Property Description for 2-40 51st Ave, 1-E

Open House: 12:30 to 1:30pm, Saturday 3/16!

This luxurious and bright 2BR/2.5BA townhouse-style duplex w/a private terrace at The Foundry Condominium is for sale! With a grand living/dining space on the first floor that includes 17-ft. ceilings, oversized windows, and a spacious and open layout that is perfect for entertaining, Unit #1E is fully renovated and is one of the most beautiful and elegant units on the market. Even better, it has a nearly 400 sq.ft. private outdoor terrace, where one can relax, cook, and entertain. With two different entrances to the unit-one from within the condo building and one directly from the sidewalk in a townhouse-style entrance-this is one of the most convenient apartments you will find. Parking spot available for additional price.

No attention to details was spared in the upgrades and renovations the owners completed throughout this 1,333 sq.ft. unit. The kitchen boasts a gorgeous new Caesarstone countertop just two years old, as well as updated Brizo faucets, Kohler stainless steel sink, and new garbage disposal and microwave. The Viking six-burner stove, Bosch dishwasher, excellent storage, and added accent lighting rounds out this fantastic high-end kitchen. Even the powder room on the first floor was upgraded just two years ago, with a Toto toilet, Cle tile (wall and slate floor), and stylish Rebecca Atwood wallpaper. Additionally, the Elfa storage in the pantry under the stairs and in the coat closet create functionality and organization in this spectacular space.

Upstairs, both extremely large bedrooms include upgraded ceiling fans, as well as custom California Closets, with the primary bedroom boasting a sizeable and coveted walk-in closet. Both bathrooms on the 2nd floor were meticulously renovated just two years ago with new vanities, Brizo faucets and shower fixtures, Corian quartz countertops, Schoolhouse Electric fixtures, Silent Panasonic bathroom fans, and Toto toilets. Fireclay handmade tiles were used for the walls, as well as Q-Stone quartzite style (porcelain) for the floor tiles. The new design in the primary bathroom created even more storage, and the 2nd bathroom boasts a deep-soaking Kohler tub. Additionally, there are modern lighting upgrades throughout the apartment, including the living room, hallways, and bathrooms.

The Foundry's amenities include concierge services, a state-of-the-art fitness room, and a common roof deck. The building's location cannot be beat, just minutes to the subway and one subway stop to Grand Central in Manhattan on the 7 train. Located in the heart of Hunters Point, this home is just minutes to the peaceful haven of LIC's waterfront park w/playgrounds, ferry access, and a new state-of-the-art library. Long Island City is one of the hottest neighborhoods in NYC, and restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and MoMA's P.S. 1 are nearby. Schedule a showing today!

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.
