A great apartment at the Towers, the largest and finest of all the landmarked garden apartment complexes located in the Jackson Heights Historic District. From this three bedroom, two bath apartment’s front door, you walk into the spacious foyer and central hall. The foyer leads you to the 15’ by 20’ living room with a cast-stone mantle and wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is the large formal dining room, perfect for gatherings of friends and family. The foyer, living and dining rooms all have herringbone parquet floors. The dining room offers direct access to the spacious kitchen. Many of the original cabinets remain and can be restored to their classic charm. The central hall leads you to the three bedrooms and two full baths. The two largest bedrooms, each with two exposures, face the lush interior garden: both peaceful and green. The primary bedroom is huge, measuring 14’x17’ and has two closets. The second bedroom is spacious, and the third bedroom, closest to the kitchen, has its own renovated full bath. The main bath, accessed from the hallway, is in excellent original condition. 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. 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 fifth floor, the apartment has four exposures, facing both 81st Street (east) and the lavish interior garden (west) and looks onto leafy green trees on every side. With the apartment comes the use of a private storage unit in the basement. The apartment is wired with Verizon Fios. 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, has on-site management, and each building has its laundry facilities. 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, the 34th Avenue “Open Street,” and our weekly Greenmarket that is open year-round. And it is just two blocks from the recently expanded and renovated Travers Park.
