IMPROVED PRICE! Welcome to this home in the garden at the tranquil and sought-after Chateau. A truly unique apartment with a designer renovation makes a statement right from the entry, leaving the world behind. To the left is a large living/dining room with wood burning fireplace, flanked by beautiful built-ins and a home office workspace by the front window. The dining area leads to a handsome updated kitchen with a generous flow, featuring granite counters, a full pantry and all the bells and whistles any chef will appreciate. The living quarters are down the hall to the right of the main entry. On the way, you’ll find a coveted half bath, (unique for this layout in the complex) and a full bathroom with updated shower. The primary bedroom boasts stunning walls and gold sconces along with smart hidden closets, almost invisible until they’re open. The second bedroom, with closet and glass French door, is a great size. Both bedrooms look out onto the coveted, block-long, Chateau garden that recently received a fabulous new update, now just waiting for the spring blooms.

The apartment features meaningful updates like recessed lighting, modernized electrical & plumbing, & classically updated bathrooms. The basement helps you flex with a bonus storage unit (included!), bike storage and laundry. The elevator accesses the basement with a key for added security. This coop is pet friendly and requires 30% down. Very low maintenance for the apartment size, which includes a capital assessment.

The Chateau encompasses a full block of 12 prewar buildings surrounding a beautiful and newly updated shared garden accessible only to residents of the buildings. The location is outstanding, with the pedestrian 34th Ave around the corner, with weekend Farmer’s Market, Travers Park a few blocks away, subways, commerce and shopping, schools and houses of worship all within reach. 20 minutes to midtown Manhattan. 10 minutes to LaGuardia Airport.
