Property Description for 5-43 48th Ave, 6-C

This spacious and bright 1,394 sq.ft. convertible 3-BR home is now available at The Solarium Condominium in Long Island City!

Currently configured as a 2BR/2BA, this home enjoys an abundance of natural light and open views from its oversized windows overlooking LIC, Manhattan, and the 59th Street Bridge. The grand living/dining room, and its adjacent 96 sq.ft. balcony, is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. This massive space and desirable layout allow for the unit to easily be converted into a 3BR (which has previously been done in a similar unit in the building). Perched on the 6th floor of a quiet block, it is one of the most tranquil and elegant homes you will find.

No attention to detail was spared in the luxurious improvements you'll enjoy in this special residence. The many upgrades include: a Toto Washlet; custom-built storage and organization solutions by transFORM and Shelf Genie; and motorized, remote-controlled window treatments. Every room in the home was 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.

The split layout of unit 6C offers one of the most efficient and sought-after floorplans available. The king-sized primary bedroom along with its generous en suite bathroom and enormous custom-built walk-in closet, create a peaceful haven. The second bedroom is also a generous size. The kitchen's Energy Star stainless steel appliances, custom-built cabinets, Caesarstone countertops, and imported Italian tiles complete the upscale experience. LG washer/dryer included. Bamboo floors throughout add a warm and inviting feel. The sale includes two deeded storage units.

Solarium, LIC's first green-certified condominium, is just two blocks from the subway-one stop to Grand Central! The location of this building is prime. It is just minutes to the East River and gorgeous waterfront parks with playgrounds, ball courts, dog runs, cafes, a new state-of-the-art library, and two East River ferry stops. Building amenities include a fitness center, playroom, garage, and a gorgeous bi-level roof deck with panoramic views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. There is also a rooftop projection screen for movie nights. 421-A tax abatement in place until June 30th, 2027. Total monthly costs, including common charges and taxes, are extremely low.

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.
