48-35 43rd St UNIT 1-B, Queens, NY 11377

This bright one-bedroom apartment has three exposures: north, south and east. From the large entry hall the kitchen is to the right, with enough room for a small table and chairs. Beyond that is the living room with windows facing east and south. The bedroom, with windows facing north and east is off to the left, and the full bath is in-between. The bath is original and the kitchen was updated. Located less than three miles from midtown Manhattan, the Celtic Park Apartments spread across two city blocks that had once been the outdoor home of the Irish-American Athletic Club. Constructed in 1931 and 1937, they were the last development built by the City and Suburban Homes Company. Here, the firm engaged both Ernest Flagg and Springsteen & Goldhammer to design innovative "garden apartments," where the buildings not only have front gardens, but surround beautifully manicured interior gardens. Maintenance fees at Celtic Park include gas and electric, so you pay no utility bills. 20% down is required and subletting is allowed. The buildings are also pet friendly. Celtic Park offers an extensive array of amenities in addition to its gardens: parking, storage, bike storage, laundry facilities, security, and an on-site management office. The apartment is located just three blocks south of Queen Boulevard, and half way between the 40th and 46th Street stops on the 7 train. Close to everything Sunnyside has to offer - shopping, restaurants, schools houses of worship - that small-town feel in the heart of the big city.
