Property Description for 21-55 45th Ave
This Civil War era 1861 brick townhouse is located in the Hunters Point Historic District of Long Island City and it was built to stand the test of time. Located on a tree-lined tranquil block, this 3 story plus windowed basement home sits on a 18x100 lot and measures approximately 2,350 sqf, plus a basement of over 800 sf. With three exposures, N/S/E and period details including soaring ceilings, large doorways and original brick work, this home is the antithesis of new cookie cutter construction. Entry is through a double door entryway where you are met by an original stair, a side hall and a grand front facing Living Room. On the same floor we find the dining room with garden view and original stained glass windows, a sunny eat-in kitchen with garden access and a bathroom. On the second floor there are three bedrooms, a large bathroom and a kitchenette. The top floor has a front facing bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a large garden view bedroom and an additional office space and center bath. The full height basement with back yard access completes the interior. The outdoor space includes a large and vast garden and front patio. There is the potential for building additional decking overlooking the garden on both the second and third floors. This townhouse block is located by the E/M/7 & G trains in Court Square /LIC. Walk to everything, shopping, museums (PS1) and the waterfront.

Quick Profile
Long Island City, the name does sound a little far away, like it requires a lengthy drive to get to. Think, again. Long Island City, also known as LIC, is nestled in the western corner of Queens along the East River. Midtown Manhattan is closer to Long Island City than it is to downtown Manhattan.
LIC is bordered by Sunnyside to the east, the East River to the west, Astoria to the north, and Newton Creek which separates Queens from Greenpoint Brooklyn to the south.
A once-shabby manufacturing epicenter, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential. In recent years it’s seen a rise in some seriously cool factors. Populated by young professionals, multi-ethnic immigrants, and hipsters, LIC has a happening nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants (some of them Michelin starred), art museums and galleries. Much of the waterfront access has been redeveloped into sustainable public green spaces with modern design.
Although much of the industrial / manufacturing companies have since left LIC, many still reside there. They tend to co-exist with new residential building development the same way they do in other neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Office building developers and business tenants play a vital role in LIC too. It’s considered New York City’s fourth central business district next to Midtown, downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.
As you traverse the streets of LIC, you’ll notice the change from block to block. Industrial warehouses on one block, a bustling Main Street, followed by a park block with sleek luxury high-rise buildings. It’s all part of the LIC vibe.
For a small neighborhood, the transportation links are excellent. For starters, you just can’t beat living one subway stop from Manhattan (7 train). Other train lines include E, M, R, N, Q, and the G lines. There are also less conventional methods of transportation like the NYC Ferry, which offers three ferry landings. There is no shortage of CitiBike’s in LIC either. Many folks commute to work by way of cycling over the Queensboro Bridge.
