Custom-cabinetry and upgrades are abundant at this 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom duplex condo at the sought-after, full-service Powerhouse building. The current owners extended the original duplex to add space, bringing the usable square footage to 1612 sq. feet. Not only did they add space, but they added smart storage and built-ins in just about every corner of the apartment, keeping in mind the needs of a growing family. The apartment features Nest thermostats, custom window treatments, custom window screens, and A/V wiring amongst other amenities.

The lower level of the duplex offers an open living/dining room with double height windows, allowing the light to pour in. A newly-renovated chef’s kitchen with GE profile, stainless steel, appliances, custom cabinetry and a wine refrigerator ensure for great meals. A full pantry off kitchen provides a plethora of storage options, a hidden washer & dryer and a second beverage refrigerator. Off the living room is the master bedroom with even more built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom. A full guest bathroom completes this floor.

Up the stairs you will find two more rooms and even more thoughtful built-ins. A custom desk with a pocket door to conceal it when not in use, file cabinets, and shelving make this a great work-from-home option. The two rooms upstairs are accessed off of a space currently used a as a playroom, but would also make an ideal game room, den or home office. One room, currently used as child’s bedroom, has an en-suite bathroom and tons of room for toy storage. The second room has French doors and would work well as a guest room, kid’s room, or media room.

The Powerhouse Condos amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, sauna, lounge, business center, children's playroom, cinema room, cold storage for groceries, roof deck with barbecue grills, and more. This pet-friendly building is within minutes of four subway lines: 7, E, M and G, as well as some of Long Island City’s best restaurants and bars. Just one block away is the glorious Gantry State Park, with playgrounds, a fishing pier, a dog run, and unbeatable views of Manhattan. There is a 421a tax abatement until July 2024.
