Prime location, this remarkable and rarely available, this extraordinary furnished and turnkey 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cooperative residence at The Towers (Architect: Andrew Thomas) offers an extraordinary combination of scale, architectural detail, history, and location. One of the most prominent and recognizable pre-war buildings in Jackson Heights, The Towers is celebrated for its distinctive architecture and beautifully landscaped private garden. Originally configured as the rear portion of a grand seven-room apartment, the residence was divided during the Great Depression, creating a remarkably unique floor plan that remains evident today. The result is a sprawling and highly individual home with an elegant sense of separation between living, sleeping, and ancillary spaces. Enter through a gracious foyer and proceed down the apartment's elongated central hallway, which serves as the architectural spine of the home and creates a wonderful sense of depth and discovery. Throughout, you'll find an impressive collection of original pre-war details, including high ceilings, classic crown moldings, beautiful oak flooring, an original built-in bookcase, custom cabinetry, and exquisite woodwork. The living and bedroom areas are surrounded by oversized windows and three exposures, filling the apartment with natural light and offering lovely views of The Towers' lush private garden. The generous living room provides an inviting gathering space and features an impressive caddy-corner electric marble fireplace with an exquisite mantel, adding a dramatic architectural focal point to the room. The windowed galley kitchen offers abundant storage with distinctive two-tone cabinetry, a dishwasher, and a window that brings in generous natural light. With its practical layout and ample cabinetry, the kitchen provides an excellent opportunity for maximum usage. The primary bedroom is generous in size and is accessed through a private en-suite bathroom, creating a comfortable and secluded retreat. The spacious second bedroom is conveniently positioned adjacent to the main living area and offers excellent flexibility for a bedroom, guest room or child's room - a plethora of uses! Adding to the apartment's versatility is a charming additional extra space currently configured with a daybed and work/office station. This flexible space leads directly into the second bathroom. The apartment's unusual history, generous proportions, abundant windows, three exposures, and wealth of original craftsmanship make it a truly distinctive Jackson Heights residence. It offers an opportunity to live in a home that retains the architectural character of another era while providing the space and flexibility sought. Residents of The Towers enjoy one of Jackson Heights' most appealing residential settings, including a block-long private interior garden that provides a peaceful landscaped oasis in the heart of the neighborhood. The grounds also feature a children's playground, creating an especially welcoming environment for residents of all ages. The building offers a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, storage, and a pet-friendly policy. The location is equally impressive.
