10 Holder Place

Brick, stone accents and a pronounced Tudor composition connect the building to the surrounding Gardens streetscape. Original promotional material emphasized steel casement windows. The courtyard creates inward-facing exposures and a planted outlook for apartments on that side of the building.

The residential inventory includes sizable one-bedroom homes, two-bedrooms with formal dining rooms and larger three-bedroom layouts. Foyers, windowed kitchens, high or beamed ceilings and substantial closets recur. Some homes have garden-facing bedrooms while their principal living rooms face in another direction.

Large apartments can exceed 2,000 square feet and include multiple bathrooms, formal dining rooms and separate sunrooms. Smaller homes preserve some of the same prewar room divisions on a reduced footprint. The original penthouses add another layout type to the building.

Fireplaces appear in selected apartments, with some described as decorative. They're an architectural feature, not permission to use them. Individual renovations have also changed kitchen arrangements and the connection between dining rooms and living rooms.

The elevator, central laundry facilities and storage serve a building of fewer than 50 residences. The landscaped courtyard and garden form common property, creating a recurring maintenance obligation as well as a shared outdoor amenity. Garden-facing windows are part of the appeal of the inward-facing layouts.

The cooperative operates within Forest Hills Gardens, where private-street access and parking follow neighborhood rules. An apartment purchase should be distinguished from a separately granted right to park on those streets. The short distance to the Forest Hills LIRR station is a further practical aspect of the address.

The building's tax lot is Class 2 and has no identified development abatement. Its built floor area exceeds the present R3-2 residential allowance, reflecting the substantial apartment house that already occupies this low-rise zoning district.

Financing: Up to 75%, implying at least 25% down — confirm with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $713/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 5.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.
