The Carol House

The Carol House is a mid-century, 12-story cooperative constructed in 1952 and containing 41 units that range from studios to two- and three-bedroom apartments. The brick-faced structure is served by recently updated common systems including two elevators and a staffed live-in superintendent; building public spaces have seen refreshes such as a renovated lobby. Interiors commonly feature hardwood or parquet floors, oversized windows that maximize daylight, eat-in or windowed kitchens with modernized surfaces (quartz or granite counters), multiple closets and other built-in storage, and layouts that include formal dining or foyer areas in larger units. Shared amenities emphasize everyday convenience: laundry on the lobby level, a bike room, storage options, and an indoor garage with a waiting list. The property is fireproof and soundproof by construction standards of its era. Governance allows subletting after two years, co-purchasing, cats and small dogs with approval, and typical cooperative approval processes. Located in the heart of Rego Park, the building sits close to Rego Center Mall, neighborhood parks, public elementary schools (P.S. 175), and multiple transit options including the R and M trains at 63rd Drive and several bus lines, making daily errands and commuting straightforward for residents.
