36 Cathedral Ave

A midcentury, six-story co-op complex built in 1957 offering primarily one- and two-bedroom apartments. The masonry low-rise presents a quietly landscaped campus with mature flowering gardens, shaded walkways and gated entry. Units vary from first-floor layouts with cathedral ceilings and master-downstairs configurations to upper-level “penthouse” plans with expansive sunset views; many apartments feature oak hardwood floors beneath carpeting, eat-in kitchens, granite counters, ceiling fans, chandeliers and generous closet/storage space. Common elements emphasize practical comforts: an elevator (supported by a generator for outages), interior mail, laundry and trash rooms, a renovated lobby with intercom entry, and recently upgraded windows in some units. Building services include on-site trash and mailbox facilities, assigned parking availability in the complex, and exterior gas grills adjacent to garden areas. The co-op board requires approval and a minimum 10% down in some listings; pet policy commonly allows cats but prohibits dogs. Maintenance fees are notable for including property taxes and utilities such as heat and water, producing attractive tax-deduction effects for shareholders. Situated near the West Hempstead border, the property is close to the LIRR, bus routes, shopping, hospitals, universities, parkways and Long Island beaches, offering a suburban, commuter-focused lifestyle with well-maintained communal grounds.
