About This Home

Welcome to Meadowlark Gardens, a beautifully maintained garden-style cooperative community in the heart of Fresh Meadows. This bright, south-facing second-floor one-bedroom residence offers a comfortable and functional layout with wall-to-wall carpeting and tile flooring throughout. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, ample storage, and the convenience of an in-unit washer, a highly desirable feature rarely found in many co-op communities. A separate dining alcove flows seamlessly into a spacious living room filled with natural light. The generously sized primary bedroom includes a large closet and comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed with additional furnishings. The renovated bathroom features classic subway tile finishes, creating a clean and timeless look. Residents enjoy Meadowlark Gardens' beautifully landscaped courtyard setting, common laundry facilities, and community amenities. Garage parking with EV charging is available for rent at $140/month (short waiting list), and storage lockers are available for an additional fee. Monthly maintenance includes heat, water, and cooking gas (electricity not included). Subletting is permitted after one year of owner occupancy, subject to board approval, and guarantors are allowed. Conveniently located near Cunningham Park, shopping, restaurants, and transportation, including the Q76, Q88, QM5, QM8, and QM35 bus lines, offering easy access throughout Queens and Manhattan. A wonderful opportunity to own in one of Fresh Meadows' most established and sought-after garden cooperative communities.
