Description

Wrapping all four exposures of the iconic Towers, this grand four-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends historic charm with timeless elegance. With generously scaled rooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and exquisite original details throughout, this residence offers rare space, light, and character in one of the most coveted co-ops. Upon entering the gracious foyer, you're welcomed into a sprawling living room featuring oversized windows and a beautifully preserved wood-burning fireplace — a striking focal point that anchors the space. The room easily accommodates both a grand piano and ample seating, creating the perfect setting for sophisticated entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. The adjacent formal dining room is equally impressive, with dual exposures and direct access to a butler’s pantry leading to the windowed, stone-countered kitchen. Outfitted with a double-drawer dishwasher and abundant cabinetry, the kitchen balances practicality with classic design. The home’s four garden-facing bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat, each offering charming views of the historic grounds. The primary suite features an en-suite bathroom, generous closet space, and custom-built-ins for added convenience and elegance. Throughout the home, original hardwood floors and decorative moldings have been lovingly preserved and enhanced with hand-applied Venetian plaster walls — luxuriously smooth to the touch. All bathrooms have been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated. Additionally, the co-op provides each apartment with a storage room. Built in 1923-25 and designed by Andrew J. Thomas, this complex was once home to film icons like Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock, The Towers is perhaps the most iconic and sought-after building in Jackson Heights. It exhibits all the elements that set the precedent for further development in Jackson Heights, with features such as a massive private garden, ornate architectural and sculptural elements, iron and glass double doors with fanlights, stone trim at the towers, and the celebrated stone griffons flanking its iron gates. The Towers is a U-shaped structure comprised of eight buildings that span an entire city block on 34th Avenue, with its wings spanning all the way to Northern Boulevard. It encases some of the largest apartments in Jackson Heights, complete with fireplaces, high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, massive windows, and more. It has a live-in super, laundry facilities, elevators, storage, and is pet friendly. As you would expect based on its prime location, the building is within striking distance of all local amenities and all forms of transportation, including the Roosevelt Avenue express hub. This is a complete package of a rare NYC home, which we are excited to bring to the market. Showings are by appointment only. Call the listing agent to schedule! ...
