Description

In the fabled Historic District of Jackson Heights, there is one pre-war building that stands above all the others: the Towers, the most iconic building in Jackson Heights. And this four-bedroom, three bathroom home captures all the reasons why! You’ll find an elegant entry foyer that leads to a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a large, windowed galley kitchen complete with butler’s pantry leading to the formal dining room, 9’ ceilings, oversized windows, wood floors with inlays, four garden-facing bedrooms (including an ensuite primary bedroom), and three windowed bathrooms - all offering the living space of yesteryear with modern conveniences. Three exposures provide light and views of the magnificent private Towers garden with its famous griffons, ornate architectural features, lush landscaping and children’s area. The Towers has elevators, a live-in super plus full-time office and building staff, and is pet-friendly. A storage room is included with each apartment. An in-unit washer/dryer is allowed and there are laundry facilities in each building. The building requires a 20% down payment. FIOS is available. Limited subletting is allowed. Built from 1923-25, the Towers was designed by Andrew J. Thomas. It comprises eight buildings that span an entire city block on 34th Avenue and there is one cooperative board to govern them all. The Towers occupies a prime location in Jackson Heights near both Northern Blvd. and the 37th Avenue shopping corridor. Enjoy Paseo Park and Travers Park, which offers a playground, sports courts, and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. World-class recreation and entertainment are also close at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Tennis Center, Citi Field, and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex. Travel options are abundant with nearby 7, E, R, and F/M trains, excellent bus service, the BQE, and LaGuardia Airport, providing easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
