12 Hempstead Ave

A four-story, 62-unit pre‑war cooperative completed in 1929, this Rockville Centre property blends Tudor-era character with modern systems. The low-rise massing surrounds two landscaped courtyards and a central, historically restored lobby featuring terrazzo floors, coffered ceilings, stained‑glass windows and a decorative fireplace. Residences are primarily one-bedroom plans with high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, original moldings and arched doorways alongside updated kitchens and baths; many units show features such as cathedral ceilings, crown molding, walk-in closets, eat‑in or galley kitchens with granite or marble counters, and generous entry foyers. Building services and common areas include an elevator, a state-of-the-art fitness center (Peloton-equipped), laundry facilities, bike room, personal caged storage, a private party room and assigned storage lockers in the basement. Practical details include mailbox service and on-site permit parking arrangements; pet policies vary by unit but the building is notable for being among the few pet-friendly co‑ops in the area. Located two blocks from the LIRR and steps from Rockville Centre’s restaurants, shops and transit, the property offers a quiet, walkable village setting with commuter access to New York City.
