Talbot Apartments

Talbot Apartments is a six-story prewar cooperative built in 1933, comprised of eleven primarily one-bedroom residences arranged over a modest, walkable townhouse-scale block in Kew Gardens, Queens. The building’s exterior retains period character and sits on a tree-lined street close to neighborhood storefronts and transit links. Interiors commonly feature prewar details—high or cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, picture-frame moldings—and many units have been modernized with eat-in kitchens, quartz or granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and renovated bathrooms. Layouts include true one-bedrooms and junior one-bedroom variants with bonus rooms suitable for a home office or nursery. Common areas are practical rather than opulent: an elevator, laundry room, storage room and a live-in superintendent support everyday living. Parking is street-based; the property’s proximity to the LIRR and the E/F subway makes car-free commuting feasible. Policies historically favor investors: immediate subletting is permitted after closing in many units, and some sponsor/resale units have been offered without board approval. Pet rules vary by unit and listing notes occasionally indicate no pets. Overall the building balances period charm with updated kitchens and investor-friendly rules in a convenient, transit-rich neighborhood.
