Welcome to The Illinois, an established mid-century cooperative offering an exceptional blend of comfort, convenience, and lifestyle in the heart of Forest Hills. Residents enjoy a beautifully renovated mid-century modern lobby, a landscaped courtyard with seating areas, a playground, updated laundry facilities, a virtual doorman system, package room, an on-site superintendent, storage (subject to availability), new windows throughout the building, rooftop solar panels, and EV charging stations in the garage (waitlist). Tucked away in the quiet rear corner of the building, this inviting one-bedroom apartment offers a thoughtfully designed layout that provides a peaceful sense of privacy while remaining just moments from everything Forest Hills has to offer. Northeast and northwest exposures fill the home with natural light, while the kitchen enjoys a pleasant view of mature trees. Handsome wood floors flow throughout, complemented by a kitchen featuring ceiling-height cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and generous storage. The well-maintained bathroom includes a newer vanity and bathtub, and recent window air conditioners add to the home's comfort. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully improved over time, this move-in-ready home offers the opportunity to enjoy immediately or personalize to your own style. Perfectly positioned just one block from local and express bus service, with nearby subway lines, the LIRR, Austin Street, and an outstanding selection of cafes, restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences. Monthly maintenance is all-inclusive, covering electricity, cooking gas, heat, water, and real estate taxes. Some listing photographs have been virtually staged to illustrate the home's potential.
