Why buy someone else’s renovation, when you can do your own? This bright one-bedroom Celtic Park apartment is in need of a total renovation and is priced so that you can have it “your way,” rather than someone else’s. The unit has charming prewar details and two exposures: north and east. From the entry hall the kitchen is to the right, with enough room for a table and chairs. Beyond that is the living room with two windows facing east. Down the hall is the bedroom, with windows facing east and north, along with the bathroom. The coop has addressed some prior leaks into the apartment, however, cosmetic work is needed along with a new kitchen and bath. Located less than three miles from midtown Manhattan, the apartments at Celtic Park spread across two city blocks that had once been the outdoor home of the Irish-American Athletic Club. Constructed in 1931 and 1937, these innovative “garden apartments” 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 after two years of occupancy. No flip tax. 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, gym, 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.
