117-14 Union Turnpike

This is a six‑story prewar cooperative constructed in 1923 that reads as a classic low‑rise residential block. Units are predominantly one‑ and two‑bedroom layouts, including larger Classic 6 configurations and occasional maid’s‑room conversions; many apartments feature high ceilings (about nine feet), hardwood floors, eat‑in kitchens, and original details such as molding and substantial entry foyers. The building’s common interior assets include an elevator, laundry room, storage and bike rooms in the basement, and a gated, landscaped central courtyard reached through a distinctive arched entry. Mechanical upgrades and energy measures are in place — notably a solar array and improved insulation — and the coop’s financials are described as stable. Residents benefit from keyless secure lobby entry, rentable storage, and on‑site bicycle storage. There are no formal exterior amenities beyond the gardened courtyard, and parking is not listed as a building feature. The property is pet friendly and positioned directly adjacent to Forest Park, with short walks to multiple transit options (E, F, R trains and the LIRR) plus nearby retail and neighborhood services, offering a blend of suburban greenery and urban access.
