Od trenutka kada prođete kroz vrata, jasno je da ovo nije tipičan stan prije rata. Ovaj dom je potpuno i brižno renoviran, spajajući bezvremensku arhitektonsku šarm i moderan dizajn s funkcionalnošću za svakodnevni život.

Velikodušni ulazni hodnik vas dočekuje — trenutno uređen kao mudroom i prostor za ostavljanje stvari — nudi nevjerojatnu fleksibilnost i prvotno je zamišljen kao walk-in ormar, koji se lako može pretvoriti nazad ako želite. Odmah postavlja ton: pametan, praktičan i prekrasno dovršen.

Od tamo, raspored se prirodno otvara u srce doma. Tlocrt je namjerno revidiran kako bi se stvorio neprekidni protok između prostorija, dok se istovremeno održavaju jasni, dobro proporcionalni prostori - nešto što je rijetko postignuto u rasporedima prije rata. Izvorni zavodljivi otvori oblikuju svaku tranziciju, dodajući šarm i arhitektonsku mekoću dok vas nesmetano vode iz jednog prostora u drugi.

Blagovaonica se doima kao prava prostorija, a ne kao naknadna misao; udobno stavljajući puni stol za šest ispod upečatljive svjetiljke iz sredine stoljeća. Bez obzira na to radi li se o svakodnevnim večerama ili okupljanju s prijateljima i blagdanskim proslavama, ovaj prostor je osmišljen za korištenje i uživanje.

Iza toga, dnevni boravak se širi u prostrani, svijetli prostor za okupljanje s sunčanim južnim i istočnim izloženostima. Proporcija lako smješta veliki kutni kauč, više područja za sjedenje i prilagođene ugradbene elemente bez osjećaja pretrpanosti. Ugradna rasvjeta, obloženi stropovi, slike obrubljene letvicama, zidovi s tankim slojem žbuke i prekrasni izvorni drveni podovi s klasičnim umetkom stvaraju savršenu ravnotežu predratne elegancije i moderne dotjeranosti. Prilagođene police dodaju i toplinu i funkcionalnost, dajući sobi njegovani, proživljeni sofisticirani izgled.

Kuhinja je pravi biser i san za svakoga tko voli kuhati. Potpuno preuređena, sadrži prilagođene elemente, quartz radne ploče s obje strane za maksimalan prostor za pripremu hrane i obilje skladišnog prostora, rijetko viđeno u gradskim stanovima, uključujući prilagođenu smočnicu. Bar za doručak nudi neformalno sjedenje i održava prostor povezanim s dnevnim i blagovaonskim područjima, čineći ga idealnim za zabavu. Aparati od nehrđajućeg čelika, hladnjak za vino, oblaganje zidova s keramičkim pločicama i promišljena rasvjeta upotpunjuju ovaj prekrasan, a ipak vrlo praktičan radni prostor.

Kupaonica se doima više poput spa hotela nego tipične kupaonice u stanu. Odvojeni tuš s staklenim zidom sadrži podove i zidove od mramorne mozaik pločica te tuš s kišom montiranim na strop. Tu je umivaonik na postolju, moderne sanitarije i grijač ručnika, kao i kadu s tuš sustavom s dva tuša, stvarajući mirno, luksuzno utočište na kraju dana.

Obje spavaće sobe su prostrane i promišljeno odvojene od prostora za zabavu. Glavna spavaća soba je doista izvanredna, prostrana i spokojna, s tri prozora koji nude višestruku izloženost i prekrasnu svjetlost tijekom dana. Ima dovoljno prostora za krevet veličine king, sjedeće garniture i dodatni namještaj, zajedno s dva velika ormara za izvrsno skladištenje. Druga spavaća soba lako može funkcionirati kao gostinjska soba, dječja ili kućni ured s vlastitim dedicated ormarom.

Throughout the home, no detail has been overlooked: new doors with sleek nickel hardware, custom roller shades, new baseboards, refined millwork, skim-coated walls and ceilings, and cohesive finishes that make everything feel intentional and move-in ready.

