45 Kew Gdns Rd

This is a low-rise prewar co-op in Kew Gardens, NY, built in 1940 and spread over six stories with 27 primarily one-bedroom residences. The exterior retains traditional masonry proportions and modest period detailing; a formal lobby with archways and original trim introduces the building. Units typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchens, generous closets and occasional cathedral or double-height elements; some apartments retain exposed brick and original moldings while others have been modernized with granite counters and updated appliances. Common areas include an elevator, renovated laundry room, bicycle storage, a basement storage room (available via waitlist) and a monitored entry/lobby with video surveillance; a live-in superintendent and on-site porter are referenced in listings. Building maintenance supports new mechanical upgrades recently completed in many units and common systems, including updated boilers, hot water heaters and gas-line work. The co-op is pet friendly, allows subleasing under certain conditions, and provides mailbox and building storage. Located a block from Union Turnpike with immediate access to the E/F subway lines, a short walk to the LIRR, buses to JFK, and nearby shops, theaters, parks and schools, the building suits a commuter-focused, neighborhood-oriented lifestyle.
