Welcome to The Towers, the largest and finest of all of the landmarked garden apartment complexes located in the Jackson Heights Historic District. From this three bedroom, two bath apartment's front door you enter a spacious foyer and central hall. The foyer leads you to the generously-sized living room with a wood burning fireplace. The living room is immediately adjacent and open to the large formal dining room, and combined they form a magnificent 15'x35' living space. The dining room offers direct access to the spacious kitchen. The roughly 8' by 15' kitchen has excellent "bones" and can be renovated to your liking. Beyond the kitchen is the third bedroom, with its own renovated full bath. The hall then leads you to two more bedrooms and a full bath. Both the master (14'x17') and the second bedroom have two exposures facing the lush interior garden where it is both peaceful and green. The proportions at the Towers are generous, and buildings of this quality are no longer being built. This apartment has 9' ceilings, plaster walls, moldings and oak floors (herringbone parquet in the foyer, living room and dining room). With just two apartments per floor, and built as a fireproof building with cement between each floor, this unit is both private and quiet. Located on the fourth floor, the apartment has four exposures, facing both 80th Street (west) and the lavish interior garden (east), providing light all day long. With the apartment comes the use of a private storage unit in the basement. The Towers was designed by Andrew J. Thomas in 1924, and its eight buildings surround a beautiful formal garden (designed by Noel Chamberlain) with two fountains and a baldacchino. It is also the only garden apartment complex with its very own children's garden/play area at the northern end. This cooperative requires 10% down, is very well maintained and each building has its own laundry facilities. (Note, that a washer & dryer are allowed in the apartment.) The Towers is pet friendly, however, subletting is not allowed. Centrally located in the Jackson Heights Historic District, this building is close to restaurants, shopping, and our weekly Greenmarket that is open year round. And it is just two blocks to the recently expanded and renovated Travers Park. Please call Daniel Karatzas, the listing agent, for an appointment.
