Elegant Three-Bedroom, Two-Bath Co-op at The Chateau in Jackson HeightsThis reimagined three-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Chateau—a landmark 1922 cooperative in the heart of the Jackson Heights Historic District—seamlessly blends pre-war grandeur with thoughtful modern updates. Originally a four-bedroom, three-bath layout, this gracious home has been redesigned for expansive living, elevated functionality, and timeless style.The sun-drenched living room features a stately wood-burning fireplace, unique wrought-iron railing with a brass pineapple finial, and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. Classic pre-war details abound, including nine-foot ceilings, original checkerboard parquet floors with walnut inlay, intricate woodwork, and elegant moldings. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, and a custom French door opens into the renovated kitchen. Outfitted with white custom cabinetry, gray granite countertops, brass pulls, and stainless-steel appliances—including a microwave over the cook range—the kitchen also includes a spacious walk-in butler’s pantry for added storage and prep space. The former maid’s quarters, featuring floor-to-ceiling honey-toned wood paneling, an original Murphy bed, and built-in bookcases, now serves as a flexible space ideal for a home office, den, or guest room. The adjacent bathroom was absorbed into the expanded primary suite, creating a generous en suite with a fully tiled stall shower and a built-in hamper. The primary bedroom is a serene and spacious retreat, enhanced by the removal of a dividing wall that once separated two bedrooms. This oversized suite now features custom twin floor-to-ceiling armoires and two additional walk-in closets, providing an abundance of storage. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized, maintaining the home’s sense of scale and proportion.Residents of The Chateau enjoy access to a beautifully landscaped private interior garden with patio seating, free private storage, on-site laundry facilities, and attentive building maintenance.
