Oversized Studio / Junior-1 with Prewar Charm in Prime Location

Welcome to 3J at The Normandy, a bright and extra-large alcove studio that functions beautifully as a Junior-1. A generous entry foyer transitions into a grand living/sleeping area with room for distinct zones—living, sleeping, dining, and a home office. A Japanese-style shoji sliding partition currently defines the sleeping/office alcove; keep it for privacy or the seller can remove. The separate kitchen offers great storage and prep space, and the windowed full bath completes a smart, classic layout. High ceilings and hardwood floors enhance the airy, elegant feel.

The Normandy is a coveted, full-service co-op known for timeless style and meticulous maintenance. Enjoy a doorman, live-in super with full staff, landscaped grounds, a laundry room with ample machines, and an on-site garage (waitlist).

Unbeatable Forest Hills location: moments to the 71st Ave E/F/M/R subway, express buses, and the LIRR. Trader Joe’s and the Sunday Farmers Market are right across the street, with Austin Street’s shops, dining, cinemas, Forest Hills Stadium, and the West Side Tennis Club all nearby. Zoned to top School District 28 & PS 196 & nearby to many top pre-school & day care options.
