall bathroom has been fully renovated with bespoke lighting and fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and custom storage. Residents of The Saybrook enjoy a full suite of amenities, including a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a live-in super, and a beautifully landscaped private outdoor space.
