Property Description for 21-51 45th Ave
All Open House Are By Appointment Only.
This majestic townhouse was built in 1881 and sits in the middle of one of the most historic tree-lined blocks in NYC. It is currently configured as a spacious owner's duplex with a deck, large backyard and a renovated second apartment on the third and fourth floors. Live in one unit and rent the other or easily combine both units into a huge singe-family home. Low taxes makes this very attractive from an expense point of view.
The owner's unit features high ceilings on the parlor floor with large windows and fireplaces in both the living and dining areas. Off the kitchen you will find a 16x14 deck that overlooks the garden patio and provides light, air and blue sky views. The garden level houses two large bedrooms, an office and includes exposed brick and beamed ceilings along with a third fireplace as well as access to the back yard.
The second unit on the top two floors have great light, views and a renovated kitchen with skylight. There are two more fireplaces in the dining and living rooms and two bright and large bedrooms.
The building has been owner occupied and consequently has been very well maintained with a relatively new roof and mechanicals already in place so little to no maintenance should be required. There is a full basement used for storage and available FAR should the new owner want to expand.
Highlights of Hunters Point include a bevy of amazing new restaurants, the LIC waterfront and Gantry State Park's 12 acres of fields, walkways, playgrounds, along with NYC's newest public library, Hunter's Point Library.
21-51 45th Avenue is less than one block from the 7 train at Court Square, and about 1 block from the E, M and G trains. The N, W, and R trains are just a couple of blocks further. The waterfront also has two stops on the NYC Ferry system (Hunters Point South and Long Island City). Drivers can easily reach Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island via the Long Island Expressway, Queens Midtown Tunnel, Ed Koch Queensboro (formerly 59th St) Bridge, and Pulaski Bridge.

Court Square | Queens
Quick Profile
Not that long-ago Court Square was an industrial zone near the Ed Koch / Queensboro Bridge. It was populated by manufacturing warehouses, lumber mills, dive bars and hole in the wall restaurants. Rumbling trains moving along the elevated tracks above added to the grittiness of the neighborhood. Despite its industrial past, it’s seen its share of major growth in recent years especially when it comes to residential construction.
Court Square is a triangular shaped pocket neighborhood of Long Island City and it is bounded by 21st Street to the west, Skillman Avenue to the east, 44th Drive and Thomson Avenue to the north and 49th Avenue to the south.
Its history feels a whole lot simpler compared to some of the other neighborhoods in Queens. Court Square is named after the historic Queens County Courthouse. Built in 1874 the court has tried some of the most important criminal cases in New York. Made out of brick and granite, the two-and-a-half story building was officially designated a landmark in 1976.
Modern day Court Square is a vibrant neighborhood offering a healthy mix of brownstones, contemporary commercial buildings and modern residential buildings of varying sizes. The cool factor may not be at the same levels as select Brooklyn or Manhattan neighborhoods, but Court Square is quickly catching up. Art galleries, breweries, hip eateries, bookstores, and sustainable parks are defining the nabe and drawing in new residents.
You can’t write about Court Square and Long Island City without mentioning the Amazon debacle that went down on Valentine’s Day 2019. Drama ensued when the company withdrew their Headquarters 2 offer at One Court Square. The 50-story building was close to becoming the second headquarters for the American tech giant but the deal fell through. Amazon and New York’s Governor Cuomo, just couldn’t work out the fine details of the deal that included tax breaks and incentives. The heavily politicized event eventually collapsed.
The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Court Square is $1,188,287 with an average price per square foot is $1,544.
The neighborhood has a fantastic transportation hub. Busses, LIRR Trains, and major roadways are easily accessed from Court Square and Long Island City. 7, E, G and M trains are located at the Court Square-23 Street station. And the N, Q , W and 7 trains are located at the Queensboro Plaza station.
