Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

TH16 at 78-29 Austin Street already has the daily setup in place: a vented washer and dryer inside the apartment, a dedicated entry closet and a private concierge closet. Each of those has a clear purpose, so the routine chores don't have to share space with the rest of the home.

The custom Scavolini kitchen has quartz countertops and glass upper cabinets with integrated undermount lighting. The Viking package includes an induction cooktop with a Savalo stone hood, a refrigerator, a dishwasher and a microwave, and I like that the cooking and cleanup equipment is matched this way. The kitchen works as part of the living space, which suits a home where you'll cook and host in the same room.

White oak herringbone runs through the main living spaces, and floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows fill the living room. The ceilings reach up to 10 feet, which gives the room a sense of volume that the S20M design takes advantage of. The 155-square-foot private terrace is large enough to use for outdoor dining, which adds a real second room to the apartment.

The primary suite has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with a Porcelanosa vanity, a Robern medicine cabinet, designer wall sconces and a wall-mounted Toto toilet. The second bedroom has ample closet space and a second bathroom. The building has an elevator and a courtyard, and pets are allowed. Kew Gardens-Union Tpke station for the E and F trains is about 4 minutes on foot, and Key Food is about 2 minutes away.
