Description

Nestled in the heart of Astoria, The Concord stands as the crown jewel of cooperative living, celebrated for its timeless elegance, lush landscaping, and architectural charm. Perched on the top floor, this beautifully redesigned 2.5-room residence is an exceptionally rare find. This spacious studio lives more like a one-bedroom, offering scale, craftsmanship, and character that are nearly impossible to duplicate. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that blends thoughtful design, historic detailing, and modern sophistication, all within one of the neighborhood’s most coveted buildings. From the moment you enter, the home unfolds with generous proportions and graceful prewar lines. A wide foyer welcomes you with arched openings, solid wood doors, and rich hardwood floors, setting the tone for the elegance found throughout. The foyer is large enough to function as a reading nook, home office, or additional seating area, an element of versatility seldom found in today’s layouts. The living area is airy and inviting, thoughtfully proportioned to accommodate distinct living and sleeping areas. Crown moldings, recessed lighting, and warm wood floors enhance the sense of openness, while custom built-in shelving adds architectural interest and practical display space. The room easily accommodates both a full living area and a separate sleeping area, reflecting the spaciousness of a true one-bedroom home. The windowed eat-in kitchen is beautifully appointed with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, full-height storage, and a suite of stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher and gas range. Tiled floors and a stone backsplash complete the room, creating a warm, inviting space with exceptional functionality. The bathroom continues the theme of classic refinement, featuring full wall tile, a beautifully carved vanity, a deep soaking tub with a sliding glass enclosure, and a window that brings natural light into the space. Every detail, from the moldings to the archways to the layout, speaks to a residence crafted with care and preserved with integrity. A true gem for the discerning buyer, this top-floor home offers tranquility, light, and enduring architectural beauty, paired with modern conveniences and thoughtful updates that make daily living effortless. This unit can also be purchased in conjunction with the adjacent unit, potentially combined to create a truly extraordinary and unique 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath apartment with approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of living space.
