THE UNIT: A truly exceptional unit w/ an expansive feel thanks to an oversized floor plan & dreamy layout that deliver ideal flow and max function throughout at approximately 800 square feet.  From the front entrance, step inside to a main foyer fit for a proper entryway set-up that gets you in and out the door w/ everyday ease, comfort and convenience. Go straight ahead to the main living area - or go left and take a central hall w/ closets on either end though the rest of the apartment. A spacious living room w/ ample square footage easily accommodates tv and seating, formal dining and even a 3rd and 4th use such as a home office. An updated, windowed eat-in kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, plentiful cabinetry and counter space, mosaic tile backsplash and most notably, a separate dining area that fits table seating for at least 4 adults (or double breakfast bars perhaps!) - and that also makes for yet another great flex space option. Beyond the kitchen and around a corner, the hall widens to fit a deep bureau w/ east and leads to  a spacious, updated, windowed bath w/ shower/tub combo and tile floors. As a grand finale, enjoy a massive corner bedroom w/ a large closet, dual exposures and all the extra, flexible wall and floor space for multi-function use here as well if you so choose! Other special unit features include charming archways, gorgeous hardwood floors, oversized windows, high ceilings, detailed crown moldings and much more... a wonderful place to call home!  THE BUILDING/LOCATION: The Thomas Edison is a mid-rise, pre-war co-op located along the beloved Austin Street just before Forest Hills meets Kew Gardens near literally all - public transportation (E/F/M/R subway, express & local buses & LIRR,) commerce, entertainment, major highways, parks and much more.
