7259 Shore Rd

A six-story brick cooperative constructed in 1955, this midcentury elevator building contains predominantly studio and one-bedroom units across 132 residences. The massing is typical of postwar residential blocks: a low-rise, well-maintained structure with an internal corridor layout and multiple stair and elevator accesses. Unit interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, updated galley or open-plan kitchens with granite/quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, windowed full bathrooms, generous foyer areas that often double as dining or home-office spaces, ample closet storage including walk-in options, and ceiling fans. Building services include a live-in superintendent and porter, laundry facilities, a storage/bike room (usually with waitlist or modest fee), and 24-hour video surveillance with keyfob access. Outdoors there are landscaped common grounds with seating and BBQ areas and a private courtyard; an attached indoor garage provides resident parking on a wait-list basis. The co-op is pet friendly and reports high owner-occupancy with a mostly owner-managed atmosphere. Located directly on Shore Road, the property fronts the Shore Road Promenade and Botanical Gardens with direct water and park views; public transit (express/local buses, nearby R train and NYC Ferry access) and highway connections are within easy reach. The neighborhood offers parks, waterfront recreation, restaurants and neighborhood retail, supporting a quiet, community-oriented lifestyle with strong outdoor and commuter conveniences.
