Historic Grandeur Meets Modern Refinement at The Chateau Nestled in the heart of the Jackson Heights Historic District, this exquisite three-bedroom, two-bath residence is located in The Chateau, a distinguished cooperative built in 1922. Once a gracious four-bedroom, three-bath home, this exceptional apartment has been thoughtfully reimagined to combine expansive living with timeless elegance and comfort. Step into a luminous living room where a stately wood-burning fireplace becomes the centerpiece, accented by a wrought-iron railing crowned with a brass pineapple finial. Natural light cascades through oversized windows, highlighting soaring 9-foot ceilings, original checkerboard parquet floors with walnut inlay, intricate woodwork, and classic moldings throughout. The formal dining room effortlessly accommodates both intimate dinners and grand gatherings. A custom French door leads into the beautifully renovated kitchen, where white custom cabinetry is paired with soft gray granite countertops, brass hardware, and a suite of stainless-steel appliances—including a microwave set above the cook range—for a seamless blend of function and style. Adjacent to the kitchen, a walk-in butler’s pantry provides additional storage and preparation space, elevating the home’s functionality and elegance. The former maid’s quarters offer a unique and flexible retreat, featuring floor-to-ceiling honey-toned wood paneling, original Murphy bed, and built-in bookcases—perfect as a home office, den, or guest suite. The adjacent full bath, once part of the maid's wing, has been absorbed into an expanded en suite in the primary bedroom. This elegant bath includes a fully tiled separate stall shower, a built-in hamper, and sophisticated upgrades that enhance its comfort and utility. The primary suite itself is a true haven. Created by merging two former bedrooms, it now spans an impressive footprint, featuring twin floor-to-ceiling custom armoires and two additional walk-in closets, offering an abundance of smart storage solutions. Residents of The Chateau enjoy access to a lush, private interior garden with patio seating—an idyllic escape from the city's energy. Additional amenities include free private storage, on-site laundry facilities, and attentive building maintenance. Please note that subletting is not permitted. This home requires a minimum 30% down payment. Monthly maintenance is $1,091.84, with an ongoing capital improvement assessment of $200 per month. A 1% flip tax, payable by the buyer, applies. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, lovingly updated for modern living, in one of New York City’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods.
