Description

Put your personal stamp on this lovely three-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op combining an expansive, flexible floor plan with prewar architectural details at The Towers, one of the grandest of Jackson Heights' famed garden complexes. In-unit washer-dryers are permitted. Inside this approximately 1,350-square-foot Classic Six, spacious sun-kissed interiors are filled with tall coved ceilings, inlaid herringbone hardwood floors and large six-over-six windows on all four exposures. An oversized foyer with a coat closet makes a warm welcome. Ahead, the sprawling open-plan living and dining rooms create a perfect backdrop for relaxing and entertaining alongside treetop views and a stunning wood-burning fireplace. The windowed eat-in kitchen is ready for your updates, providing a generous footprint for abundant cabinetry, appliances and a breakfast nook. Down the hallway, two king-size bedrooms with roomy closets and double exposures occupy the eastern wing, while a smaller third bedroom — perfect as a home office, nursery or guest room — includes an en suite bath that could be updated to maximize the space. A second full bathroom with a sunny window, large tub/shower and classic prewar tile completes this Jackson Heights haven. The legendary Towers is a block-long enclave of handsome brick buildings wrapped in manicured landscaping, lush gated passageways and a spectacular interior garden with fountains. Designed in 1923 with stunning Romanesque and Renaissance influences by notable architect Andrew J. Thomas, the pet-friendly co-op provides on-site management and maintenance staff, laundry in each building, private storage and a children's play area. In-unit washer-dryers are permitted. Sorry, no subletting. From this outstanding Jackson Heights Historic District location, you're just inches from the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street, including a permanent pedestrian plaza and wide bike lanes. Two blocks away, renovated Travers Park offers a playground, sports courts and a year-round greenmarket. Enjoy outstanding shopping, dining, nightlife and entertainment venues and easy access to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA tennis center, CitiField and the recently announced New York City FC soccer stadium. Transportation is effortless with F/M, E, R and 7 trains, excellent bus service, the BQE and LaGuardia Airport all nearby.

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.
