1199 E 53Rd St

A seven-story cooperative completed in 1965, this mid‑rise Kings Village property contains one- through three-bedroom residences arranged across conventional elevator-serviced floors. Architecture is straightforward mid‑century masonry with regular fenestration and modest balconies or small private terraces on select units. Interiors typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, formal living and dining areas, eat‑in or galley kitchens with granite counters and stainless steel appliances in renovated units, and generous closet storage including walk‑ins; some layouts include first‑floor bedrooms and ensuite baths. Shared building infrastructure includes elevators, on‑site laundry rooms, a part‑time doorman/24‑hour surveillance presence, a building maintenance crew, storage rental, and a keyless intercom entry system. Parking is available for a monthly fee with a short wait list and street parking nearby; utilities such as heat and hot water are covered in maintenance. The coop’s governance allows high-leverage purchases (financing up to 90%) but enforces board approval, occupant residency requirements, no-pet rules, and restrictions on co-purchasing; subletting is permitted after a residency period. Located in Flatlands/Old Mill Basin near Kings Plaza, Georgetown shopping and multiple bus lines, the building offers easy access to retail, transit and the Belt Parkway.
