Extremely rare & special offering on a landmarked street in Long Island City's highly sought-after Hunters Point Historic District! Gorgeous circa 1881, 16'8" x 36" 2-family house on a 16'8" x 100' lot, with approx. 2,800 square feet of elegant living space comprised of a beautiful lower 2-bedroom, 2-bath duplex with basement and backyard and a lovely upper 2-bedroom, 2-bath duplex. The house is ideally located a block from Murray Park and a block from four subways lines (7/E/M/G), putting you in midtown Manhattan in less than 5 minutes.
Rarely does a townhouse of this caliber, in this charming and coveted historic neighborhood, come to market. Truly a find - perfect for the investor, the buyer seeking an owner duplex with a rental income apartment, or one who envisions creating a fabulous single-family home. (Floor plans for both the 2-family layout and a single-family alternative are available)
In its current configuration, the first-floor duplex entrance opens into a gracious foyer, leading to a lovely living room with decorative fireplace, a full bath, and a kitchen with room for dining and access to the large private backyard. The lower level with a laundry area and boiler room can accommodate a family room, den, home office or third bedroom.
This second level is uniquely laid out with 2 spacious bedrooms: the south-facing master bedroom features a walk-in closet/dressing room, and the second bedroom and bathroom overlook the backyard garden.
The second duplex apartment, entered via the main door and up an interior set of stairs, features a large living room with southern exposure, tasteful crown moldings, original ceiling medallions, a decorative fireplace and other classic details. The roomy kitchen overlooks the backyard and a full bath occupies the third floor.
The fourth floor includes a generously sized master bedroom with abundant natural light, a rear second bedroom, a large walk-in closet and a full bath. Both bedrooms are adorned with decorative fireplaces, one of which can be recommissioned for use.
Set in a historic tree-lined landmark district amid the industrial activity and high-rises of LIC, 45th Ave. has been named one of NYC's best blocks by Time Out New York. The high-stooped, brick, stone, and colorfully painted Italianate rowhouses in this area create a quiet residential enclave that has been lovingly preserved amongst the modern developments surrounding it.

Long Island City | Queens
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.
