A four-story, 1922-built prewar cooperative complex in Sunnyside characterized by low-rise scale and Art Deco–era details. The masonry façade and gated iron entry open to a landscaped, manicured central courtyard that serves as the building’s exterior focal point. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, several offering high ceilings, oversized windows and hardwood floors; some larger, duplex-style residences and converted three- and four-bedroom plans appear in representative listings. Interior features commonly cited across apartments include eat-in kitchens with granite or marble counters, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, plaster moldings and original period touches alongside modern updates such as stainless steel appliances and in-unit washer/dryer hookups in many homes. Common areas include a ground-floor laundry room, indoor and outdoor bike storage, private storage, and a live-in superintendent. The building operates as a co-op with relatively low maintenance fees, allows pets and subletting in many sponsor units, and is typically described as quiet despite proximity to the elevated 7 train; part-time security and gated entry enhance a feeling of privacy. Located at the corner of 40th Street and Queens Boulevard, the property sits a short walk—often quoted as a quarter block—to Sunnyside’s subway access, neighborhood shops, restaurants, parks and a weekly farmers’ market, offering an urban yet residential lifestyle with easy Manhattan commutes.
