1289 E 19Th St

A low-rise prewar cooperative constructed in 1931, this three-story elevator building sits in Midwood, Brooklyn. The property houses studio and one-bedroom apartment types—several listings note larger one-bedrooms that can be converted to two-bedrooms—each often featuring original parquet or hardwood floors, windowed eat-in kitchens, and generous closet space. Common elements include a maintained elevator bank, a live-in superintendent, and modest monthly maintenance fees; the co-op governance permits subletting from the first day in many units and occasionally allows sponsor sales with no board approval. Exteriors reflect restrained prewar masonry proportions typical of the era, set on a residential, tree-lined street near Avenue M and East 19th Street. The building’s scale and configuration favor a quieter, neighborhood-oriented lifestyle with street-level retail and transit options—multiple bus routes and the Q subway line are within a short walk. Parking is typical of the neighborhood (on-street or nearby garages); pet and additional service policies vary by unit and the co-op board. Overall, the property presents a well-kept, classic prewar atmosphere with practical urban conveniences and flexible occupancy rules.
