Description

Spectacular! A beautifully restored and renovated home in the sought after Towers in the Landmarked district of Jackson Heights. 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large, windowed chef's kitchen including a DCS range, Bosch Axxis W/D, and brand new Miele dishwasher, with unique wood flooring salvaged from the deck of a boat (knots and all!), plus pass-thru to the formal dining room with restored wood floors - perfect for entertaining.

Bask in the massive open-plan living room, framed by gorgeous, oversized windows. Enjoy the wood-burning fireplace and recessed lighting. Some other notable details in this well-appointed pre-war classic include: built-in cabinetry, oak floors, unique coffered and dormer ceilings, a gorgeous mantel, picture railing throughout, a Juliet balcony, and 12 windows with serene views of the tremendous tranquil garden and its beautifully cast griffins.

The three large bedrooms all highlight garden apartment living at its best. Of special note, the primary bedroom's southwest exposure receives beautiful light filtering through the garden's trees outside the windows. It also boasts an en-suite bathroom and a new wall-length, custom-designed closet. Many little details, like small carvings on the window sills, show how much this place has been loved. Even better, this apartment easily accommodates conversion back to the original 4 bedroom, 3 bath floor plan.

Thoughtful plantings (including many native plants) greet you as you enter the atrium to the building and turn left into your apartment's private-style entrance. This apartment virtually stands alone, with no walls abutting other apartments and four exposures.

Other qualities of this architectural marvel, designed by Andrew J Thomas circa 1924, are the villa-like hallways and Italianate tile, the massive garden with fountains, a baldacchino, quaint sitting areas for resting and reading a good book, and a separate children's play area. Fun Fact: Andrew J Thomas loved the Towers so much, he actually lived in one of the buildings.

The Towers are composed of eight buildings, each with a U-shaped structure, with the magnificent garden at its center. Management on site and live-in superintendent, laundry in building, private storage included with apartment, and pet friendly. This building is close to all local amenities including Travers Park, the Jackson Heights Farmers market, amazing restaurants, and an array of grocery stores and other shopping. The Q32 bus drops you in front of your door and takes you to the Roosevelt Ave. Express hub (E, F, M, R, and 7 trains). Just 3 express stops to Manhattan. Call, text, or email me for a private showing of this exclusive co-op.

Jackson Heights is a landmarked planned community originally built in the early 1900s, featuring prewar garden cooperatives with interior courtyards that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Approximately 80% of the housing stock consists of co-ops, with the remainder split among attached single-family homes, multi-family row houses, and detached residences, all served by the 7, E, F, M, and R trains at the Roosevelt Avenue hub. Travers Park provides green space, and the commercial corridors along Roosevelt Avenue and 37th Avenue anchor the neighborhood's retail activity.
