** Showing by appointment only ** The opportunity to live in a sprawling, seven room apartment in The Towers, Jackson Heights' preeminent garden co-op, is now available. Designed by the renowned architect Andrew J. Thomas and completed in 1924, The Towers embodies the commitment to opulence and uncompromising building standards that are typical of the 1920s. The apartment has been conscientiously updated to combine its period details with modern convenience. Beyond the inviting foyer is a generously proportioned living room and adjoining formal dining room that are well suited to entertaining. The wood burning fire place, which features a large carved stone mantel, creates a luxurious setting. Four large western facing windows draw abundant sunlight. The apartment's uncommon size is further apparent in its four bedrooms, each of which faces away from the street to limit intrusive noise. The large closets easily accommodate large wardrobes. The apartment also boasts two full baths. The kitchen offers enough counter space to prepare large meals and is outfitted with a new Bosch dishwasher. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen cabinets, as well as in the adjacent butler's pantry. Throughout the apartment are beautiful hardwood floors, nine foot ceilings and large windows that contribute to its elegant ambiance. A washer and dryer within the apartment add much appreciated convenience. A basement storage room, which is a perfect place to store bicycles, sports equipment and more, is included. A prized feature of living in the Towers is its verdant interior garden, which is visible from the bedrooms and kitchen. Encompassing nearly an entire city block, it is the largest of all the Jackson Heights garden co-ops. The garden's exterior walls feature iconic stone gryphons that are an emblem of the Jackson Heights Historic District. Within the walls are numerous mature trees and plantings, slate walkways, benches, two fountains and a baldacchino that combine to create a unique respite from the bustle of city life. Adjacent to the garden is a children's play area that features a swing set and ample space to enjoy outdoor activities. * Please note there is a current assessment of $198.94 per month through Jan. 2017.
