8300 Talbot St

A nine-story, 12-unit prewar cooperative constructed in 1928, this Art Deco residence sits in the heart of Kew Gardens and reflects classic early 20th-century apartment-house design. Exteriors carry period massing and decorative detailing typical of the era; the lobby and common corridors retain original motifs alongside updated finishes. Units are predominantly two-bedroom layouts with variations that include larger, house-size conversions and a penthouse with an expansive private roof terrace. Interiors emphasize prewar character: high (often beamed or coffered) ceilings, oversized windows on multiple exposures, hardwood floors, moldings, and roomy formal living and dining areas. Kitchens and baths range from recently renovated, appliance-updated spaces with granite or quartz surfaces to preserved vintage-style rooms; several apartments feature eat-in kitchens, pantry storage, and first-floor bedroom options. Building amenities are modest and resident-focused: elevator service, on-site building management, storage availability, and shared roof access. The cooperative is pet friendly and conveniently located one block from Lefferts Boulevard retail and dining, walking distance to the LIRR, and a short stroll to the E/F express subway and multiple bus routes, supporting easy Midtown commutes and airport connections. Parking is municipal/street-based in the neighborhood; condo-style services such as doorman or valet are not standard. The building’s scale, preserved detailing, and sunny, spacious apartments make it a notable prewar option within a walkable Queens neighborhood.
