82-40 Austin St

A mid-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1953, this low-rise residential building contains primarily one- and two-bedroom units configured for practical everyday living. Interiors commonly feature eat-in kitchens or open kitchens, formal dining or living/dining combinations, hardwood flooring, high ceilings and built-in pantries; several units include first-floor bedrooms and master-downstairs layouts. Windows appear in most rooms, including kitchens and bathrooms, so natural light is a recurring interior trait. Shared building elements include an entrance foyer, elevator access, a staffed mailbox area and a laundry room in the basement. Parking is limited and managed via an on-site garage with an assigned-spot waitlist in some cases. The property is pet-friendly for cats and generally described as well maintained with relatively low maintenance charges; some units have been fully renovated with modern appliances and stone counters while others retain original details and may need updating. Located on Austin Street in Kew Gardens, the building sits within walking distance of shops, restaurants, parks and schools, and offers straightforward commuter options: nearby Q10 bus service to JFK, LIRR access and close E/F subway lines, making it convenient for both city and suburban commutes.
