This rare corner unit on the first floor of the historic Shellball building features an outstanding combination of location and amenities, making it a truly unique find. Enter the unit up three steps from the lobby, giving it an elevated feel well above street level. Numerous windows (all replaced in the last five years) overlook the building's lush landscaping and offer privacy from the street. Once inside, enjoy an extremely spacious living room and bedroom with 9-foot ceilings and gleaming original hardwood floors. The bathroom was gut-renovated in 2024, and the unit's kitchen is also fully renovated with granite countertops, 2024 stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, and a large eat-in area featuring an arched steel casement window (one of only two in the building). Multiple large-sized closets provide ample storage. The Shellball is an exceptionally well-maintained classic prewar building with amenities including a laundry room, two elevators, storage lockers, bike room, a live-in super, and a pet-friendly, flexible sublet policy. Situated in the heart of Kew Gardens, you are next door to the historic Kew Gardens cinema and just steps away from restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques, retail stores, express subway lines (E, F), Forest Park, and the LIRR. Be in Manhattan in 16 minutes via the LIRR just one block away.
