40 Tehama St

A six-story, 1931 elevator co-operative in Kensington, Brooklyn, this pre-war Art Deco walk-up combines classic details with practical shared services across 26 units. Typical residences are one-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, oversized windows, arched doorways and hardwood floors; many homes include large foyers, eat-in kitchens and abundant closet storage. The building’s common areas reflect its vintage character: an original lobby, two recently updated elevators, a live-in superintendent, central laundry in the basement, bike storage, and additional rentable storage cages. Outdoor amenities are notable for neighborhood buildings — a landscaped front garden and an expansive rear courtyard with grilling areas, seating, a small play/dog run zone, and space for container gardening. Operationally, the coop is pet friendly, permits private in-unit washer/dryers, and has relatively low maintenance with occasional temporary assessments tied to capital improvements. Located one block from the F/G Church Avenue station, with nearby bus connections and quick access to Prospect Park and local shops and cafes, the property suits those seeking a quieter, tree-lined block while retaining straightforward transit links to the rest of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
