The Chateau is a sought-after complex consisting of a dozen beautiful brick buildings — each operating as an individual co-op — surrounded by a newly renovated interior garden and manicured landscaping along 80th and 81st streets. Designed by Andrew J. Thomas in 1922, the apartment houses feature lovely French Renaissance style with slate mansard roofs, Flemish bond brick façades and stately limestone entryways. Residents of 34-48 81st Street enjoy live-in superintendent service, basement storage, laundry, and the privacy of just two apartments per floor. The pet-friendly building allows 75% financing. No subletting. This desirable Jackson Heights Historic District location is less than a block from Paseo Park — the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street featuring a permanent pedestrian plaza, wide bike lanes and community events. Travers Park provides a playground, sports courts and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. Enjoy 37th Avenue shopping and abundant international dining destinations, plus world-class recreation and entertainment at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Tennis Center, Citi Field and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex.
