Beautifully renovated 2 Bedroom residence in Upper Ditmars. This upper floor unit in Garden Bay Manor Condominium features everything the most discerning buyer may be searching for. There are only two apartments that share the private entrance. This unit has its own staircase which creates the feeling of a private home. It affords you with extra privacy as well as added storage. The fully renovated kitchen features Cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops, a tumbled marble backsplash, Stainless Steel appliances, and recessed lighting. The kitchen was opened to the large living area, but a breakfast bar was created to separate the two spaces. The dining area can easily accommodate a table for eight with room to spare. The oversized bedrooms, each with double wide closets are separated by the bathroom. The sundrenched apartment faces north and south, and the cross breeze is amazing. Perhaps one of the unit’s best features is the approximately 150 square foot private storage room. The storage possibilities are endless and best of all a washer/dryer unit can be installed. The monthly common charges are $581, there is an assessment of $31.00, and the yearly taxes after the abatement are $2,406. There are two bus stops (an express to Manhattan and a local to the “N/W” lines) within a block of the residence, as are The Grand Central Pkwy and BQE. Restaurants, shopping, and great schools are all within a walking distance. The complex is set on park like grounds, the streets are lined with mature trees, and parking is a breeze.