Osim samog stana, The Madison je dobro održavana zgrada s dizalom koja nudi upravitelja koji živi na licu mjesta, praonicu, privatno skladište i lijepo uređen zajednički vrt. Samo nekoliko trenutaka od Travers Parka, Paseo Parka i nedjeljnog zelenog tržišta, kafića u susjedstvu, lokacija nudi savršenu kombinaciju svakodnevne pogodnosti i pravog šarma zajednice Jackson Heights. Zgrada je prijateljska prema kućnim ljubimcima, dopušta ograničeno podnajmljivanje, a mjesečno održavanje iznosi 1,238 dolara. Rezultat je rijetka, dom s pravom predratnom dušom, modernim udobnostima i rasporedom koji jednostavno ima smisla. Elegantno.

From the moment you walk through the door, it’s clear this is not your typical prewar apartment. This home has been completely and thoughtfully renovated, blending timeless architectural charm with modern design and everyday functionality.

A gracious entry foyer welcomes you in — currently styled as a mudroom and drop zone — offering incredible flexibility and originally designed as a walk-in closet, easily converted back if desired. It sets the tone immediately: smart, practical, and beautifully finished.

From there, the layout opens naturally into the heart of the home. The floorplan was intentionally reworked to create a seamless flow between rooms while still maintaining distinct, well-proportioned spaces- something rarely achieved in prewar layouts. Original archways frame each transition, adding charm and architectural softness while guiding you effortlessly from one space to the next.

The dining area feels like a true room, not an afterthought; comfortably fitting a full table for six beneath a striking mid-century modern fixture. Whether it’s everyday dinners or hosting friends and holidays, this space was designed to be used and enjoyed.

Just beyond, the living room unfolds into an oversized, light-filled gathering space with sunny southern and eastern exposures. The proportion easily accommodates a large sectional, multiple seating areas, and custom built-ins without ever feeling crowded. Recessed lighting, coved ceilings, picture moldings, skim-coated walls, and stunning original hardwood floors with classic inlay create that perfect balance of prewar elegance and modern polish. Custom bookshelves add both warmth and function, giving the room a curated, lived-in sophistication.

The kitchen is a true standout and a dream for anyone who loves to cook. Completely reimagined, it features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops on both sides for maximum prep space, and an abundance of storage rarely found in city apartments, including a custom pantry. A breakfast bar provides casual seating and keeps the space connected to the living and dining areas, making it ideal for entertaining. Stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, subway tile backsplash, and thoughtful lighting complete this beautiful yet highly practical workspace.

The bathroom feels more like a boutique hotel spa than a typical apartment bath. The separate glass-enclosed shower features marble mosaic floors and walls, and a ceiling-mounted rainwaterfall showerhead. There is a pedestal sink, modern fixtures, and a heated towel bar, as well as a soaking tub with a dual-head shower system, creating a calm, luxurious retreat at the end of the day.

Both bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully separated from the entertaining spaces. The principal bedroom is truly exceptional, oversized and serene, with three windows offering multiple exposures and beautiful light throughout the day. There’s plenty of room for a king bed, seating, and additional furniture, along with two large closets for excellent storage. The second bedroom easily functions as a guest room, nursery, or home office with its own dedicated closet.

Throughout the home, no detail has been overlooked: new doors with sleek nickel hardware, custom roller shades, new baseboards, refined millwork, skim-coated walls and ceilings, and cohesive finishes that make everything feel intentional and move-in ready.

Beyond the apartment itself, The Madison is a well-maintained elevator cooperative offering a live-in superintendent, laundry room, private storage, and a beautifully landscaped shared garden. Just moments from Travers Park, Paseo Park, and the Sunday Greenmarket, neighborhood cafés, the location offers the perfect blend of everyday convenience and true Jackson Heights community charm. The building is pet-friendly, allows limited subletting, and the monthly maintenance is $1,238.The result is rare, a home with real prewar soul, modern comfort, and a layout that simply makes sense.
