Built in 1939, this six-story prewar residential coop occupies a landscaped parcel in Jamaica (Jamaica Hills). The masonry building contains primarily one-bedroom units arranged around traditional corridors and accessed via a staffed main lobby; features original-era details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, arched openings and formal living/dining configurations alongside renovated kitchens and baths. Common-area elements include a full-time doorman, elevator service, laundry facilities, a fitness room, community/children’s playroom, storage areas and an on-site garage. Several apartments present sunken living rooms, cathedral ceilings, walk-in closets, pantry space and first-floor bedroom/bath options; many units have been updated with granite or quartz counters and modern appliances while retaining moldings and architectural trim. Exterior offerings are modest — a mailbox bank, maintained grounds and limited private outdoor alcoves or terraces for select residences. The building permits pets and subletting after a term, maintains controlled-entry security and proximity to transit, retail, parks and St. John’s University, delivering a stabilized, amenity-supported cooperative living experience in a central Queens neighborhood.
