42-30 Douglaston Pkwy

Wellesley Gardens is a mid-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1964 that sits within Douglaston’s garden-suburban enclave in Little Neck. The block-long brick building is served by an elevator and features a renovated lobby, corridor upgrades, and a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartment layouts (many with true two-bedroom or corner plans). Units combine original midcentury details—high ceilings, crown molding, built-in cabinetry and foyer space—with contemporary updates such as granite or quartz counters, recessed lighting, modern baths and open kitchen configurations with breakfast bars. Several homes include private outdoor space (balconies or small terraces), ample closet storage including walk-ins and “his and hers” arrangements, and thoughtful built-ins for entertainment and pantry needs. Communal offerings are oriented toward everyday convenience: on-site laundry with a folding room, a resident fitness room, bike and additional building storage, a video intercom/package room system and a managed parking garage with a waitlist. The co-op maintains strict occupancy policies including board approval, limitations on subletting and no-pet rules in many units; a building assessment and membership options to neighborhood clubs (for waterfront docks, beaches and recreational amenities) are part of ownership considerations. Located a short block from the Port Washington LIRR line, the building balances quiet, tree-lined surroundings with quick rail access to Manhattan and nearby neighborhood retail, dining and schools.
