The Manchester is a six-story, 1941 cooperative occupying a full block on 35th Avenue in the Jackson Heights Historic District. Executed in a prewar idiom and credited to architect Philip Birnbaum, the property displays hallmark period details: high ceilings, crown moldings, sunken living rooms and long, generous layouts. Apartment configurations are predominantly one- and two-bedroom plans with flexible junior-four conversions, windowed kitchens (many updated with granite counters and stainless appliances), formal entry foyers, recessed lighting and well-preserved hardwood floors. Common areas were recently refreshed — a marble-clad foyer and renovated corridors — and residents now have access to a planted roof deck with Manhattan skyline views, on-site laundry, bike storage and building storage. Practical services and operations include elevator access, wheelchair entry, mailbox stations, and a waitlisted indoor garage parking program. The co-op permits pets with board approval (dogs up to 30 lbs.), allows subletting after two years, and applies a flip tax on resale. Located steps from multiple transit lines (7, E, F, M, R) and local buses, it sits amid tree-lined streets, a farmers’ market, parks and neighborhood retail, delivering an urbane, community-oriented lifestyle within a well-maintained prewar residential setting.
