This spacious and bright 1,394 sq.ft. convertible 3-BR home is now available at The Solarium, Long Island City's first green-certified condominium.

The apartment, currently configured as a 2-BR/2-BA, enjoys an abundance of natural light and views of open sky from its oversized windows overlooking the neighborhood, Manhattan, and the Queensboro/59th Street Bridge. The welcoming, grand living room, dining room, and the adjacent 96 sq.ft. balcony offers the perfect space for entertaining.

The offset bedrooms afford maximum privacy. The king-sized master bedroom along with its generous en suite bathroom and cavernous custom built walk-in closet combine to create your private retreat. The kitchen's Energy Star stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, Caesarstone countertops, and imported Italian tiles complete the upscale experience. LG washer/dryer included.

No attention to detail was spared in this special residence. The many upgrades, including a Toto Washlet, custom storage and organization solutions by transFORM and Shelf Genie, and motorized, remote-controlled window treatments, are as elegant as they are functional. For convenience and enjoyment, every room in the home is appointed with touch-sensitive dimmers to control the recessed lighting as well as multi-zone, motion-activated thermostats, and an integrated, wireless NFC and Bluetooth-compatible sound system.

Bamboo floors throughout add a warm and inviting feel. The sale includes two deeded secure storage units. A deeded parking spot is available for separate purchase.

Solarium is just two blocks from the subway - one stop to Grand Central! It is less than two blocks to the East River and gorgeous waterfront parks with playgrounds, ball courts, dog run, cafes, and access to the East River Ferry. The location of this building is prime.

There is also a rooftop projection screen for movie nights. A 421-A, 15-year tax abatement is in place until June 30th, 2027.
